#24 - Miss Congeniality

This is such a girly movie. Makes me wish I had a team of trained professionals, at my disposal, to help me glam up sometimes.

Although the whole movie is fun, my favorite part is at the end. Gracie figures out that the bomb is in the crown and chaos ensues. Every time I watch this movie, I end up laughing out loud.

Side note - My plan was to walk on the treadmill while I watched this movie. Total Fail!! I only made it a mile and a half before I quit. My sneaker was rubbing my ankle and starting to give me a blister. So maybe I just get an "A" for a good idea, but not for the effort?

#22 and #23




This weekend I watched HSM2 & HSM3. It is important to note that I am loyal to characters I like. So even though HSM2 is very silly (corny) and mostly ridiculous, I love it anyway.

I watched both movies and at the end of each, I went back and watched all the songs again. I love the music! I have a hard time picking my favorite songs, but some of my favorites can be found here, here and here.

#21 - The Island

What a fun, fast-paced sci-fi movie.

I have two favorite quotes -

Construction Worker: [after Lincoln and Jordan had fallen from the building, he grabs Lincoln] "Jesus must love you! [then as he is helping Jordan] "I *know* Jesus loves you!"

McCord: "Just cause people wanna eat the burger doesn't mean they wanna meet the cow. "

I like it so much that I might want to watch it again this year :)

A new year...

So, January 2012 has come and gone and although I'm not sure why, I made the goal of "no soda" again for the beginning of the year.

I always get to the point where I realize that I don't drink enough water and I can't seem to wait for my next sip of pop. I know (seriously, I know) that it isn't good for me, but I love the taste and I love the way the carbonation feels, kinda scratches my throat.

So just to report on my first goal of 2012 - I made it 30 days with no soda. The first week was almost unbearable. The second a little easier, and then the last two weeks I spent looking forward to my birthday. I kept thinking this, "just think Kristine, your birthday is only a few days away. You will be sitting at Five Guys, eating an amazing burger and drinking as much Coke as you want."

I love when dreams come true. (I know, I'm pretty simple.) The burger was amazing, as was the company. The soda was great, except maybe not as extraordinary as I built it up to be. Also during the day, I managed to stop at Baskin Robbins twice and I got a pedicure. This year started with a bang. Hope it continues on this good note.

#17, #18, #19 & #20



Last weekend, I got to go on an amazing birthday trip with one of my favorite friends. We escaped the the frigid north east and made our way to sunny Fort Lauderdale, Florida. I was so happy to be in a beautiful hotel right next to the beach and the weekend was everything I wanted it to be. We enjoyed enough sun filled hours to get a sunburn and we ate some amazing cheesy grits.

As an extra bonus to all of that fun - we watched the first four Harry Potter movies. I love reading the books and the movies are so brilliant, the characters are like old friends. I'm excited for the next long weekend when I have the chance to watch the final four movies of the series. Want to watch them with me?
