A Movie Script Ending

I saw The Proposal today and really enjoyed it. I don't often want to see a romantic comedy and to pay to see it in the theatre is almost unheard of for me. Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock got me there, though. I love them both and they did a great job in this movie.



What was more exciting, though, was seeing the preview for the upcoming movie adaption of The Time Traveler's Wife. I loved loved loved the book and have been patiently waiting for the movie to come out. Seeing the preview made me remember the book and I got a little misty during those few minutes.

I encountered this when I got home. I wanted to vomit. I'm just thankful I didn't step on it.

Worst Hangover Ever

Go watch this movie right now. I'll go with you. I haven't laughed this hard at a movie in oh so long. And Bradley Cooper? I've had a crush on you since Alias, but now I want to have your babies.

Here Comes The Sun Again

I get in this discussion a lot with people, but I don't understand liking and enjoying summer. I always clarify my "I hate hot" statement by adding that I love both the beach and the pool. Being hot when near large bodies of water is great. It makes sense. What I don't get is being okay with being hot and sweaty when on one's way to things like work and social gatherings. Call me crazy*, but I like to look my best when going out and 90+ degrees is not my ideal for that.

I don't like spring just because I get terrible allergies. Even though I take allergy stuff now, it still affects me and I remember being 16 and having itchy red eyes from about April to June and then sneezing still until the flowers died off come fall. Despite my allergy to nature, I get why people like spring. This year I feel like we had an actual spring. It seemed to never get above 80 and the nights still had a chill in the air. I hope we get a proper fall this year, too!

I know I am very alone in enjoying winter more than summer, but I'll never ever change. Even when I'm rich and own a yacht**, I'll still prefer the colder times of the year.

So, you guys enjoy sweating while I count down to both being by the water and it being fall.

*Just don't call me Shirley
**But see, being in/on/near a large body of water negates the heat. Hmmm!

Big Boat

I just think it's amusing I've been at that exact same spot.

And with better hair!

Girl And The Sea

Me, Ali, and Amira are headed to The OC tomorrow. That's really all I've got.

Via Chicago

I've been doing a lot of living lately, so while I have a ton of stuff to write about here, I'm just too busy to do so. You know what that means? A list!

+ Ali and I went to Chicago to see Nathaniel graduate from Navy basic training. I am so extremely proud of him and ecstatic to have him as my brother-in-law soon.

+We met Kristin, who is awesome and it was one of the best first meetings ever. It didn't hurt that she took us for wicked good pizza at the original Unos.

+I drove 14 hours straight on Sunday and my foot was sore for days. I'm kinda proud of it, though.

+I own a lot of DVDs. And CDs.

Rain Song

It poured today. The rain often reminds me of when I was a lifeguard because, to a lifeguard, you're always excited for a good storm. I used to be the best at spotting storm clouds in the distance and we would just wait for it to roll in and we would all keep our eyes pealed for lightning and our ears were on alert for thunder. The disappointment when a storm would pass by was high. As long as we were on a thunder or lightning then our jobs were so easy and usually the families would leave and we would get paid to hang out.

That's what rain reminds me of.

There were some days when it would storm and the swimmers would all leave and we would just hang out and read all day. We would set up the chaise lounges, cover up with beach towels, and read books and magazines for hours. I LOVED those days. One of us (usually me) was always on alert, though, for a patron or, even worse, a board member, but we usually could hear the cars coming down the gravel road and we'd jump up and pretend to be cleaning something. I worked my ass off at that job otherwise, though, so I figured some rest was okay every once and awhile.
