Finally

I was having a terrible day.

Work will do that to you sometimes.

So, I went to the gym.

And it got worse.

The treadmill was skipping, and I almost fell off.

So, what is a girl to do?

I get on the elliptical and do intervals for 30 mins.

Then I do 20 mins of leg weights.

Then I did the cross-trainer/elliptical for 15 mins.

I feel amazing now.

And this is what it makes me think of:

Elle Woods is my idol.

Happy Hump Day!

Getting Reacquainted With:

ABC Family, like they do all the time, has had a Harry Potter weekend. Since I went to bed at 9 pm last night and woke up still sick at 7 this morning, I have taken this opportunity to lay around and reacquaint myself with my good buddies: Ron, Hermione, and Harry.

I still think I enjoy the books better, and I ahven't seen the last 3 movies, yet, I guess they'll be back on my Netflix queue. I only have the first 4 books here, my sister has the last 3. I've been meaning to read them again (as well as Twilight, but that's a totally different post).

So, while I drown in Airborne and get some rest, turn on some ABC family and reacquaint yourself with some former friends.

Rainy Days

I really can not believe it is raining in San Diego, and has been all day. It is not very often that my day gets put on hold from a little bit of rain. However, people in So Cal (I'm not a native so I can give them a hard time if I want to) do not, I repeat, DO NOT know how to drive in the rain. Whether it is pouring, sprinkling, or misting, it is as if their "moron" hats come on and they can't drive. We saw an accident on our way home from the gym. Obviously, it is best to stay inside. I am thinking of kicking back and watching some TV shows I need to catch up on ("Hart of Dixie" and "Gossip Girl") and then probably watching this:

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year

With October coming to a close, we are fast approaching my favorite time of year.

I do love Thanksgiving, but nothing beats Christmas.

I love Christmas music, shopping, trees, lights, presents (who doesn't, right?), and the overall feeling around Christmas. You just can't help but be happy.

Taking a line from my friend, "Buddy," here's how I feel during Christmas:

"I just like to smile, smiling's my favorite!"

There's nothing about this movie that I don't like.

I love Buddy, and I love Jovie (but who doesn't, hello, its Zooey Deschanel!)

Since the holidays are fast approaching, I can soon, but not quite yet, dig out the Christmas music. I am desperately in need of some new tunes, and since we're on the subject of Zooey Deschanel I can not wait to go get this:

Remember who song in "Elf?" If you didn't know, she and M. War make up "She & Him," and she's a great singer. This CD sounds so awesome.!

I really think you should all go get it. I can't wait to pick it up.

Samples:

Footloose and Fancy Free

If you did not know, Footloose is definitely my all time favorite movie. I haven't watched it recently (shame on me) but I really love the movie. I love Kevin Bacon's character, Ren McCormack and John Lithgow's character, Reverend Shaw Moore. I love the idea of books being banned and not being able to dance in a small town and a guy from the big city coming in to change that. I love the 1984-ness of it, I know that's not a word, but I still love it.

My heart broke in a million pieces when I saw they were remaking it, with rap in it? Something about that ruins it for me. I was watching Blake Shelton's video for Footloose and I felt forced to like it because its Blake Shelton. I don't know if I find it worse that they are literally remaking it with the same characters and would I like it better as a sequel, or the fact that it will be different.

Personally, it just won't do as well in 2011. Its too sexed up.

Anyway, this is my favorite scene:

Hilarious

I watched the movie, "You Again" last night.

I thought it was hysterical.

This scene is my favorite.

You should see the movie, it is available instantly on Netflix.

Laugh a lot.

Do you ever?

Watch a ridiculous movie and actually really like it?

Well I watched this today:

I liked it because my mom's family is from North Dakota.

If you are not up on your geography, it is right by Minnesota where this movie takes place.

Anyway, it definitely reminds me of them.

Minus the fact that nobody said "Uff da" in the movie.

It made me smile.

Cheesy, yes.

But who doesn't like cheese, right?

Things I Really Like and Think I Could Not Live Without (But Probably Could)

I really love this photo of my cousin and her dad, my uncle. I wish there were more days for him to have been with us, but moments like this one are cherished by everyone. I love this photo, definitely a fave.

This was a picture of the sunset at Mission Beach last weekend. I love sunsets on the beach in San Diego. Maybe more to come this weekend. Beautiful.

Reliving my childhood... Spice Girls. :]

From Here

Emily Giffin might replace, well, not replace, but join in line of the author who I will eventually end up reading all of their books. I loved Something Borrowed, I'm waiting for Something Blue to be ready for pick up so I've begun reading Baby Proof.

Nicholas Sparks

Jodi Picoult

Stephenie Meyer

J. K. Rowling

Emily Giffin

Soon I will be able to cross her off that list.

From Here

I need a big floppy hat, ASAP. I can not find one that I really, really like. I like the ones that I saw at H&M (not pictured above - which I should have but I don't want to edit this post) but I could not find the right color. Ugh. I want one SO BAD.

From Here

Why hello there, what could be better than the Backstreet Boys? Or what could be better than New Kids on the Block? Oh, that's right, THEM JOINING FORCES FOR NOT ONLY A TOUR BUT A CD! Okay, I'm sorry for yelling, but you should see the huge cheesy grin on my face. I love it. Love, love, love it. I had my Danny doll as a kid, which if I hadn't gotten him at like 4 years old I would have kept for a collector's item. Oh well. Swoon, NKOTB and BSB together. Big smile.

Found Here

Fruits and vegetables. Yum, I've been getting all my servings, and it feels and tastes good. All we have left are pears. I need more than pears!!

Found Here

Bruno Mars' Grenade. I love this song. Chris and I both love it. At first the song is all about being heartbroken, but then he gets angry. It is phenomenal. I love it. He's kinda cute too, but I have more of an affinity for the above mentioned NKOTB and BSB.

Found Here

This movie, Titanic, is on TV. I used to have the biggest crush on Leo. My friend from elementary school and I were obsessed. I had this framed photo and my mom stepped on it and broke the glass and my friend and I about went into shock. Anyway, it is on and it definitely makes me think of my childhood; oh and my mom covering my eyes during the sex scene.

Finally, a post with photos. I hope to take a solo adventure tomorrow and maybe have some photos, although I will be busy.
