2010-03-22T05:00:00.000-07:00

I just finished reading The Last Song! I thought that it was so cute! I could not put it down! I wanted to know what would happen to all of the characters! This was my first Nicholas Sparks book that I'd read and I really love the way he writes! It was such a sad book though! I cried off and on through the last 50 pages of the book! I can't wait to see the movie! I hope that it is as cute as the book!!

Omelets

2010-03-21T05:00:00.000-07:00

I am in love with omelets right now!! They are so good! Alex introduced to me to cream cheese in my omelets!

I have one every day!

The Box

2010-03-16T05:00:00.000-07:00

Last night Al and I rented The Box! I really wanted to see this movie when it first came out! I usually really like Cameron Diaz's movies! This movie seriously sucked though! It was so dumb! I didn't even finish it! Al finished and told me what happened at the end and it made me happy that I didn't waste anymore time on it! It was stupid! Dont waste your time or money on this one!

Sega!!

2010-03-15T05:00:00.000-07:00

A couple weeks ago Al and I went over to his parents to grab Al's old Sega Genesis. Ever since we have been having way too much fun playing Sega games! When I was a kid I loved Sega so much!

Last night after dinner we went to see Alice In Wonderland with my Mom and a few of my aunts and uncles and my grandpa! I really loved it! I thought that it was so good! We saw it in 3-d and I can't wait to see it again! I thought that the dance at the end that Johnny Depp does was really stupid! Other than that one scene I really liked it!

Al's mom, Julie makes the best food. Everything she makes is seriously so amazing! She makes the BEST gluten-free peanut butter cookies EVER!! I am so in love with these cookies, it is kind of ridiculous! They are so easy to make too! Julie made these cookies yesterday for Trent's welcome home party!

2010-03-09T05:00:00.000-08:00

Have you seen Ghost Of Girlfriends Past? Al and I watched it the other day and I really liked it! I wanted to see this movie right when it hit the theaters and Alex didn't want to so I never saw it!

I am glad I finally saw it! It was really funny and cute!

Blue Moon

2010-03-08T05:00:00.000-08:00

Fame

2010-03-04T05:00:00.000-08:00

The Boy In The Striped Pajamas

2010-03-03T05:00:00.000-08:00

I just finished reading The Boy In Striped Pajamas! I really enjoyed this book! It was so interesting reading a story about the Holocaust from the German perspective. The book is portrayed through the eyes of a nine year old boy named Bruno. It was a sad book but worth reading! It was very interesting and such a quick read! I would totally recommend it if you want to read a book about the Holocaust!

Dear John

2010-03-02T17:00:00.000-08:00

I admit it, I did cry a little bit! It was so sad! I am tempted to read the book now! Have you ever read a Nicholas Sparks book? I haven't and I think that I might have to give in and read a few!! If you haven't seen this one and want a good chick flick this one is a must see!!

Question...

2010-02-26T05:00:00.000-08:00

Question for all of you out there... What type of toilet paper do you buy? Do you buy the really cheap stuff so you get more for your money or do you buy the good stuff? I am in love with Charmin Ultra Soft! It is the best toilet paper ever! When I try to save a few dollars I can really tell the difference!

Beauty Sleep: A Retelling Of Sleeping Beauty

2010-02-25T05:00:00.000-08:00

Prophecy Of The Sisters!!

2010-02-09T05:00:00.000-08:00

One evil.

Twin sisters Lia and Alice Milthorpe have just become orphans. They have also become fierce enemies. As they discover their roles in a prophecy that has turned generations of sisters against each other, the girls find themselves entangled in an age-old battle that could have consequences of biblical proportions.

Lia and Alice don't know whom they can trust. They just know they can't trust each other.

I just finished reading this book! I absolutely LOVED it!! It was so amazing! I couldn't put it down! It took me only 2 days to read! It was such an intense story! I just found out that this book is going to be in a trilogy!! The second book in the trilogy doesn't come out till the summer! I can't wait! This book is definitely my favorite book I've read all year!!

Advair

2010-02-08T05:00:00.000-08:00

My doctor just prescribed me Advair. He warned me that it was a very expensive prescription but I didn't think it would be that expensive! I was shocked when the Pharmacist told me it was $187.00!! That is ridiculous! The worst part is that it is only one months worth of medicine!! So lame!

I just finished reading Marley & Me! I was kind of disappointed with it! I thought that it was going to be such a great book, but it wasn't. It had such great parts that I loved but then other parts were so boring!! The author, John Grogan would go into such detail that felt completely irrelevant! The end was so sad and I totally cried! It was an ok book, I doubt I will ever read it again.

Bright Star

2010-02-04T05:00:00.000-08:00

Time Of My Life

2010-01-24T05:00:00.000-08:00

I finally finished reading Time Of My Life last night! It wasn't my favorite! I really liked it but a lot of it was really sad and depressing! I'm glad that I read it because it was pretty entertaining. It took me a really long time to get into though! Not my favorite book ever, probably wont ever read it again, not worth owning. It was good not amazing.

The Reader... The Movie

2010-01-22T05:00:00.000-08:00

Yesterday Sara and I finally watched The Reader! We read this books months ago and never got around to watching the movie! I thought that the movie was surprisingly good! Lots of nudity and sex but not a dirty as the book! I think I liked the moive just as much as the book! That never happens! I think its almost just worth watching the movie instead of reading the book. It was good but I doubt I will ever watch it again! It was very interesting though!

Alex decided to surprise me with a trip to Las Vegas for our Christmas present this year!! We had agreed that we wouldn't get each other gifts this year but Alex is naughty and booked the trip without me knowing! I am so excited! We leave in a few hours! I love going to Vegas! I can't wait! We are staying at Treasure Island this time! We haven't ever stayed there before but we've heard amazing things about it from Jon and Sara! I am so excited for the warm weather, good food, and people watching!!

New Shoes!!

2010-01-11T05:00:00.000-08:00

I gave in and bought a pair of flats today! They are pretty cute and really comfy! I hope that I wear them! There were a lot of other pairs I really want too! I only got one to see if I actually wear them! If I do then maybe I will go back and buy a couple more! They were so cheap! Only 20 dollars! I love a deal!

Jennifer's Body!!

2010-01-05T05:00:00.000-08:00

Last night Al and I watched Jennifer's Body! I really wanted to see it when it came out but never did! I thought it was going to be really stupid but I thought it was so funny! I really liked it a lot!! It had some of the funniest lines! I would seriously own it some day! If you want to watch an entertaining horror/comedy you should rent this one! I loved it and Alex liked it too!!

He's Just Not That Into You

2010-01-04T05:00:00.000-08:00

When this movie first hit the theaters I was dying to see it! I never got around to it and I just barely watched it a few days ago! I thought that it was going to be such an amazing movie! I was disappointed with it! It wasn't as good as I hoped it would be! It was an ok movie, not great though!

So Good!!

2010-01-02T05:00:00.000-08:00

Yesterday I went with my mom, grandpa, aunt Noogie, aunt Nore, Uncle T, Jens, and Laney to see New Moon! I was the only one in the group that had seen it before! I loved it! It was so fun seeing it the second time! I missed out on a few tiny details! I need to go see it again when its in the dollar theaters! No one liked it as much as I did! I am such a nerd! I can't wait to go see it again!!

Best New Years Yet!!

2010-01-01T07:00:00.000-08:00

Last night was New Years Eve and Al and I decided to stay home and have a quiet night together! We played Mexican Train Dominoes for a few hours! I had so much fun playing games with my boy all night and watching movies! I think it was the Best New Years Yet! I had such a blast!!

4 Christmases

2010-01-01T06:00:00.000-08:00

Last night Al and I watched Four Christmases! I totally thought it would suck! I was pleasantly surprised! It was a really cute movie and had a bunch of cute parts to it! I thought it wasn't going to be funny at all but I definitely was laughing throughout the entire movie! I thought it was really cute! Worth watching for sure!

Happy New Year!!

2010-01-01T00:03:00.000-08:00

Happy New Year Everyone!!

I hope that everyone has a fun and safe New Year!! I have a feeling this year is going to be a good one!!

Public Enemies

2009-12-30T15:00:00.000-08:00

Today my Mom and Unca Dan came over to hang out and watch Public Enemies with us! I LOVE Johnny Depp and wanted to see this movie so bad! I thought that it was pretty good but not my favorite! I loved Johnny in Blow, where he plays a bad guy but this one wasn't nearly as entertaining or as interesting as that movie! I liked it a lot but it was hard to keep all of the different characters straight and know who they actually were. It was good but not amazing like it should have been!

The Princess and The Frog

2009-12-29T05:00:00.000-08:00

Yesterday I went with Al's family to see The Princess and The Frog!! Sadly Al had to work so I went with all the girls (and Brody) to see it! I LOVED it!! I thought that it was so cute! I can't wait to add this to my collection of dvd's! It was pretty creepy though! If I were a little kid I would have been terrified of the shadow man and all of the scary voodoo magic he does! I can't wait to go see it again and drag Alex with me!

Christmas Pictures

2009-12-28T05:00:00.000-08:00

Mark and Julie gave Alex and I a new camera!! They gave it to us on Christmas Eve so we could take pictures on Christmas! Aren't they the greatest? We had been without a camera for 4 months! I absolutely love our new camera but I'm still trying to figure out all the awesome things it can do! Thanks guys for such an amazing camera! You are too good to us!!

Koali looking adorable in her jammies!

Akex kept taking random pictures of everyone but I thought this one of Julie was so cute! I couldn't resist putting it on!

Christmas morning at Moms! Mom looks adorable! (She is actually smiling for a picture!)

Becca and Megan. Becca always is looking grumpy in pictures and Megan always looks so cute!

Alex and I! Al had to work Christmas morning and luckily got off work a bit early and got to have Christmas at my Moms! I was so excited!! Christmas totally sucked with out my boy!!

The kids looking very grumpy in our reindeer antlers! Mom always makes us do something silly every year!

Mom and Unca Dan in their antlers!

My cousins, Shazi and Jens at my grandparents! Christmas isn't the same without Ada there!!

Sammy and Lilly in front of the Christmas tree in their CUTE scarves! We had such an amazing Christmas this year! It was so much fun spending so much time with our families!

Angel Food Cake

2009-12-27T05:00:00.000-08:00

Today I made my first gluten-free angel food cake! It tasted pretty good but was very dense! I wanted it to be light and fluffy and sadly it didn't turn out like that at all! I am determined to get it light and fluffy next time! My uncle told me to beat the egg whites longer next time or to add more! Does anyone else have anymore suggestions?

Sherlock Holmes

2009-12-26T10:00:00.000-08:00

Today Alex, Marky, Julie, Koali, and I went to see Sherlock Holmes! I thought that it was pretty entertaining! Alex wasn't too impressed! He fell asleep for half the movie! I loved Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law! I thought that they were very funny together!! It was a pretty good movie, not my favorite but worth seeing!

Merry Christmas!!

2009-12-25T05:00:00.000-08:00

Done!!

2009-12-24T17:00:00.000-08:00

Somehow I managed to get all of our Christmas shopping done in 2 days! I finally finished today! I spent 9 hours yesterday shopping! The crowds were terrible! Next year I am planning ahead!!

How the Grinch Stole Christmas

2009-12-24T10:00:00.000-08:00

I just finished watching The Grinch! I loved this story when I was a kid and it is so fun to watch it over and over again! It is up there on my list of favorite Christmas movies! Such a good one!!

I'm Dreaming Of A White Christmas!!

2009-12-24T05:00:00.000-08:00

It snowed non stop yesterday! I really want a white christmas this year! The weather man stays that snow is not in the forcast! Cross your fingers and hope he is wrong!!

Love Actually!!

2009-12-23T06:00:00.000-08:00

Yesterday Sara and I watched my favorite Christmas movie Love Actually! It is such a great movie! I watch it every Christmas at least once! I absolutely LOVE it!! Alex for some reason refuses to watch this movie! He just needs to give it a chance! If you haven't seen this movie you really have to! It is so wonderful!!

The Nutcracker!!

2009-12-23T05:00:00.000-08:00

Last night Julie, Koali, and I went to see Ballet West's The Nutcracker! It was so amazingly good! I absolutely loved it! It was so fun going out with the girls to see a ballet! Alex will sit through ballets if I force him so its nice to be able to go with just the girls! Alex's little cousin Whitney was in the ballet (one of the party girls)! It was so fun watching her throughout the entire first act! She was absolutely adorable! I loved it so much and can't wait to go again next year!!

Let It Snow: Three Holiday Romances

2009-12-22T05:00:00.000-08:00

Last night I finished reading Let It Snow!! It was so cute! I thought it was such a fun Holiday/Christmas book! All 3 of the stories intertwine with each other! They are such cute stories! The 3 stories take place in the same town on Christmas Eve! I really liked it a lot! I might have to read it again next year to help get me in the spirit of Christmas!

R.I.P.

2009-12-21T05:00:00.001-08:00

Sad!! I just heard that Brittany Murphy died yesterday! I really liked her! I LOVED her in Clueless! I can't believe she was only 32 when she died! So sad! I will really miss her! She was a funny and entertaining girl! Rest In Peace!

The Holiday!!

2009-12-21T05:00:00.000-08:00

I wasn't feeling too well yesterday so I decided to have a lazy day in bed! I watched The Holiday! I absolutely LOVE this movie! I think that it is so cute!! I have a confession, I watched it twice yesterday! I am such a nerd but I wasn't in the mood for anything else! I love the story of this movie and can watch it over and over again! It is so great!

Gluten-free Crepes!!

2009-12-20T05:00:00.000-08:00

The other day Al made me some delicious gluten-free crepes!! They were so amazingly delicious! I couldn't get enough of them! I keep asking him to make them for me again! I am totally in love crepes right now! They are so yummy with cinnamon and sugar! They are so good and so easy to make!!

Holiday Inn!!

2009-12-19T05:00:00.000-08:00

Last night while Alex was at work I decided to watch Holiday Inn! I had never seen it before and I LOVE Bing Crosby! I thought that it was so cute! I love old movies when they sing and dance!! It was so good! Definitely worth owning someday!

Procrastinate Much?

2009-12-18T05:00:00.000-08:00

This is the worst I have ever procrastinated! I am so naughty!! Christmas is in one week and I haven't even started my Christmas shopping yet! I hope that I can get it all done! I swore last year that I wouldn't be out shopping on Christmas Eve and once again I'm sure I will be! I am seriously starting to panic!

America's Favorite Dancer Is...

2009-12-17T05:30:00.000-08:00

RUSSELL!!

Alex and I loved Russell from the very beginning of the show! He is such an amazing crumper! I was so happy when he won! I loved Jakob, he was seriously amazing but Russell was just so sweet! I love it when my favorite wins!!

Happy Birthday Julie!!!

2009-12-17T05:00:00.000-08:00

Today is Alex's mom, Julie's Birthday!! I am so lucky! I have the greatest mother-in-law in the entire world! Thank you so much for being so amazing!! We love you so much! I hope you are having a great b-day at Disneyland! Happy Birthday!!!

A Christmas Story!!

2009-12-16T05:00:00.000-08:00

Today Sara and I watched another X-mas movie! We decided to watch A Christmas Story! It's one of my favorites! I was so shocked when I heard that Sara had never seen this movie! So naturally, I forced her to watch it with me! I love this movie so much! It's tradition that I watch it every Christmas! I am getting more and more in the Christmas spirit! All the Christmas movies are helping!!

Christmas Wish List

2009-12-15T05:00:00.000-08:00

Every year Alex and I write up a Christmas List for my Mom to help her with her X-mas shopping! Here you go Mommy! I hope that this helps and gives you a few ideas!

Britt's Christmas Wish List

I'm dying to own the new Harry Potter dvd!

I LOVE getting new socks!! The more the better!

I would love a new book or 2! A Barnes & Noble gift card would be greatly appreciated!!

Alex's Christmas Wish List

Alex loved The Hangover and really wants to add it to our dvd collection!

Al LOVES getting new socks as much as I do!

Alex would love a new video game and a gift card to GameStop would be amazing so he could go pick out what one he wants!

Sad!!

2009-12-14T05:30:00.000-08:00

Today we got some terrible news! Breathe Day Spa is closed!! It is our favorite place to go get a massage! I hope that they can re-open their doors once we are out of this recession! Cross your fingers that they open again soon! I have given lots of family members gift cards there and I hope that they used them!

New Phone!!

2009-12-14T05:00:00.000-08:00

Over the weekend Alex broke his phone, again. That was the last of our phones so we had to get him a new one. Al bought the new blackberry curve! It's so pretty! He decided that it made more sense for me to have the new phone and him take my old blackberry pearl! I am much more careful with my phones and don't break them nearly as often as he does! I am loving my new phone and having fun trying to figure out how to use it! Thanks Al for the NEW phone! I love it!!

Yummy Potatoes!!

2009-12-13T05:00:00.000-08:00

Al's mom, Julie makes the best potatoes! I asked her for her recipe and tried my hardest to make them taste half as good as hers! I offered to bring the potatoes to Sara's and Jon's Christmas party last night! I was so nervous but I thought that they turned out so good! I had a big plate full and by the time I went back for seconds they were gone!! So I guess that means everyone else thought they were pretty delicious too! Cooking gluten free foods can be kind of tricky sometimes but the potatoes turned out amazing! Thanks Julie for the recipe!!
