Twilight Marathon

Milk Duds, Peanut Butter M&M's, Whoppers,
Mike and Ike's, Sour Skittles, Jolly rancher's Gummies
Pretzel M&M's, BBQ Pringles, Pizza Pringles,
Movie Theater Butter Popcorn,  and White Cheddar
Popcorn "dust".

One of the big things Emmy and I did while she was here with me in June was a movie day. And not just ANY movie day. A Twilight Saga Marathon day!

We went to visit Granny early that morning because we both needed to see her and I had to take her some scones. (I had scones coming out my ears!) But after our visit we went back to my house, grabbed those boxes of candy and snuggled in for the long haul.

We closed the drapes, cut off all the lights, grabbed our respective spots (me on the love seat, Emmy on the recliner) and giggled over how pasty and dumb Edward is and how amazing and hawt Jacob is. (We're both team Jacob all the way.)

We ate strictly candy during the first one. Then we took a lunch break and ate pizza. We popped popcorn for New Moon and cracked open the pringles and finished the candy during Eclipse. The only thing we never got around to was the ice cream I'd bought. (not pictured.) Which worked out well enough, though. We ate that when she came over Wednesday night. Vanilla Bean ice cream with chocolate syrup, whipped cream and some cherries on top. YUM.

Sadly, I didn't take any pictures during the marathon. There could have been some good shots of Emmy being silly and she and the Devil Pup cuddled up together. But I'd left my camera in my bag all the way in the mudroom and was too lazy didn't want to disturb the girls to go get it.

Needless to say I, err, gained a few pounds while I was off that week. ;-)

Awesome! Occasional splurges like that are well worth it!

I think she enjoyed that better than she did painting pottery at the pottery studio. Her mama rarely ever lets her eat junk food, either, so all that junk was a real treat--to both of us! :)

Hehe...we did this back in December, the day the third movie came out. Kim stayed up until midnight to buy the movie (she figured she had a better chance of still being up late, than getting up early). Glad Emmy enjoyed your movie marathon!

Sometimes my daughter and I will have girl nights, where we soak our feet, watch terrible girl movies and eat junk food. It's awesome!

I'm Lost

Boy.  Last night was the most intense 2.5 hours of my LIFE. Well, the part of my life that I relegate to television viewing, anyway. Last night, as you may have heard, was THE END for LOST. If you haven't been watching it for the past six years, what were you doing with your life? LOL No, I know. It was one of those things you were either fully emersed in or you didn't want to expend the energy it took to follow it. Because it did take a lot of energy to follow it. And as much as I was held captivated by it, I am really too stupid to really full grasp it. No, seriously. I've read the discussion boards. I've followed other blogs about it. And I'd always be like, "Why didn't I catch that?" or "I completly missed that." My brain is merely too simple to comprehend all the little mysteries and tie-ins and connections that were hidden throughout six seasons of this show. It was no different last night. Honestly, the finale was gripping an...

Me and the boob tube

Ever met someone who is passionate about her TV shows? Well, if not, you have now. Yeah, I'm probably fairly sad with how involved I become with some shows but believe me...I know some folks who are a LOT worse than me. Just trust me on this. I have maybe a handful of shows that I watch without fail whenever they're on and set my VCR to tape if I'm out. (Yeah, I still have a VCR...and I will until they no longer make 'em) Monday night is Medium night. Tuesday night is BB6 in the summer Charmed on TNT in fall. Wednesday is Lost and Alias (in regular season anyway) Thursday night is BB6 in summer and Will and Grace in fall. Friday night sucks since they cancelled Joan of Arcadia. Saturday night is BB6 in summer and Trading Spaces. Sunday night is Desperate Housewives and The 4400 in summer. Everyday things are Gilmore Girls on ABC Family, 30 Minute Meals on Food Network and Bold and the Beautiful. Last night, of course, was BB6. Now, I'm not one to enjoy many reality ...

Ten Things That Make Me Happy Today

Image
1.) Chuck . Chuck makes me very happy. I'm still flying high from the time I spent with him last night. Seriously, it's like the second Zachary Levi walks on screen and gives that trademark smile my heart goes all gooey in my chest and my lips curve up all dreamy smile-ish and for that one hour each Monday night I'm on cloud nine. Pitiful, no? 2.) Her. 'Nuff said. 3.) My friends. All of 'em. Ms. B who I only get to see once a month and chat on the phone every few weeks. E who talks me into field trips to Starbucks so that we can blame each other for being bad. Trix who hated the way Medium ended, too. (And always sends me the awesomest handmade cards.) BFF who calls once a month to update me on the ever shifting drama of her life. (She's doing much better, by the way. Goes back to work next week.) Jen who  once--in a round about way--compared me to the awesome Pioneer Woman. (And who's love story to her fireman still gives me hope that true love real...
