If you dare wear short shorts...

The infamous tag line of Nair. Well, let me say this about that:

I have never used this product. At work one day a co-worker/friend of mine goes off on a tangent about how wonderful it is, and I should try it, that I would be crazy not to.

I buckle under the pressure and buy it. I follow the directions step by step, exactly. It worked, however...I have to say that I will never use it again. I think I would prefer dowsing my legs in gasoline and lighting them on fire. I believe that is equivalent to what I felt when I used it. My experience only, maybe its just not for me? Definately not!

My review, Harry Potter

You might think I am going to review the movie, however I am not. I am not too big on giving my two cents on movies, I think everybody has a different take on a movie, what I like some people may hate. (unless you review Gigli, then I think we are all on the same page) Anywho...my review is not of the movie, but my experience at the theatre.

It was pretty obvious that since the movie had just premiered there was going to be a big crowd. We had to get there 2 hours early to get tickets, and we were able to get in the theatre an hour early. My husband did his thing, analyzing every ratio of the theatre in order to select the absolute perfect seats, dead in the center. Once he was was finished with his song and dance we were seated, happily eating our snacks, (which cost more than the damn tickets).

The place starts to fill up, and there is an empty seat on either side of my husband and I. Then, as usual, the last few stragglers come in five minutes before the lights go down. This (I am being polite) overly-generous-sized man comes in, (ok, he was a cothundra) and he wants to sit next to me. I don't judge, maybe he has a thyroid problem or something. Does that excuse the fact that he doesn't think he needs to wear deodorant? Now I'm skeeved, and to add insult to injury, this guy sits down and knocks my box of candy out of my hands, and it spills onto the floor, leaving me with 4 measly Milk Duds.

I'm fuming, my husband is doubling over in laughter (he is so sweet) and I am about to cry because my movie experience is getting ruined by this guy. (people tell me that I have a tendency to be overly-dramatic)

No apologies from my new friend...no...now he wants to talk to me. He starts asking me about the weather, and he has informed that it will be raining when we leave the theatre. I am about the thank him for officially creeping me out when my husband decides he has tortured me enough, and comes to my rescue by pretending to ask me a really important question. So the movie? Two thumbs up, four stars, yadda, yadda, that's my review and I'm sticking with it...

Half Blood Prince

The huz & I are going to the movies tonight, sans kids. We are going to see the new Harry Potter movie, and the inner dork in me is so excited, I cannot wait to go.

I haven't read any reviews, and will not talk about it with any of my friends. I don't want to have any pre-conceived notions about this one. All I can say is I REALLY hope that it is good, and will discuss when I get back. If you've seen it, I hope that you are reading this thinking to yourself that I will be pleased. Mostly I've gotten giggles and winks from my friends...not sure what that means, but what the hell...

Back from vacation!


We had a great time on vacation. The girls had fun swimming and playing with all their cousins. We hiked up a really cool trail and found a waterfall. Of course half the places we went I forgot my camera, which ticked me off. Sadly, I wasn't able to take a picture of the waterfall because when we got up there I realized the camera was sitting in the car. One hike is enough for me.

Here is one picture I did take, it is where we stayed, so pretty! I wish I were still there sitting by pool, but alas, I am here, and back to work and all that fun stuff. Fun stuff? I think not...

Happy 4th and Happy Birthday!


...to...ME!


I turned the big 3-1 on July 3rd, god help me.


I celebrated by having a wonderful dinner with family and friends, and can't thank everyone enough for coming along to enjoy my birthday. I have to share one gift, however, because its one of the best ones I received. I didn't have time to take a picture of it, so I just snagged one from google. The image is the same, but the style of the one I received is a little different. You can never get enough of Edward Cullen.
Thank you Dena!

I will be on blogging hiatus for the week, my family and I are traveling with my husband's extended family on vacation. I can't wait, it should be a wonderful time! I'll miss you all, and I'll be back in a week!
