They Grow Up Too Fast!

Here's my little buddy, Luke.

And the pretty little girl, Carly.

Man! I need to get me one of those!

May the Force Be With You

I love the summer. I love movies. I love the movies that come out in summer. I love movies. Did I already say that?

I'm so excited for so many of the movies that come out this summer. I've already seen 5 movies in the last three weekends! I swear... this month has all of the best movies coming out (except for Transformers and Harry Potter)! There's been a good one that's opened every weekend, and this weekend and next also have ones that I'm really looking forward to seeing. And every movie that we've seen has been really good (okay, I didn't love Angels & Demons... they just changed too much from the book. If I wouldn't have read the book I would have really enjoyed it though).

Surprisingly, my favorite movie so far has been Star Trek. And I've never seen a Star Trek movie or episode (nor have I ever wanted to)... I've never even seen a whole Star Wars movie either (not that they are the same - Chris, please don't hate me for never seeing Star Wars). So, if you haven't seen Star Trek yet, please go see it and tell me how you like it. Dr. McCoy is my favorite (and it's not just because the actor was in the Lord of the Rings movies) - plus, Capt. Kirk is a cutie! And if you've been reading my blog since last year, you will know that I love Christian Bale. So yes, I will be seeing Terminator. Hopefully this weekend. Also, I love Disney movies and I can't wait for UP. That dog cracks me up every time I see the trailer!So, what movies are you most looking forward to this summer?

"Have You Ever Modeled?"

This was the question I was just asked by a man that comes in quite frequently to our office. Now, don't for a minute think that I believed that he thought I could ever/have ever been a model. Not at all. This is just an example of one of the many awkward ways that this man gives me compliments. And how did I know that he was giving me a compliment, you may ask? Because after I sort of laughed (for his sake) and said No, he told me, "That was meant to be a compliment, by the way."

Wow... really??

Food Journal

Have any of you ever kept a food journal before? I've started keeping one the last couple of weeks and it's been pretty eye-opening. I'm not really trying to keep to a "diet" or anything... I'm just using it to gauge how much I really eat. And YIKES!

But it's turned into a really good thing for me. I know that I'm going to be writing down everything that I eat, so it helps me to stay away from extra snacks (the first week I realized how much I mindlessly ate while I am sitting at my desk during my 8-hour shift). Plus, it helps me see that I don't eat a balanced diet. Where the heck are the fruits and veggies??

Oh yeah... I'm picky...
