Stop and Stare-Weekend movies and new tv shows

This weekend the hubby and I saw two movies..50/50 and What's your number?

50/50 was really good, funny, thought provoking and a little sad.  It was a unique twist on the story of how families and friends deal with cancer. I would recommend seeing this!

What's your number I liked better in the commercials. It was kind of raunchy humor, very predictable and not even that entertaining. I am sucker for a romantic comedy but this one just didn't sit well with me.


I am enjoying the return of the fall shows that I even write down in my planner what is on each night haha A couple new shows I am loving are:
Hart of Dixie-Love Rachel Bilson and the small town drama in this show!

 The New Girl-Zoey Deschanel is super cute and the guys she lives with are the sweetest!

Whitney-She is hilarious and awkward and I enjoy the comedy in this show!

 Revenge-DRAMA FILLED! Love how everyone is intertwined and it is suspenseful!

I'd love to know what you are watching??

Vacation Recap part 1 July 1-July 8

So sorry that I didn't blog while on vacation in NY visiting family, I wanted to get in as much time as I could with my family and friends! I arrived home in Texas late Monday night and yesterday was a clean fest seeing my hubby was alone in our house for two weeks fending for himself while working twelve hrs a day so after a cleaning, organizing, and groceries day along with a dentist appt, I collapsed! On to the recap!

July 1: Our flight left San Antonio at 530 am yikes but we were able to be back in NY by 1230! I'm not sure how but we ended up with first class seats! We booked literally a week before our flight and really was just looking for the best deal but we got upgraded I guess! I enjoyed the blanket and pillow provided, comfy seats and service! Hubby's mom picked us up from the airport and we headed to lunch then home. We didn't do much just visited with Hubby's family and then took a walk along the beach where Hubby grew up!

July 2: Hubby went golfing with some friends and I headed to my parents house to visit and put away my body bag of a suit case! I was so happy to meet my nephew Blake, he was five weeks old and I fell in love on the spot! I just couldn't get enough of him! After golf, hubby came over and we all visited and had a nice cookout and enjoyed our year old wedding cake topper, still delicious too! After visiting with everyone, we went to visit some friends at their houses and then went to a cute local Italian place for a late night dinner just the two of us!








July 3: Hubby went golfing again while I went to church with my parents then hung out at their house all day and relaxed. Later that evening, Hubby and I went to a local bar to meet up with some friends for a drink and then to another friends house for a little get together!
July 4: Happy 4th of July! I brought my Hubby to the airport around 10am because he only had Friday and Monday off! I made it back to my parents house in time for the hot dog eating contest!! Love it! Then we all headed to my sister's house for a cookout and some pool and Blake time! After a delicious meal and fun pool time, we ended the evening by having some smores at my sister's new fire pit! No fireworks but lots of family time which was awesome!





July 5: Mom and I headed to a local mall to look around. I didn't find anything but it was nice to visit stores I do not have hear in south Texas! The rest of the day we just relaxed and watched the Teen Mom premiere hehe


July 6: I saw rain for the first time in a good couple months! It was quite nice! Mom and I headed to Walmart and Marshalls to look around and I got a cute pair of nine west denim capris with the rest of my gift card! Then we headed home to relax and have dinner and went for a nice walk around town.

July 7: Mom and I headed to the Cuse to visit a work friend for lunch and then shopped around. I got a cute pair of shorts from forever 21, a cute pair of khaki shorts from target and a pretty pink cardigan from Target! After shopping I headed to dinner with another friend which was nice to catch up on everything and enjoy some yummy food and ice cream! After our visit, I headed back to my parents house to watch Big Brother!!! So happy its back on, Ive watched like every season!


July 8-Mom and I headed to my sisters house to visit with Mr. Blake and my sis. I loved spending time with him and holding him! He grew so much in the two weeks I was here! We went to a couple local thrift shops but I didn't find anything! Later that night I met my friend at the mall and helped her find an interview suit for a teaching position and we also had some yummy unos dinner! After shopping I went back to her new house and she gave me a tour and I chatted with her and her boyfriend!

My next post will recap July 9-17!

Another movie weekend...this time no theater, just rentals!

This past weekend the hubby and I had a wonderful low key weekend!

Friday: Went to a yummy dinner just the two of us, then rented the next three days and the fighter. Watched the next three days that night then watched a few good men on tv!

Saturday: Went to breakfast at our favorite little hole in the wall then came home to watch the fighter, which was really good, then I wrote my last grad school paper EVER and we lazied around. We went to a local Mexican place for dinner then rented The Switch, with Jennifer Anniston, which was super cute too, love the little boy in the movie!






Sunday: We slept in, got some essentials at Walmart, headed to Chillis for lunch (food overload weekend, detoxing this week, till Thursday when its NY cuisine extravaganza!) then home to relax and workout at the gym. I dont know if anyone is an Army Wives fan but yikes what a sad episode Sunday, definitly crying throughout the whole episode!

This week is already going by fast! I cleaned the house yesterday and went for a walk! Tomorrow I work at the thrift store then Thursday I will be on a plane to NY to see family and friends!!

Well hello!

I hope you enjoyed my tunes for the week! I found this great website to download songs called gomusicnow.com
This week feels like it flew by! Valentines Day was low key but fun, I delivered Valentines to the hubby and his class and then went to lunch and bowling with some friends! We enjoyed a delicious meal of pasta and meatballs at home and just relaxed for the night! Tuesday was spent writing three papers as well as enjoying Glee! Teen mOM (Guilty Pleasure!) and My life as liz(which I am not loving this season, seems too scripted!) Wednesday, I worked at the thrift shop and today I enjoyed a wonderful walk outside in the sunny 80 degree weather! Tomorrow I am working at the thrift shop and reading ahead for my classes next week!

Hubby has a three day weekend so it will be nice to spend some QT with him! In things to look forward news hehe, I booked my flight home to NY today! I will be heading home for a brief visit in April! My sister's baby shower is that weekend and I am excited I will be able to go, unfortunatley the hubby won't make it!

Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend and if its a long one, enjoy your Monday! Already done with three weeks of grad school, only 6 more to go and I will be a master of human resource management lol CAN NOT WAIT!

The Sing Off is back!

On NBC the Sing Off has returned!! I loved it last year and my favorite acapella group from the beginning,  NOTA, won! Last night was the first episode of the season and it didn't disappoint! Here are my favorites so far!


The Back beats


Committed


Eleventh Hour

Its on Mondays and Wednesdays on NBC! Check it out, some of these singers give me goosebumps!

LOVED GLEE AND THIS LAST NIGHT!!!!!

Mid-week break!

I am proud to say I finished my rough draft of my thesis paper all 30 pages of it. I sent it to my sis to look over, she is the english/writing/librarian in the family! I also started to organize another paper thats due in a couple weeks as well as read and answered questions on a case study due next week! I feel quite productive thus deserving of a reward lol

I went grocery shopping and did some laundry as well today! Its a beautiful and sunny day in Texas so maybe I will go enjoy it by listening to some tunes outside and going for a little walk.

Although Ive been doing massive amounts of grad work I did catch Glee! last night and loved it! Britney Spears has always been one of my faves and I loved that Britney on the show shined, she was hilarious. "It's Britney...bitch" lol Anyways here are some tunes, besides Miss Spears, that Ive been loving lately!!









Music always makes me happy:)

movies and grad work..

Sorry for the lack of posts! I have still been consumed with grad week this past week! I am about mid way through the semester and the papers and work have not subsided.

This week was interesting and not so:
-did copious amounts of work on my thesis paper and other two grad classes
-went to my first Officer's Spouse club event and met some spouses who were super nice!
-Played Bunco for the first time and enjoyed it and ended up winning 4 sketched wine glasses and a bottle of wine!
-watched Glee (loved it!) and The Office Premiers!
-Made homemade mashed potatoes (hubby says they were delish!)
-Had a job interview for a HR assistant job, got offered the job, turned it down, full time, crappy pay, worried about balancing 40 hrs with 3 classes! At my previous job, I worked 40 hours and did 2 classes but I was able to school work at work when I completed my duties at work, they were very lenient and encouraging but this job, which I spoke my concerns, said they couldn't accomodate my grad school work, even though I am going for HR, and said the only thing they could do was have my work 8-4 every day instead of 730-430...big woop.
-Watched some movies on starz while doing copious amounts of school work and went to the movies yesterday to see Wall Street which was really good! Definitly want to see the first movie!
-Today I wrote 6 pages of my thesis paper only another 19 to go lol

Happy weekend...Im kinda grumpy!

3 months of wedded bliss!

After 3 weeks of being apart, my hubby came back home on Wednesday after a successful training! Just in time for the Big Brother finale!! Glad Lane and Britney won something! Can't wait till next summer for a new BB cast!

We also went to the movies twice this weekend! Friday we saw Easy A which was really cute!! and tonight we saw The Town which was quite intense but a good movie just a little different then my usual romantic comedy lol


I have quite preoccupied with my school work for my masters!! Hopefully this week, I can take some time away to work out, relax a bit. I am going to my first Officers Spouse club event this week and Im excited to meet some fellow spouses!! Also looking forward to a couple season premieres this week: One Tree Hill, Glee and The Office!!



Today is our 3 month wedding anniversary!! Glad that we are together at home to relax and enjoy each other's company:)

Teen Mom recap

So on last night's episode it seemed like all the moms wanted to move on and out of their current living situation.

Farrah: Can be quite annoying but good for her getting away from her unstable mom and finding an apartment for her and Sophia. I didn't think it was the best idea to leave her daughter in the hall way while she brought stuff in though...baby steps i guess

Maci: I think Maci is enjoying college and being with her friends and would like the freedom they have but like her dad said, what happens when she moves into a house with girls and they want to throw a party and she wants to Bentley to sleep. Might not be the best idea. She isnt doing too bad, her parents are nice and helpful, shes making money at her job and shes getting child support as well. We will see what happens with her...shes my favorite:)

Amber: Amber and Gary are just a hot mess! Hes meeting girls and getting numbers at Walmart...oh boy! I do have to say that Amber looks really good, she has lost a lot of weight since last season. I think Gary and her need to just both grow up and decide what they want, although I do enjoy their drama and the hilarity of their fights.

Caitliyn: I was so sad watching last week's episode when she moved back in with her mom and stepdad aka Tylers dad. Im glad they are staying together because they are cute couple and really love each other. Texting old bfs from three years ago isnt the best idea when you have a great guy like Tyler! I hope she doesnt think out of site out of mind!

Until next week! Cant wait to see what unfolds!

Tonight=power of veto=big brother!

Summer= Big Brother

Along with exercising, reading books, organizing my new house, I love BIG BROTHER!!

Its only been a couple weeks but I look forward to Wednesday, Thursday, and Sundays!!

Its on CBS and its addictive and drama filled and fabulous!!

I really would love to be on the show but I dont know if I would be cut out for it all!

Not a good liar lol




Is anyone else enjoying this guilty pleasure??

Excited for Teen Mom tonight!

This reality show should be shown in high schools but I have also become attached to the original cast : Maci, Farrah, Catelynn, and Amber! Im excited to see how the babies have grown and how the relationships have evolved and how their lives have changed!

Im still getting used to the time change being in Texas as compared to NY but I will not be missing this show tonight! 9pm for me 10pm eastern!

Downtown Girls on MTV

New show alert!!!

Its a mix of the City and the Hills and takes place in NYC group of all different young women trying to find the right guy and excel at work in the city!! Im a sucker for a good reality show!!

Check it out!!

Glee-Madonna episode!!

Just watched the Maddonna episode of Glee that I missed last night. We went to the movies to see Kickass last night, action packed movie! Loved madonna issue and love Glee!!

Work issue: no suspension just a write up, soo stupid and way to make the last month of work awkward! I didn't do anything wrong or intentionally but she has a vendetta with myself and another co-worker that is ridiculous, made up in her mind. She's age discriminator-she said to another employee that she would never hire young people again!

Anyways, time to turn my mood around and enjoy the rest of the day with my love!!
We are heading to a local bar for dinner and drinks! And it is sunny and beautiful!!

Weekend recap:) my love is here

Saturday: Not so successful outlets trip! I was on the search for Reebok easy tone's and they were no where to be seen! I ended up getting fiancee some socks and khackis from Old Navy, a pair of white trouser pants and blue skinny capris from old navy and a cute pair of patterned shorts from Gap! All these purchases were on my list so I'm excited to have found them. My next purchase will be new sneaks, seeing I havent gotten new sneaks in two years! After the outlets, I went to the airport and picked up fiance, it was absolutely wonderful seeing him after two long months of being apart!! We drove to our hometown and watched his brother in a play!


Sunday: Went to breakfast with fiance's mom and bro and then headed to my apt to meet friends and their new cute baby!! We visited for a bit then went to the mall to look for cute shoes for the baby and then to Golf Galaxy because the guys are golfers and wanted to trade some clubs in! It was a really nice visit!! Then we headed to fiance's parents house for dinner and to visit with his cousins! We did make it back to the apt in time for Army Wives!

Monday: Payroll day, busy day at work, bombarded with my supervisor wanting to suspend me for a day and not being able to tell me why until tomorrow at a hearing with my union rep present! Very nerve racking being blindsided and accused of not doing my job correctly, I take pride in my work and don't like being ambushed with accusations and not able to defend myself! Fiancee was a sweetheart and after work I picked up my bridesmaid dress for my friend's wedding then we went to dinner at TGIFridays and went to the movies to see Death at a Funeral,funny movie!


Today has just been quite nerveracking.....I just have to keep reminding myself I only have a month left!

Movie Review and New favorite Show!!!

So at 4pm at work, everyone goes home, and my co-worker and I have to stay till 5:00pm for phone coverage. This has been going on since January, nobody calls from 4p-5p and we have a 24 hour dispatcher who answers most calls. Anyways, my co-worker and I have been watching episodes of criminal minds (great show!!) and movies. Yesterday we finished Post Grad with Alexis Bledel. Very cute movie!! Can definily relate to the movie when I first graduated from college plus Gilmore Girls is like my favorite show ever so I have always been a fan of Alexis Bledel.


On to the new tv show, Army Wives!! I had heard about it for awhile but never thought to watch it. I watched the first four episodes of season 1 yesterday and I am hooked!! I love all the drama and the friendship between the women!! Seeing I will be joining the ranks as military (air force) wife in less then three months, I thought I should get a little taste of it. My fiancee says that the two services are completely different but I am thinking that the relationship between the women carry on though all the services!!


This weekends plan:
Tonight- clean do laundry and relax
Saturday-order and engrave my wedding band!! Then head to my hometown to watch my high school's talent show, I am sure it will be a fun time!
Sunday-Palm Sunday, hang out with the family and then head back to my apt, next week starts my 4 day work weeks!! Hope everyone has a fun weekend planned!

Mtv shows!!

So ever since I was a young pup, I have always enjoyed MTV. Being the music lover that I am, I always looked forward to watching music videos in the morning!! Sadly, MTV has cut back on the videos even TRL is gone!! Anyways, I have always been a fan of their other reality shows as well
Laguna Beach
The Hills
The City
16 and Pregnant
Teen Mom...The list continues..last night though I watched one of my favorites..True Life!! It was True life I'm an Ex-Amish!! Soo intriguing to look at how different their lives were and how they struggle with all the freedom and balancing their relationships with their families.


I also caught the season finale of My life as Liz..such a funny and cute show!! She is a hilarious and I love all her friends and her buddy relationship with Bryson!!


Anyone else out there MTV show fans???

ps. Excited for Idol tonight and another 16 and pregnant... I feel soo old almost being 10 years older then these girls having kids!!

Schools in session!

Online classes that is..Monday was the start of my two online grad classes. They are 9 week courses so there is alot to cover! Yesterday after work I did some hw and then during work I did some discussion board posts and then after working out and tanning I did a couple more posts!!

It's been quite a while since my last post..nothing to exciting going on lately.
I have finished up all my Christmas Shopping, just need to start the wrapping process! This week I have a couple holiday parties. Thursday is our work party which we all bring in food during lunch and we are playing a game, I guess you could call it the white elephant game, but we had a $10-15 limit. I got a cute snowflake tin and filled it with a gift card to Dunkin Donuts and a couple car air freshners! Friday, the CSEA union I am in is having their holiday party at a local restaurant and it is free food and drinks!! Seeing I pay about $36 from my pay a month in dues, I think its worth it!


Last night, this fabulous show was on NBC. Its a week long show, The Sing Off! Its a couple of singing acapella groups!! They were pretty phenomneal, so from 8p-10p tonight and the rest of the week you best check it out!!
