Tinseltown Tuesday

This week was rather uneventful also...where is Lindsay Lohan when you need her? haha I give you Tinseltown Tuesday....

7. I'm sad to announce that Body Shop founder, Anita Roddick, died Monday night in London after suffering from a major brain hemorrhage. She was 64. I certainly hope someone takes over and continues her legacy. My honey body washed body will miss her!

6. Steve-O (Jackass) has a new show coming up. It is titled "Dr. Steve-O". He is on a mission to "de-wussify" all wussies on the street. Apparently "de-wussing" someone is making someone do bad things in front a police officer and not getting caught. I see someone going to jail over this show...bad idea!!

5. Everyone is talking about Paris Hilton's hair from the MTV VMA's. Apparently they say she looks like a 56 year old woman. So what! I didn't think it looked THAT bad. You be the judge. 4. Kid Rock and Tommy Lee (both Pam Anderson's exes) are neither one apparently over her. Why else would they be fighting? Besides being overgrown children? Apparently, Kid Rock was ignoring Tommy while he was mouthing stuff to him in the background. Kid walked over to Tommy and b-slapped him with the back of his hand. Then there was a punch. Tommy Lee was escorted out (crap considering he didn't do the physical starting) and there is said to be a battery charge for Kid. Boys, Boys, Boys!! Didn't mama teach you how to share? haha

3. Vanessa Hudgens, the cute dark headed girl from the High School Musical movies, has some nude photos circulating these days. They were pictures that were taken 2 years ago (she was 16 then-hello!) and they were only emailed to Drake Bell of Nickolodeon's Drake and Josh! What???? She has publicly apologized. WOW!

2. Sara Evans (country singer) was on Dancing with the Stars, if you remember, and she dropped out in the middle of the season to proceed with a divorce that she had just filed. She had just found out that her husband was cheating on her. Poor Sara! Not so much now...her husband has filed a counter something or other stating that she had affairs with not one, but several men including, Kenny Chesney, Richard Marx, her Dancing with the Stars partner, some of her band members and 3 members from the band 3 Doors Down! Wow-someone has a cheating problem! Is there a meeting for that?

1. Britney Spears....I actually feel sorry for this girl for once. As a mother of two kids, I know what kind of damage and weight gain can be done to your body. I have gained 130 pounds since conceiving my first child. Some from this and some from that, but a lot was baby weight and I just never even tried to get it off. I'm lazy, I know. Anywho, everyone is talking about flabby she was and several other things, but mostly how flabby she was. HELLO!!! I would give anything to have her body after having 2 kids! She looks good! Her hair sucks, but that's her fault. She should not have shaved it! haha Anywho, and for that Sarah Silverman to take a shot at her kids thinking that was funny, calling them 2 adorable mistakes...that was just crappy! Britney has brought a lot of this stuff on herself, but give the girl a break...and don't talk about someone's kids. That was low....Sarah Silverman is not funny to me anyway. Heffer!

So, that's it!! Your Hollywood fix for the week! Hope you enjoyed it!

Weekend Fun!

Well, my camera needs a new battery and of course, it doesn't like regular batteries, I have to have a special Kodak something something battery. So, until I can make it to Wal-Mart (which is in another town for all of you who are blessed with big towns/cities) I will just have to use pics from the net.

This weekend was somewhat boring I suppose, but I loved it! We have been going, going, going the past several months every weekend, so I was pleased to just sit in my pj's all day yesterday and watch movies. I decided to give a critic's view (haha) of the movies that I watched.

First and foremost, I watched (minus husband and children) Georgia Rule. This movie is a definate chick flick which I absolutely adore chick flicks! It is about a girl who is unruly (Lindsay Lohan-imagine that) and her mom (Felicity Huffman) takes her to Idaho to live with her grandmother whom her mom hates. Of course, it brings romance and some skeletons come out of the closet only to bring this unruly girl and her mom closer. I give it 4 stars out of 5.

Second on the list was Are We Done Yet?. This is the sequel to Are We There Yet?. It picks up where the first movie left off. Nick (Ice Cube) and his wife (Nia Long) are expecting twins and decide to buy a home in the country. Of course, this home falls apart in all places when bought. I gave this movie a 2 stars because if you have ever seen Money Pit from the 80's starring Tom Hanks and Shelly Long, then you have seen this movie. I was very disappointed. My kids liked it though! haha

Third on the list was Perfect Stranger. This movie stars Halle Berry, Bruce Willis, and Giovanni Ribisi. It is about a girl who works for a paper in New York and her best friend from childhood comes up dead. The girl, Halle Berry, comes from a troubled childhood and the supposed best friend knows a secret on her and blackmails her into doing everything she wants. So, when the friend dies, they suspect this very wealthy and promiscuous man (Bruce Willis) of killing her. This movie is very suspenseful and definately has a surprise ending. I would love to have read the book if there was one. The language is pretty bad. They use the F-bomb frequently. I give this movie 4 stars.

Last, but not least I watched Disturbia. This was such a good and suspenseful movie. It definately kept you on the edge of your seat. It is about a boy (Shia Labeouf) who is on house arrest and he makes a habit of looking through binoculars at his neighbors. His mom had taken away all his tv, itunes, and such. Anywho, there is a serial killer on the lose and low and behold...it just might be his neighbor, Mr. Turner. This movie is filled with sadness, happiness, love and suspense. It is a definate must see for you thrill seekers. I give this movie 5 stars!!

So, there you have it boys and girls!! That is my weekend fun! Talk to you tomorrow for Tinseltown Tuesday!

Tinseltown Tuesday

Tinseltown Tuesday is going to be one fact short today. The celebs just aren't giving me anything to work with! haha Plus, I'm a little under the weather today and late getting this posted. Anywho...off to la la land...

9. Owen Wilson is said to be doing much better. I think he has been released from the hospital, but not sure.

8. Sean "Diddy" Combs, Puff Daddy in my day, held his annual White Party in St. Tropez this weekend. In attendance on the white carpet were Mariah Carey, Busta Rhymes, Donna Karan, Ashley Olsen, Tommy Lee, and Star Jones just to name a few. The wife of Billy Joel, however, was asked to change her clothes when she showed up in a cream colored outfit. She opted to leave. Don't blame her!!

7. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are ready for baby #5 says Brad while promoting his Jesse James flick in Venice. He didn't specify if it would be a biological child or adopted. I vote adopted. I don't see Angie doing that again to her body. Just me. Don't forget, they have baby Shiloh together, Maddox from Cambodia, Zahara from Ethiopia, and Pax from Vietnam. I heard they were planning on the next one being from Ethiopia again.

6. Speaking of Brad Pitt, he was malled by some chick in Venice. She stated she was just trying to get a hug, but she should know better than that!!

5. Britney Spears is sporting a ring on her all important finger! She's been partying a lot with Mindfreak Criss Angel, but this is supposed to be for her appearence on the MTV Video Awards to be held on Sunday. Some sources say she was wearing the ring before she even started hanging out with Criss....let's hope so...she does not need a man and especially no more kids!!

4. Michelle Williams and Heath Ledger are kaput. They do still share their 23 month old daughter, Matilda. Hopefully they will get along for her.

3. Free Katie Holmes! That is what one MARRIED online dating service is saying. They offered her a lifetime membership. haha

2. Wedding Bells were ringing on Saturday. Among the married on that day were: Kate Walsh from Grey's Anatomy who plays Addison....they have only been dating since February so we shall see on this one, Usher finally got married after his mishap before, and Guiliana DePandi from E! News and winner of The Apprentice 1st season, Bil Rancic, were married on Saturday.

1. Awww!! The Bachelor's Andy Baldwin (see previous post) competed in the Kentucky Ironman contest this weekend. It was a 3 part competition including 24 mile swim in Ohio River, 112 mile bike course through Louisville, and 26.2 mile run to finish. He crossed the finish line 1 hr 1/2 after the winner, but since he was late anyway, he stopped and carried his love, Tessa over the finish line with him. So Sweet!!

Have a good week!

24 Boxes

I found this super cool blog called 24 Boxes. It is about this chick and she just posts about her favorite things to cook with these 24 boxes of veggies she gets every year. She has devoted this blog to seasonal cooking with these fresh veggies. Check it out!

Miss Teen USA South Carolina 2007 with Subtitles

Tinseltown Tuesday!

Erica has Modge Podge Monday, Debbi has Good News Wednesday, so today is the start of Tinseltown Tuesday!! This is the first stop for your Entertainment News! Yay!! Please feel free to give me any information you know on national or local celebrities! ; ]

10. What is up with BRITNEY SPEARS??? She has went off the deep end to say the least. First this trailer trash of a guy named K-Fed, then two actually cute kids, re-hab which apparently didn't work, shave of the head (can we say freak a zoid?) and now she is talking about taking Sean and Jayden James to Europe so that Fedex can't get the kids. I personally believe that these poor children should not be with either one of these parents. I started to feel kinda sorry for her b/c of her life being so public, but she will not stay home!! HELLO! GROW UP!

9. Did OWEN WILSON attempt suicide? I certainly hope not, but that is rumor all over the WWW. Wilson supposedly had an argument with an unidentified person and then supposedly slit his wrists (don't think he would do that, it is so lame) and took several pills. A neighbor to Owen said that there was a police car, ambulance, and a fire truck there. Sounds to me like a pet (i.e. cat) got stuck in a tree. But, something did happen, because Owen is in Cedars - Sinai. Get Well Owen!!

8. PARIS HILTON and KID ROCK? They were photographed together, but who knows. People always assume the worst! haha

7. ZAC EFFRON (sp?) drives an Oldsmobile Alero. So what? I used to drive one too. It makes me look at him better, he isn't stuck on himself and is a real person. The paparazzi are so mean!

6. We Big Brother Fans all new that JEN (heffer) was a nanny in Beverly Hills, but for whom you may ask? We found out yesterday that she is the nanny for Vanna White. Poor Vanna. After seeing BB, I'm sure she will fire Jen. She is psycho people!!

5. For all you Dancing With the Stars lovers, here is the supposed new cast for the next season: Gisele Bundchen, Richard Quest (?), Sabrina Bryan (cheetah girls), Nia Peeples, Helio Castroneves (?), Aaron Carter, Wayne Newton, Mark Cuban, Dr. Quinn lady, Tori Spelling (Go Tori!!), Jennie Garth (what is this a 90210 reunion?), Floyd Mayweather, Jr., and Lou Ferrigno (The Original Hulk).

4. KATE HUDSON and that DAX SHEPARD dude are all over each other from pics from this past weekend. I certainly hope that was not the reason for Owen's demise.

3. HOOKUPS: Jessica Alba and Cash Warren are maybe back together, Cameron Diaz and John Mayer are still hot and heavy, folks are talking about Renee Zellweger and Paul McCartney hooking up...he's old enough to be her dad..don't get me wrong, I'm a Beatles worshipper, but I wouldn't go there! Yuck!

2. NICOLE RICHIE only spent 82 minutes in the slammer. She was ordered to stay for 5 or 6 days or something like that...82 minutes, that is not even an hour and a half! Somebody got paid, that is all I'm going to say!

1. Ok, so everyone is talking about this but I so couldn't help it. Apparently in South Carolina, people are not teaching public speaking or english for that matter....see Video!!!

Well, that's it!! Have a good week!!

Jackson's Turning 6!!

All had fun on Saturday at the Perry House. Cake was eaten and presents were had. Lots of cool stuff that Chris and I enjoyed playing with of course!! I can't believe that I am going to be the parent of a six year old on Wednesday! It was six years ago on a Wednesday that I was in labor for 14 1/2 hours, not receiving any pain medication and pushing for thirty minutes b/c he was transverse (face up, I think, opposite of what he should be). At 9:35 p.m., there was a little boy weighing 8 lbs. 7.4 oz. born! Boy, it was a day and I was sure glad it was over and my little was here. I would do it again in a heartbeat!

Jackson is turning 6!!!

Tomorrow is Jackson's Transformers Themed birthday party. I hope to have pictures put up on Monday. Everyone is invited. It is at our house at 2:00 p.m. and we are grilling hot dogs!

School's Back In!

My little children are getting so big! Jackson started the first grade today which wasn't much of an adjustment as he had went to Kindergarten the year before and Preschool the year before that. Plus, he is the oldest. Lauren, on the other hand, is my last child, my baby and she was so excited about starting school today. I know it is only Preschool, but this is it for me. : [ I knew that she would either be super excited or hate it and thank goodness it was super excited! She told the teacher this morning that she loved her! haha Her teacher is a girl that went to a different school than I, but we have always known each other. On the plus side, this is the first time that I have not had to pay for child care in six years!! Mucho Grande Savings!

Ode to the Television....and DVR!

Alrighty then....if you know me very well, then there is no question that I LOVE television!! I have two DVR's in my home just to keep up with my shows in case I don't get to watch them during their alloted time. Right now, I'm loving me some Side Order of Life on Lifetime. It is about a chick that works at a celebrity magazine called In Person (In Touch, anyone?) anyway, it is about her life and her friends and what not, definately a chick show. As previously posted, I'm absolutely OBSESSED with Big Brother 8. Although my Nick is gone, the show must go on. Other good shows for the summer are The Hills on MTV, Greek on ABCFamily, Burn Notice on USA (the guys will like this, Chris does), and Design Star on HGTV.

OK...now for the upcoming Fall Season...these are my usuals that are awesome and some new ones I am willing to try.

Usuals: Survivor: China ~ Premieres Sept 20th

Grey's Anatomy ~ Premieres Sept 24th

The Bachelor 11 ~ Premieres Sept 24th

How I Met Your Mother ~ Premieres Sept 24th

The Apprentice ~ TBA

Desperate Housewives ~ Premieres Sept 30th

Newbies: The Big Bang Theory ~ Premieres Sept 24th

Dirty Sexy Money ~ Premieres Sept 26th

Private Practice ~ Premieres Sept 26th (I'm so ready for this one)

Carpoolers ~ Premieres Oct 2nd

Samantha Who? ~ Premieres Oct 15th

Now, let's all take a minute to have a moment of silence for my Dearly Departed shows that were given the boot for this season:

The Class which was an awesome show that came on CBS after How I Met Your Mother. It was this show about these 6 people or so that were all in the same 3rd grade class and had went their seperate ways over the years only to all end up at the same place at the same time together. It just goes on from there and was the MOST hilarious show on television. It will be greatly missed by the Perry Household.

What About Brian? was also cancelled which I feel is a totally crappy thing for the network to do. That show was great also. It was about this group of friends and some family that had been friends for ages. It was just a good ol' drama/comedy. This show was on for two seasons and I hate when I get "emotionally" attached to them and they boot them off without closure for me. haha I will need therapy if this keeps on going like this! haha

Anywho, now you have my agenda for my DVR this season, not that you care, but it was something to blog about!

Bachelor....Again?

I don't know if anyone follows the Bachelor on ABC like I do, but this past season looks to end up like all the other seasons...heartbreak city. It was reported yesterday on TMZ.com that Andy and Tess have called off their engagement. They did say that the couple was still an item, but just not ready for marriage...DUH! They barely knew each other, but they could have stayed engaged. So, in the spirit of this yucky news, I have done some research to the previous bachelors and recorded their track records.

Season One ~ Alex Michael, single

Season Two ~ Aaron Buerge, single and auctioned off ring given to girl on Ebay I believe

Season Three ~ Andrew Firestone, one of my faves and I hate that he & his chick didn't work out

Season Four ~ Bob Guiney, ended up marrying Rebecca Budig who played Greenlee on All My Children

Season Five ~ Jesse Palmer, NFL player of course didn't stay tied down long

Season Six ~ Byron Velvick, I didn't watch this one, but I'm glad b/c this dude is creepy looking, but he is of course...single!

Season Seven ~ Charlie O'Connell, another of my faves..he and his chick lived together for a couple of years but I believe they broke up either earlier this year or last year

Season Eight ~ Travis Stork, I loved that he picked Sarah who was from his home town of Nashville, but of course, they are no longer

Season Nine ~ Prince Lorenzo Borghese, it's weird that they call themselves prince and princess b/c if you watched the show, you would know that his ancestor was a Pope and decided to declare his family as prince this and princess that, so not really royalty...anywho this season was pretty good and i liked that he showed his feelings. he picked the wrong girl and dumped her and went with Sadie, the one he should have picked to begin with, which they are now kaput!

Season Ten ~ Andy Baldwin, aw!!! I loved him sooooo much!! I wasn't too keen on Tess, but as you see previously, they aren't broken up yet, but are NOT engaged any longer

Season Eleven ~ Brad Womack, this is the new guy...not too cute to me, he is 34 and it says that he is a "self - made entrepreneur" (i.e: unemployed?) The new season starts September 24th at 8:30 p.m. CDT on ABC!

Book Swap Deux!!!

I have been sitting here thinking of another swap that everyone could do. I thought about candles (melt in the mail), recipes (boring-can do on the web), or houses (not many would participate! ; ] ), and I have come to the conclusion that the book swap rocked (Go Debbi!!) and so, I have decided to do a book swap deux! Anyone who would like to participate, just email me at ladybugs123179@yahoo.com with name, address, likes and dislikes and we will pick on Wednesday, August 22nd. Hope to hear from everyone!!

Pretty Picture

I was playing with my camera lastnight and found where it took sepia pictures. I had this figurine and decided to take a picture of it and just thought it was cute and that I would share with everyone. Too bad I had the date on there. I was too lazy to take another one without it though! Happy Monday Everyone!

My New Comforter

This is the comforter that I ordered today for my bedroom. I can not wait to get it. It was on sale too which is even better!!

My New Room!

I felt very trading spaces last week, or maybe Style by Design, or whatever! Anywho, I decided I wanted to paint my bedroom and redo a bit. The before picture shows when I had already slaved for hours scraping my wallpaper border down and i had the furniture moved, pictures off the walls, etc. I forgot to take a real before pic. Afterwards, I have this lovely color of Balsam Beige and chocolate brown curtains. I still have my old comforter for now but have ordered one from JcPenney's. I will post it after this post because I don't know how to say click "here" and it go to that site, so anyone who would be so kind as to enlighten me on how to do that, I will know for future reference! haha Enjoy!

Big Brother 8

Hola Senoritas!! Assuming everyone is female! haha Anyway, I need a new post so here we go...I tend to get all gung ho into things that I like and with case in point...I am OBSESSED with Big Brother 8. For those of you that don't know what that is, it comes on CBS on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday nights. It is about these "houseguests" that live in a secluded "house" on the CBS lot for like 3 months. They have no access to TV, Internet, Phone, nothing. They have a person that is elected as the Head of Household who then nominates two other houseguests to be put up for eviction every week. One of these houseguests will go home on Thursday night every week. They also have a Power of Veto competition, but I won't get into that. Anywho, I started watching this show a few years ago. It comes on in July-September of every year and I absolutely love it. Anywho, my FAVE person got voted out last Thursday night and I am still just so mad. His name is Nick and he is from Minnesota and played Pro Football for the European Football League. I am like a little school girl because I found his MySpace page and he added me as a friend! So excited! He also added about 3,000 other people, but we will just ignore that! My husband just rolled his eyes when I told him about this. He thinks I'm crazy, but that's ok, he still loves me! So enjoy the pic of beautiful Nick and this is my post for the day. I hope to have before and after pics of my bedroom that I am painting by the weekend! Love Ya!!

I'm finished...finally!

I finished my At First Sight by Nicholas Sparks book last Thursday night around 1 a.m. It was a very good book especially for a sequel. I was pretty disappointed with the ending, but I will live! Thanks so much Debbi! We need to do another swap ASAP! On my agenda next is this Twilight book everyone keeps talking about. I won't be able to get it until Friday though, so stay tuned!

NO JURY DUTY!?

Alrighty then...I went to jury duty once again today and climbed all those stairs. I couldn't breathe, even the skinny folks that did it couldn't breathe! Anywho, it was cancelled. Bummer! Well, maybe I will have something exciting to post if I get called again. I am on the list until December 31st (my birthday)!! Don't ask about the Beavis and Butthead pic, I just liked it and thought it was funny! ;]

What???????

Today was my first day of jury duty. As you can read in the previous post, I was really excited about doing this. We were there for a little over an hour. We had to watch a jury orientation video (bore) and then call roll, which by the way...many people did not show up and I wonder if they will receive a failure to appear...anyway, then we had to stand and swear to be truthful and then the lawyers kept whispering. So, after about 30 or 45 minutes, they said they were having "technical difficulties" and told us we could go home and come back tomorrow! I am very disappointed at this point. Maybe it will go better and more interesting tomorrow!

Jury Duty

I received a letter yesterday stating that I was being summoned for Jury Duty next Wednesday and Thursday. As most receive this letter, they are consumed with the feeling of doom. They are so disappointed and gripe about it. Not me, no way! I have been wanting to be called for jury duty since I registered to vote when I turned 18 years old. I'm 27! That is 9 years!! I know this sounds dumb, but I don't see what the big deal is. You get a day or so off from work and you get to be nosey! haha I have wanted to do this because maybe my voice/decision will be heard and justice shall be served! I'm a dork, I Know!

Update on Diesel

Diesel went through surgery yesterday fine. It only took about 20 minutes and his mom said that he slept really well lastnight and only spit up a few times. He had a bowel movement, not that anyone cares, but this is an improvement for him! They are going to get to come home this morning!! Thanks for all the prayers, they worked!!

Prayer Request

Everyone please pray for Diesel. Corie took him to the doctor yesterday b/c he kept throwing up. They then went to see a doctor in Little Rock and he wasn't in or something so they took him to Children's. They ran some tests and found out that the opening from his stomach to his small intestine is closed. He is having an Upper GI done right now and then they are going to do surgery to open it up. The doctor said that this is something that is very common, especially among baby boys and babies that are premature (he was 3 weeks early) The doctor also said that it was a simple procedure and they just want to keep him for 24 hours I guess to make sure he keeps his food down and that kind of thing. I'll try to keep everyone updated.

Sweet baby Diesel is growing up too fast!! He turned one month old on Saturday.

I have a VIRUS!

All I did the other day was go to a website trying to find a graphic for myspace for someone's birthday and BAM!! I now have a virus! I have deleted programs, I have ran spyware and virus protection thingees, I have changed settings to high security and what not. The only thing left that I know to do is wipe my computer out and redo over. I hate to lose all the pictures that I have on there though. What has messed up is that when I turn my computer on, it is extremely slow and everything is fine unless I get on the Internet. Then, I have a zillion pop ups and they will not quit. My pop up blocker is on and everything. I don't know what else to do, so someone, anyone, I need suggestions!!

SCRAPBOOKING 101

I am kinda/sorta new to the whole scrapbooking thing and I am really fixing to get gung ho about it. I have had a ton of stuff just sitting in the corner in my bedroom just waiting on me to tackle it. I am going to give in to my urge and hopefully finally touch it TONIGHT! I found this book online and I am thinking of purchasing it this weekend. If anyone has seen this, I would love reviews!!

Book Ideas Wanted!

ok, so after I get done reading this awesome At First Sight by Nicholas Sparks, I need ideas from anyone on what to read next. I need to read the last 3 books of Harry Potter, but I just can't get into it right now for some reason. Also, every time I read a Harry Potter book, it makes me exhausted. I say this because my "reading" time is right before I go to sleep. I dream about Harry Potter all night long and never actually rest. It is hard for me to read any other time because of getting the kids fed, bathed and ready for bed. So, anywho...any suggestions out there?

My little ones DO love each other!

My brother is 14 years older than me and my sister is 10 years older than me. So, although I sometimes get stressed that my children are only 21 months apart and they act up a lot, I love the fact that they will grow up together. My siblings were more like parents to me, especially my sister. Now, my sister's daughter is almost 16 and we have so much in common. She acts just like me, although I don't know if that is a good thing or a bad thing sometimes! haha Jackson will turn 6 in August and will be in the first grade and Lauren will be in 4 yr old preschool this year. Where has time gone? Just yesterday I was pregnant with Lauren and Debbi and I were talking on yahoo messenger everyday. It seems like yesterday. Matter-of-fact, the past 10 years seem like yesterday to me. The first 16 years of my life seemed like forever and since then..well wow!! We definately all need to cherish the here and now because the next time you think about it, it might be 10 years later!

It's here!! It's here!! It's here!!

Finally! Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix movie! I can't wait to go see this this weekend hopefully. Long live Harry!

More than Meets the Eye!

Oh my!! This movie was so cool!! haha I know I sound like a child, but this put the cartoon we all knew and loved in the 80's into a magnificent graphics movie! I highly suggest it and I'm a girl!

4th of July

Hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July!!

I'm Hopelessly Devoted to....Guitar Hero II!!!!

I'm officially obsessed with Guitar Hero for my Xbox 360. I know this is useless time that I'm wasting away as I play this, but it does good for my carpel tunnel syndrome! haha I played it so long lastnight that my right hand aches as I type this message!! But, I'm still reading my book to so I'm working not only the right side of my brain, but the left also. : ]

Bridget Jones???

Ok, so wow, I know I'm really behind here, but I just watched The Bridget Jone's Diary. It is now my new favorite movie!! Poor girl just couldn't quite get it right in the whole man aspect. It was a cute movie...only problem I had with it was the F bomb was used A LOT. Those British folks must just let it fly!
