Together Again:)

Ok, so normally, I don't get all into celebrity couples. I pretty much think that they all will end at a moments notice, and half of it just seems false regardless. Having said that, for some reason, I LOVE these two together. Just seems genuine (which it might not be). They are one of those couples that I see and think "I want that!" Glad to see them back together...

Duffy -My Heroine

This woman is INCREDIBLE. She has a sultry, blues-inspired, longing to her voice, which can only be construed as genuine. Something about her music is comfortable, safe and true. Different from most of the unoriginal noise that is floating through our airwaves anymore...different because it is actually true talent. I can't construct a summary of praise that comes close to being worthy. Duffy justifies everything that music should be. Enough said.

Cream Cheese Penguins

Directions

1. Cut a slit from top to bottom, lengthwise, into the side of each jumbo olive. Carefully insert about 1 teaspoon of cream cheese into each olive. Slice the carrot into eighteen 1/4 inch thick rounds; cut a small notch out of each carrot slice to form feet. Save the cut out piece and press into the center of small olive to form the beak. If necessary cut a small slit into each olive before inserting the beak.

2. Set a big olive, large hole side down, onto a carrot slice. Then, set a small olive into the large olive, adjusting so that the beak, cream cheese chest and notch in the carrot slice line up. Secure with toothpick. 

Max is 2!!

One of my good friends, Kristen (love her), has a son, Max (love him), and he had his 2nd birthday this past Saturday!! The theme was "Blue's Clues" (as you will see below). He is so adorable!

I got to do some face painting...

I had so much fun capturing these moments!! Thank you Kristen and Max for being so wonderful (and photogenic, ha!).

The Half-Blood Prince

It is coming soon!!!

Gossip Girl Is Near

I can't wait!!

Midnight Sun Soon to Follow!

Stephanie Meyer has agreed to release Midnight Sun the summer of 2009!!! The story continues (well on some level)!!!!

We always need a little male perspective...wouldn't you agree?

All good things must come to an end...

So I finished this book a few days after I waited in line (That's right, with tons of screaming tween girls. You would have thought that Meyer was there signing, but no, this was just to pick up a copy of the highly anticipated final book...pretty impressive if you ask me.) at midnight on Friday August 2nd. I have been finished, and yet unable to blog about it. I, of course, loved this book. I knew I would. My only complaint? It was rather lengthy with several "endings", but is that really a complaint? I think not. If you have not indulged in this series, please partake.
