yes, I googled...

I watched Confessions of a Shopaholic over the weekend and I thought it was really a fun, cute movie. One of the funniest parts to me was when Rebecca started working as a financial journalist and googles exactly what her boss asked her to write about...I also do this on a pretty regular basis...not because I have no idea what I'm looking for...but because I want to see whats out there or confirm an answer that I'm pretty sure about...so yes, I google...but I'm pretty sure everyone else does too!

next movies on the queue..."W" and "Revolutionary Road"

let's go roddick!

i do love andy...but i'm also cheering for him because I'd like pete sampras to be tied for the most championships for a little longer...pete will always be my favorite player!!

all the small stuff giveaway!

it seems like there are a lot of bloggers who are reaching their 100th post and celebrating with some really great summer giveaways! here is another one on all the small stuff! i think the lilly journal is my favorite...but everything else is pretty great too!

bitter is the new black

I recently realized that I haven't been reading nearly as much as I used to...I get sucked into reality TV and I can't pull myself away or turn it off...the last book I read was Breaking Dawn and it took me months to finish it...

so one of my goals for the summer is to catch up on the books that I've been wanting to read...and alternating between summer beach reads and some with a little more substance...

first up...bitter is the new black by jen lancaster...it's hard for me to pass up any book about a former sorority girl! I'll let you know how it goes!
