BEWITCHED

I saw Bewitched last night with Alyssa, Abra and Lisa. Cute movie! I was pleasantly surprised at how fun and cute it was. Will Farrell was great and Nicole Kidman had a great comedic role. I definitely recommend seeing it. And...that's my movie review for the day. I wish I had something more exciting to write about, but it's only 8:50am...what do you want from me?

The majority of you who read this are about to be very shocked.

I spent all Tuesday with a child. Yes, you read right. I spent my entire Tuesday in Early, Texas with my cousin Jody, her husband Casey and their son Camden. Now, for those of you who know me well, you know that children are not my forte. But, let me go on record for saying that Camden Micheal Dacus is PRECIOUS! He is absolutely my favorite kid in the whole wide world! He had his first b-day in May, which I was unable to attend, so cousin Jenni(I'm referring to myself in the third person) took him his birthday presents. He got two shirts, swim trunks, his first swimming pool, and a learning toy named "Juniper Giraffe." The Giraffe was a big hit...and I know he'll love his pool once they move into their new house. Anyway...this entry was basically so I could show off his cute little smile in the pics I got developed yesterday. The one on the left is Camden with his mom and the one on the right is Camden with my brother, Spencer, at our cousin Micheal's wedding. Too cute!!!!

SEX AND THE CITY....IN ABILENE?

There were seven girls at my house last night...me, Abra, Alyssa and our new pals Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte, and Samantha. It was kind of an "old fashion movie night" meets "girls night," complete with Ben & Jerry's, girl talk, and a lot of bottled water. Abra and Alyssa are from ACU and are spending their summer in Abilene. Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte and Samantha came all the way from New York. I've known these four girls from Manhattan for quite some time now. However, Abra and Alyssa are fairly new to the Sex and the City "experience."
Many of you are aware that the cable channel TBS is showing re-runs of S&C, and for those of you who have found a new interest in the sit-com, let it be known that the HBO version is quite different from the edited version on TBS. As I watched season three last night, I realized that I had forgotten how explicit these "fab four" women could be...or, was I just aware of it because I had guests in my home watching with me? Whatever the reason, for those of you who are a new fan of TBS Sex and the City...I'll warn you now... HBO/DVD is, well, different.

I've stolen this list from Kim Smith. I love random surveys, and this list allowed me to find out a few random facts about Kim...so, I decided to fill it out for myself and maybe share a few random facts of my own.

If you've made it this far...you deserve a prize. Way to go! Remind me that I owe you a prize!

So, I went to see The Perfect Man the other night. Cute movie. I'd recommend it to any "romantic comedy" lover out there. It was actually refreshing to see a movie with no cussing and no sex. With a PG rating, I'd say it's safe for just about anyone...well, any girl that is...not sure too many guys would be interested. And, that's my movie critique for the day. I went with my pal Lisa...whom I actually enjoy seeing movies with. She doesn't talk during the whole movie and we usually laugh at the same parts. After the movie, we went on a sinful binge and by sinful binge I mean dinner at Coldstone. Fun times on a week night.

So, I have officially fallen victim to the pressure of having a blog. It seems that everyone is doing it. Therefore, as my first entry, I'd like to give a shout out to those who have inspired me. The blogs that I keep up with the most are my pals Kim Smith and Jennifer Walker. I take a look at a few others, but Kim's and Walker's are my favorite. I can only hope to live up to their blogging standards.
