Ides Of March

I'm wanting to go see this movie but haven't heard reviews from too many people. It was filmed in my hometown of Cincinnati (and some scenes at my alma mater, Miami U!) which makes it even more interesting! How bad can a movie be with Clooney and Gosling?

'You's'

Anyone catch crazypants on the RHONJ reunion? She is seriously off her rocker. It's clear that everyone sees through her BS now and Teresa no-likey.

There are so many reasons she bothers me, but number 1 has to be her absolutely atrocious grammar. How many times on Sunday did she refer to a group of people as "you's"? What is that about? Is it proper English and I'm not aware? Unfortunately, I don't think Teresa has any idea how ignorant she comes across. Points for Team Gorga/Manzo/Laurita.

Giuliana

I was going to write about the RHONJ reunion this morning.

But as I'm getting ready for work I hear "Reality TV couple who struggled with infertility to make big announcement." I KNEW it was going to be Giuliana and Bill. Finally their time had come and she is pregnant.

Not the case.

Instead, Giuliana came on to announce that she has breast cancer (early stages).

At their last IVF appointment, the Dr. insisted on her getting a mammogram, which she initially fought, as she has no family history. The results came back and were obviously not good. In true G & B spirit they continue to have an optimistic outlook and still plan on trying again in the future for a baby.

Just shocking news. Certainly puts things into perspective.

Speedy Delivery

So, the doorbell rang early this morning, as I was getting ready for work and I was thoroughly confused. Why would someone be at the door at 8am?

After a few minutes, I checked outside and found a package. I figured it was a book or movie Mark had ordered from Amazon. Then I saw the words SAKS DIRECT! Immediately, I thought, Wow! What a great husband I have, acting like he doesn't know what this is and all along he had ordered me a special surprise.....

I ripped into the package, really excited to see what it was Mark had gotten me.

And saw this:

Um.

I tried to find a packing slip to figure out who's misplaced order we'd received and there I saw it. Ordered from my mom for Mark. What! I am now playing second fiddle to my husband.

Clearly, a great start to Mark's weekend!

My parents will be arriving today and I can't wait for some R & R.

Happy weekend!

WILW- Halloween Edition



via

We have had some amazing weather the last few days and I am loving every second of it!

Some of our neighbors have the coolest sparkly/light up pumpkins and I am determined to get some for Halloween. I LOVE trick or treaters! Handing out candy is my favorite. Cooper, on the other hand, not so fond of them.

I will be spray painting pumpkins.

I had some beautiful mums that I bought at Lowe's a few weeks ago. These would have looked great for Halloween. But no, they are all dead. I really should just stay away from all plant life.

The most important aspect of Halloween- candy. Duh.

THE Dress

Kate Middleton's wedding dress, on display at Buckingham Palace has seen a record number of visitors- over 600,000. That's pretty remarkable.

The Middleton sisters have the best hair! I need to know their secret(s).

Did anyone catch on RHOBH last night that Lisa, "Just had lunch with the Duchess of York yesterday"?

Gym Woes

Well, well. Look who's on the cover of this month's Shape magazine.

I thought I'd read the article as I pedaled away and see if she had anything new and interesting to say. Nope. Same old, "I'm too nice", "No, I'm not crazy. It's everyone else", "Bethenny is so mean." Blah, blah, blah.

My workouts vary from morning to evening time depending on my schedule for the week. I went to the gym on Monday evening and did 45 minutes on the elliptical and 20 minutes on the treadmill with no problem! When I hopped on this morning I thought I was going to pass out. Literally, I did 20 minutes and had to move on to the bike instead and then the treadmill.

I totally look like this every morning

Also, is that not the craziest elliptical contraption ever?

Have you all found that the time of day affects your performance at the gym? Any tips for how to get energized in the morning?

I love getting my workout finished before I even start my day! It just feels so good to know I can come home after work and just veg.
