Five Things Friday

While I don't usually partake in tangent posts, I have a lot of random thoughts this week.

First, as you read this, I am on a plane to California. Woohoo.

Second, our oven hates me. Literally, every single time I bake something over 400 degrees every smoke detector in the house goes off. This gets old and is the absolute worst when T isn't home to go turn it off. At 5'2, I cannot come close to turning off the smoke detector unless I bring the chair in from the dining room.

Jillian Michaels is a mother. What? This woman scares me. I mean I have tried her 30 day shred and after 5 minutes I hate her. I watched her on The Biggest Loser and thought 'calm down lady' and now she has children! Also, I may be oblivious to things but I had no idea she was a lesbian. I guess I never thought about it. (and maybe she's not but in her People.com interview she definitely was in bed with a lady).

I love this woman who outed the man who stole her phone by posting his picture on Facebook. I am thinking about getting the app just so I can be that bitchy girl who outs you if you take my lifeline.

T occasionally lets me play DJ and I always remember songs that just made me happy way back when. I am always shocked that he hasn't heard of most of my favorites but I suppose it makes us even for the movies he likes and I have never seen. (One day Star Wars, one day).

Favorites: Everybody's Free by Baz Luhrmann. This speech put to music came out in 6th grade and yet I know every word. 

No Sex in the Champagne Room by Chris Rock. This song is stupid and therefore way too catchy. 

Torn by Natalie Imbruglia. Girl angst. 

Why Can't I by Liz Phair. More girl angst. 

Possibly a little too much girl angst. Anyway readers...let the Jersey Shore be a lesson with the start of summer happening this weekend...Don't Forget to Wear Sunscreen. 

Memorial Day Sales!!!

One great thing about holiday weekends are the sales associated with them. I wanted to bring a great one to your attention...a bling sale.

In 2004, my sorority had Bid Day shirts that read "Where's your bling?"...and I finally found it. Enter JoJo loves You, a cute Boston jewelry studio. They sell all sorts of bling: party bling, mini bling, fleur bling.

The Huge Memorial Day sale runs from Friday, May 25th through Monday, May 28th and is only available online through their web store, jojolovesyou.com.

Let me know if you check it out. I definitely will be.

What I'm Loving Wednesday

I watched the Bachelorette last night (a day late) and have to say I am loving, "If You Have Louis Vuitton  Luggage and You're a Dude, You're An *******." Agree.

I love that T and I are heading to San Fran on Friday. Our little getaway is so close!!! 

I love finding new and exciting workouts. Last night, I ventured over to my first Barre class at Barre 3 Georgetown. It was tough but fun. 5 minutes of wall sits, crazy hip flexor moves...I am definitely go to keep this up.

I am loving that with it being wedding and graduation season, I have tons of new Facebook picture perusing to do. 

I am also loving some of my recent pins.

May Movies

In May tradition, Friday T and I went to the movies. This time we saw What to Expect When You're Expecting. We hit the early show, 4:25pm, and the movie was pretty empty. Two pregnant couples, two girls, and us.

This was the Love Actually/Valentine's Day of pregnant movies. Everyone and their mother was in this film and really I don't think we needed so many different characters. We had the adoption story, the twins story, the miscarriage story and the rough pregnancy story. Since T and I have literally no experience with being pregnant (thank goodness!) we liked the rough pregnancy story most and felt it was the most relate-able.

It may also just be because Elizabeth Banks and her movie husband were the cutest little couple. You just wanted the best for them.

Overall thoughts: You definitely can skip this movie. It was nothing special. Favorite parts: Whitney Port's short scene and anytime Rebel Wilson was on the screen. I also appreciated that Chase Crawford had a normal voice and didn't sound as pretentious has he does on Gossip Girl.  Worst parts: I think that Matthew Morrison should just stick to Glee and the fact that everyone is in the hospital at the exact same time. Did we really need to bring every single storyline together? I don't think so.

I have a confession

I am pretty sure I have a problem. I was switching out my winter and summer clothes yesterday and finished the task by removing my winter running clothes from its little area. 

Somehow over the last few years, I have proceeded to obtain 11 pairs of tempo shorts (10 Nikes and 1 Under Armor). They range from pink on black to black on pink to blue on black and black on blue...really not a very unique lot. 

I have made a plan to rotate through these and actually get wear out of all of them....because I am pretty sure I haven't worn the hot pink ones in a solid year. 

Is there anything you have a secret obsession with purchasing? Or something you purchase all the time without realizing?

Fill In the Blank Friday

1. Something that is very near and dear to my heart is  my relationships with parents, with T, with my girlfriends. I also have a strong love of the Ronald McDonald House charities that started in HS.

2.  FRIDAY is a good cause to celebrate!

3. The most fun I ever had was S and my first Spain adventure. 

4. True friends are the ones you can call no matter the hour and they will be there. 

5. Something that makes me terribly happy is little tiger snooze.

6. A good way to spend a sunny day is outside! Reading in a park and people watching. 

7. My favorite celebratory food is carb heavy...likely cupcakes with chocolate icing.

May Movies

T and I have been spending each Friday at the movies this month and we have been lucky to see really fun films. First we saw the Avengers. I have never followed Super Hero movies except the first Spiderman so I had no idea what to except. I am pretty sure these graphs are my brain.

However, I am more for Captain America than Thor but you get the point. 

 I think the last 10 minutes of the movie were my favorite. I like when movies have additional scenes after the credits and the Avengers had two. I get this sort of giddiness for seeing them both since 90% of the theater had cleared out.

Last Friday, we went to see the Five Year Engagement. My mother recommended it and said she laughed out loud the whole time. So Did I. SO FUNNY. While I am a huge Jason Segel fan, I am pretty sure the best friend and sister are what made this movie. 

The only problem with the movie is that for a short time I thought I was going to be watching Like Crazy all over again and I would have had to leave the theater. There is no reason to relive that film.

Have you seen any great movies lately? What are you looking forward to seeing?
