Movie Junkie

Anyone who knows me knows I rarely go to the movies.

They know this because I never know what movies certain quotes come from and what not.

Well.

In the past two weeks, I have seen three movies!!

In a movie theater!!

I think that's some kind of record.

Anywho.

Last night, Michael Rudd and I went and saw When In Rome.

I have been dying to see this since I saw the previews for it when we went and saw Sherlock Holmes {this is my shout out to Whitney and Kirk}.

It was HUH-LAIR-E-US.

And super cute.

LOVED it.

Ugh so good.

It met all my expectations and I would go see it again if anyone asked me to.

Or by myself.

Please please go see it.

Let's Play a Game {Take 2}

Remember way back when I posted about the toilet in the middle of my backyard? And how I made a game out of it? Yeah we're doing that again. Ready...go.

What's out of place?

I'll give you a hint. It's not the games.

Maybe a close-up will help...

Say hello to Jerzee.

I went to get a game out of my parent's closet yesterday afternoon...

I climbed up there and screamed when I unexpectedly came eye to eye with this gato.

That's all.
