Song Obsessed {little to much}


lately, i have been noticing how songs playing in the back of movie trailers just pop out at me. songs that i would never had notice unless it wasn't for the trailer. with that said, the trailer for the above pictured soon to be movie something borrowed has been playing a lot on the hospital tv's we have in all the hallways. and the song played at the end of the trailer became and insane fave. to see the trailer go here

the song is called little to much by natasha bedingfield and i became so in love with it. so in love that it's been my driving jam, walking jam and all others "jams" to listen to. it just puts a little pop in my own step as i walk down a street or in a store. i'm also thinking about buying the book to read on the plane. anywho can't wait for the movie and i hope you like the song. toootles!!!

don't let it be forgot {camelot}



dont let it be forgot, that once there was a spot. for one, brief shinning moment, that was known, as camelot.

tonight, i just finished balling my eyes out. why? you may ask... well jeepers, ever since i was wee wee little thang{seriously people} i was nosy. who me? nosy?....NO WAY! yes dear readers it's true. and with my ever always present skill for being all- things- nosy.....i was into everything. my grandmother if she were still alive would probably want to switch my legs again for my many shortcomings of snooping. anywho.....i can recall finding all my grandmothers old newspapers from when president kennedy was shot. i thought they were so cool. not in the "he was shot" way but be cause they were history. i felt like my family had something very special that know one in the world had. something in me just sparked for the kennedy family and the older  i got the more it came. i have tons of books on jack and jackie. i've studied his politics and watched every documentary there was. SOOOOO with last years announcement of the 8 part mini series on the kennedys...i was like BRING IT! i was soooo pumped. i love history and i love history when it hits close to home. as i'm typing this i just do not think i can convey enough for my deep fascination with the kennedys or jackie and her life after president kennedy was shot. some of you might not even care. and that's okay.

as it was ending tonight with the last episode with the scenes on the assassination and then bobby kennedys assassination... i cried like there was no tomorrow. as if i was there when all this took place. my heart was broken for what would never be. regardless of what you feel for this family or president kennedy as a man, he was a d*** good president. his brother bobby was my type of a man. and bobby would have been an even better president had he not have been shot in 1969.
i look at this nation now and tonight my aunt and i discussed how they might have handle the things that are going on right now. what would they have said? done? i feel like president kennedy had a true love for this nation and  his brother did as well. they were men who waded that love to make sure they covered every option before leaping when crises arise. now we have a stand where it's all for show. "change"....well, all the change we have had has been for show. i want a man as my next president who knows his country. who knows his fellow man. and so tonight i cried my eyes out for a past generation that had something special.

as my favorite poem up at the top says....
dont let it be forgot, that once their was a spot. for one brief shinning moment, that was known as camelot.

I HIGHLY recommend you watch this mini series. it was incredible the way the actors looked and sounded like the true persons they were portraying. it shed deep insight into this dynamic family.

Oh Rob, I'm coming to Thee {New York New York}



okay. the title above is totally cheesy right? but at the moment, that's all i got. for the last 48 hours i have been on a roller coaster of emotions but with all that, all that needs to be said is that once again i will hit the traveling road {or in my case the sky waves}. for months now i have known about a dear friend getting the chance of a lifetime opportunity to go to new york city for a certain movie premiere. i posted about water for elephants here. she will be on the red carpet when the stars arrive in the fan section and on into the theater to watch the movie. to say i was jealous doesn't cut it. lonnnnng story short, Wednesday night she talked me into going with her and just splurging on the plane ticket / hotel fee and going for it. so, this morning i threw caution to the wind and just bought my ticket. *snap* just like that i'm going to new york city for 5 days to be on that red carpet with her. so dear rob. yes, that's right Mr. Robert Pattinson, i will be coming to see thee! i make no promises to act like the adult i am known to be. oh and reese dear, i can't wait to see you either! were both from Tennessee and i'm sure will become bffs and beyond. giggles! we will be staying at the Hilton new york and it's right across from the theater where the movie premiere will be held.


this will be my second trip to new york, so thankfully i have already seen all the big attractions. this time, i can just soak everything in without thinking i will be missing something. we leave in two weeks. now i've got to go figure out what to wear?

ps. this is defiantly NOT an april fools joke. my checking/savings account can testify to that!

this past week i saw the new movie I am number Four. now, i'm not about to get all fangirl on you and tell you how awesome the book/movie was because a. i didnt read the book {going too} and b. i don't like to give book or movie reviews. i like what i like and thats that. all i will say is that i always new i had some love in me somewhere for sci-fi/ semi love story/ action story movies....does this make me a nerd? whatever. anywho i am now in love with this new guy. alex pettyfer. love him. love. him. love him. not to mention but i'm seriously thinking of putting his picture up on my back bedroom door {sorta like i'm a in the closet fan girl/act like i'm 13teen freak LOL}








 anywho saw the movie twice. reaalllly good. not to mention but alex pettyfer has another movie coming out THIS week called Beastly that me and  my girlfriends are eargerly awaiting {even though i don't really care for the high school musical, sappy drama queen actress}. but now I did read that book....

....I love {Him. as in Robert Pattinson. as in Can't WAIT for his new Movie!}


i'm reading the book. i'm counting down the days. and i'm falling in love with this whole new character. tonight, when i was going through what i posted this same time last year on this day {found HeRe}i realized it was about the Twilight saga {mad love for it} New Moon party night. so i thought how fitting for me to post on this same day like i did last year about Rob and his new film coming out in april. if you haven't heard/seen/read anything about this annnnnnd that it has my favorite female lead actress Reece Witherspoon {what more do you need?} then watch the trailer below. it's beautiful. simply breathtaking. and parts of it was filmed in areas near me. it has that whole notebook, forbidden love, 1940's50's feel with flashbacks...
and  i. simply. can't. wait!

To Live in that Era....



This suddenly jumped into my shopping cart tonight at Target.
Hmmm...I wonder who would have done that? Oh well. I love them for it anyway.
Have you seen it yet? No? Well you should. So says little ol' me. It's not only sweet but it's beautiful to watch. The costumes. The Palaces. I would give anything to speak with a British accent. Sigh.
Tonight, I'm off to clean my kitchen and then retire with this. Thanks again to whom ever it was that placed this in my shopping cart. XOXOXO

Pretty Darn Exciting


I'm pretty darn excited! Why am I pretty darn excited? Cause I'm pretty darn excited over this.
The Time Travelers Wife comes out in 9 days. That's PRETTY DARN EXCITING if you ask me!
Oh, wait...You didn't? Well...you should. Because...it's pretty darn exciting.

I read the book a few months back and while I'm not going to go through a review
{cause I hate giving book reviews}



I shall say this...email me, and I'll fill ya in on what you might need to know.
Anywhos, this book made me think about things.
Things about Time. And the time you have with the ones you love.
About life, and what would you do if you could be in the future or relive your past?
Would you do it? Would you stop it? But, what if you can't stop it?

Do you see what I mean? Thought provoking i tell ya...Thought provoking.
Oh yeah and...it's a love story.
Go figure.
A tear jerker at that too.

So, when you hit the theater and don't like it.
Don't blame me. AND don't tell me.
I have yet to see the movie SO don't get all holy roller on me if Hollywood goes "racy" on us.
But for now...I"M PRETTY DARN EXCITED.
Watch the trailer.
That is all.

Movie Obsession

Tonight I am slightly....
....Slightly starting to panic. Carrie's Bridal shower is this Saturday and I only have two days left to pull this all together. As stated before, I am a HUGE detail person. I will worry and fuss with the smallest detail to the max. So, This will be my last post for the week & weekend. But, I wanted to leave you with alittle something. Afterall, I'm giving out favors at the shower so consider this your "blogging favor" while I dive into the weekend.
Take a look at a couple of movie trailers that have me OBSESSING over them. As in, I've wachted them both dozens and dozens of times.

#1st up is "The Time Travelers Wife"
It looks STUNNING to my sappy romance chick flick soul. And I cannot wait till August 14th! Now, i havent read the book but just as soon as the shower is over, I have a date to read the Time Travelers Wife. For a full "recap" on this movie, watch the tralier and then check out the website
Click me---> "The Time Travelers Wife Movie"



And then of course there is this little thing you might have heard...
New Moon anyone?
Enough Said. Okay tottally Team EDWARd but...yes, even I admit this, I'm excited to see Taylor/Jacob get his shinning moment. But, the night this comes out...
I'll be 100% rockin my TEAM EDWARD shirt.
Take That.

PS. Notice the New Poll ---> I'm so curious on this one so VOTE!

Carrie is Wise & Bridal Shower "Taste"

Today, I had the lovely pleasure of spending the afternoon with two of my favorite people.
One of them is sweet sixteen.
The other...She's the Elegant bride to be.
Hailey & Carrie.
My cousins.
It was a charming afternoon.
Talk of wedding and bridal showers plans.
Family Gossip.
Lunch.

Followed by a HILARIOUS movie, the Proposal. I HIGHLY enjoyed it and recommend it if you need a laugh. LOTS of it. Not to mention but lookin at the Reynold guy was umm..pretty dang nice too. Wink!

But, that's not what this post is about.
As your probably looking at the pictures first, I'll go ahead and give you a taste--I love that word-- of what Carries Bridal shower will look like. The top photo of Carrie is the one I put in all the invitations that went out for the bridal shower.
It was taken when they had their engagement session and the photographer did some fabulous shots of them alone. So, when I saw this one of Carrie...Well, I just couldn't resist not letting the world see it too.
The remain three are my small sneak peek pictures of my color scheme/design for the Bridal shower.
I've ordered lime green spider mums.
With accents of hot pink polka dot ribbon, Along with large tall vases filled with green limes.
As for the rest, all shall be revealed after the 27th!
I am one for details. Details to the extreme and I'm determined to make this as nice as I can for Carrie.
Now, scroll down for the "reason" for this post!





Tonight, as we were in the car, I was talking to Carrie about life decisions. Your dreams and plans. For me, at 23 years old the major events are starting to come up in ones life. The big one, like marriage and children----NO I NOT ENGAGED---And in one small sentence as we were driving along, Carrie says this statement I know I must have heard a thousand times but it just never really sunk in until to night.

She said "It's never going to be the right moment"
In other words you cant just sit along and wait for things to happen. Not, that I have been sitting along but I have not gone out and made things happen either. And I was saying "Well, its just never been the right moment." To which she said again "When is it ever really the right moment?" And WHAM...a light bulb came on and I thought...Wise...Carrie is wise. Make those moments. MAKE THOSE MOMENTS. Tonight she taught me a lesson about prayer too. Our Heavenly Father already knows our hearts and desires. Pray for things. Don't just think that its being self observant to ask. Let him "hear" from you as a son/daughter of God your hearts desires. Make it that moment. Say things in that moment. For you'll end of "waiting for the right moment" when you could move and act on the moment.

Wise. Carrie is Wise.

Golden Globes 2 cents

I must first state that I didnt watch the Golden Globes. Honestly I rarely watch the award shows of anything. But, I ALWAYS look at the fashion for the ladies and find out who won the biggie awards. So the day after the golden globes I had my TV on and heard a small buzz about Leo and Kate. Remember back in the day when Titanic came out and everyone and their mother, cousin, neice, teacher, friend had seen it like a thousand times???? Well, I was the one in 6th grade who hadnt seen it yet and I can remember perfectly well that I was the last one to see it in my entire class. Mother dearest refused to let me see it without her parental guidence. A.K.A Held her hands over her daughters eyes over the famous nude scene. Anywazzzzyyys I remember already being kinda in puppy love with Leo because I had fallen in love with the new version Romeo & Juliet {still LOVE it to this day} Okay, Tierra get to the point -----> I absolutely ADORE Kate Winslet. I don't think there has been a single gown that she has worn on the award shows through the years that I didn't love. She's Simple, timeless, and classic. Very Jackie-O in my book. First, I love the fact that Leo and Kate came together for the Golden Globes. And when I found out that they had reunited and made a new movie together...Inside I squealed with delight. I'm sure you all know what I'm talking about when I say there's just certain actors and actresses in our minds that will forever stay together. That they just Click.
To name a few....John Travolta and Kirstie Ally, Julia Roberts & Richard Gear, Doris Day & Rock Hudson, Tom Hanks & Meg Ryan, Leo & Kate! I could gooooo on but theres just certain movies that you watch and you can feel the chemistry between them. They play it out so well you actually believe the story and when that happens....AwwWww it's so bittersweet movie magic.

Favorite Dresses for Golden Globes 2009





Did anyone see the heartfelt acceptance speech Kate gave for the award for Best Actress?
Well, I youtubed it and you must watch it. I insist. Over the years Kate has never won an award and though I have seen neither movies for the awards she won them for, I adore her even more for her gracious and truly humble acceptance. Watch all of this because it's truly very sweet and touching but when you get to the 4:05 time part listen carefully and just try and tell me you didn't get a little tearie eyed at the bid to Leo.
