Movie date

The husband and I made it a movie night Sunday. After drinking so many days last week, we had to end it with a movie.

A great movie at that.

The young boy that plays the main character, Max, is unbelievable. He totally played the crazy/misunderstood/lonely boy well. The creatures in this movie are even better. I really do like James Gandolfini as Carol. I could not pinpoint the other actors/actresses playing the other characters. The ending was a tear jeker. Of course, I did not cry. I can't seem to, but it did touch my heart.



Next up....

Bicycle Ride

So here I am on my bike, minus the basket. This was taken the day it was returned to me. I took it out this past weekend. Sunday to be more precise. It was a dry, dark and chilly day. The first time we went, we took Cooper, our dog, out for a spin. Well, the husband did. He rode his bike while pulling Cooper.

Second go around we rode throughout the neighborhoods. I was so focused on riding my bike (it has been years since) that I didn't even know where we were at.

We stopped at Te House of Teas to quence my thirst. I always get thirsty when I'm moving. Whether it's shopping or riding my bike.

After that we went home because we needed to go to Rice Village. He suggested maybe next time we can ride there. Next time....

Sheecago

Our one year anniversary is coming up (so soon already?). Time flies, really flies. The first year in marriage is all about the two of us. Having fun as a married couple. Introducing him as my 'husband'. That took getting used to. I believe I have it down now. I don't get this weird feeling anymore when I say it.

It was like starting a new relationship.

To celebrate our anniversary he booked us a trip over the weekend. I had been wanting to go New Orleans and so I thought he booked us a trip there. Last night I found out he didn't. He wanted it to be a surprise. Of course, me being a girl, I tried to guess. He gave me a hint: It's somewhere north of us. Hmmmm, we are pretty much as south as you can get. That could be anywhere!!

After much deliberation, he decided to let me know. I had to know what clothes to bring right??

So our anniversary will be spent in Chicago. I'm looking foward to it. Especially the fall weather.

Envy of all

The above pictures are from Tim Burton's Harper's Bazaar layout. These costumes cost a few thousand, but will get you many envious looks. I'm totally in love with all of them. I couldn't post the rest, but the website is available underneath the pics.

I'm not one to take Halloween seriously. Although,if the above costumes were available to me, I would be happier than a pig in shit.

If you haven't noticed all are based off of his movie characters.

Instant Poof

I was at a friend's house last night and the commercial for Bumpits kept showing. I mean literally everytime the show breaked for commercial it came on. It was like they were trying to brainwash me into buying it. Well, it looks like it may have worked. I'm very curious.

I've never bought anything off television before. (Somehow I have a feeling Bed Bath and Beyond will be carrying this soon)

I do like to have volume in my hair, but weather here does not permit. Not unless you have an economy size backcomb spray from Big Sexy. It takes me at least 3-4 days of not washing my hair to get it poofy after teasing. This of course requires planning.

Back on topic...

Bumpits look easy. At least it does on television. Check out the instruction below:

They have like a buy one get one free special. If it turns out well, I may pass it on :) Otherwise, don't be surprised if you open my Christmas gift to you and you find this.

So 90s

Nylon Magazine recently posted, on their FB account, a story on deep purple lipstick.

I must say I was so happy to hear this may be coming back. This shade was my first color of choice way back in high school. I feel this will replace the red shade I used to wear. I will always love you red, but purple has always been my first. <3

It's very nineties with the plaid shirts, ripped shorts and Doc Martens. Oh the memories. The shade I used to wear is still available at your local Walgreens/CVS, Revlon-Black Cherry, more <3.

It doesn't have to cost me more than $10.

Lost and not Found

This site is confusing. I can't figure out the whole following other blogs. I manage to somehow do it, but I can't remember how. I just click click click.

I will become at expert, eventually.

Now I'm off to eat my room service.
