Blockbusters and Crepes

By
Since it is the blockbuster season, Danny and I have gone to see a few.  (Two to be exact.  Actually we did see the latest "Transformers" a few weeks ago, but it was really stupid, so I didn't want to mention it.  Shoot, I just did.)  We just saw the last Harry Potter movie today.  We have spent the past two weeks watching Harry Potter movies from start to finish to prep ourselves for the grand finale.  I know many of you have already seen the last one, but I still got to say WOW.  It was intense, but a perfect ending.  I even teared up in a few parts.  I can't help that I've grown attached to these characters 7 books and 8 movies later.  I'm a little sad it is all over.  I now want to read the books start to finish.



The other movie we went and saw was "Midnight in Paris".  We had a little date night to celebrate 9 months + 1 day of marriage.  We decided to follow a French theme, since I've had this infatuation with France lately.  (No really, I even had a dream the other night I was learning French and I was so delighted about it.)  We started the evening getting crepes, which were so scrumptious.










We then went and saw "Midnight in Paris" on the recommendation from the blog of my friend Camille.  (Thanks Camille.)  "Midnight in Paris"  is about a man (Owen Wilson) who is transported back to Paris in the 1920's every night.  It is very clever and cute.  Plus, I think it had a good moral about how it is important to not long for something you can't have, but live in the present.  Both Danny and I really liked it.  I also really liked the large bag of popcorn I consumed during the movie.  It was such a perfect evening.

    I'm not a Harry Potter fan, but I'm glad you all liked it. Do you think we'd like the Paris movie?

Oh Crafty Trees, Oh Crafty Trees...

By
I've become a finals widow, if you will, meaning Danny is crazy busy trying to finish up the semester.  This has given me extra time to use my crafty skills to get our place Christmas ready.  My first creations were these little paper/foam trees.  I've seen a few variations online of this craft. I put my own little twist on it.  They are really easy to make, just takes some time. Here is what you need: Scrap paper Hot glue gun 1" Circle punch Foam cone (at most craft stores) Toothpicks Note:  You are going to go to the craft store to buy the little foam cone and you will see styrofoam glue and you will think to yourself that would be a good thing to buy for this project.  Don't!  I got the styrofoam glue and it didn't work at all.  Just go with your trusty glue gun, it won't let you down. I think it's pretty self-explanatory by looking at the picture.  You just punch circles out from the scrap paper.  Then hot glue th...

Birthday Week!

By
This week is my birthday week, or should I say birth week.  However that sounds too much like birthing is occurring and that is not the case.  (Don't get any ideas, Danny and I have only been married for 5.5 months.)  Anyway, I firmly believe in celebrating birthdays for the whole week, because why not? Talena and I have a tradition each year that is the kick off for my birthday celebration.  You see, Talena and I were born 12 days apart.  On the midpoint day between our birthdays we go out to dinner to celebrate.  We always try to go some where we have never been before.  This year we went to the Citrus Grill, which was very delicious.  (Special thanks to Eliza for recommending the place.)  We had fun dining, laughing and sharing secrets, because that is what girls do. My dinner...doesn't it just make your mouth water. Talena Balena and Me. PS  We did have a funny little mishap with the dessert.  We got strawbe...

One of Those Nights

By
You know the time when you turn the corner too sharp and gouge one of your toes on the retro 70's border that lines your home and apparently you have really good blood circulation in your feet, because your toe starts bleeding profusely.  In an effort to stop the bleeding, you limp to the kitchen to grab a paper towel to clean up your poor toe only to track blood all over the carpet.  (But then, luckily the husband comes and helps clean up the blood trail, your sad, little toe and gets you a band-aid.)  So once you have recovered from your messy injury, your really nice husband makes you a smoothie to make you feel better, only for you to drip it down the front of you on one of your favorite shirts.  Yeah, it's been one of those nights.  Sigh. In other news, last week I went to the musical "Little Women" with Talena.  I wrote a review for the Utah Theater Bloggers Association, which you can read here .  It's been awhile since I've done any reviewin...
