Seen It, Heard It, Read It

Seen It

1. Ocean's Eleven

Last weekend my mom was out of town and so this was Dad's movie choice. It's one of those great old reliable movies. Great cast and a great combo of action and humor.

2. Ocean's Twelve

Of course, you can't watch Ocean's Eleven without watching Ocean's Twelve. For some reason we don't have Ocean's Thirteen, but if we did, it would be on this list.

3. Giuliana & Bill: Season One

After my surgery last Monday I needed something relaxing and easy to watch. I was SO excited when I found out Season One was on instant Netflix! I just wish they had more seasons up! This is one of the top reasons I miss having cable.

4. Hairspray

The parents had a date Friday night, so Heather and I had a relaxing night at home. She was in a musical mood and this is one of her favorites. I love to sing along. It has a fabulous cast and soundtrack!

5. Paper Clips

This was an interesting documentary. For some reason it was in my instant Netflix queue. I think I had been searching for documentaries and thought it sounded interesting. I'm not a fan of how the documentary was put together, but it was a great story. Heather decided that she wants to stop in Whitwell, Tennessee if we roadtrip back across country with Jenny in September.

Heard It

I never know what to say about the music in the "Heard It" section. You kind of just have to listen for yourself.

1. Brooke White: High Hopes & Heartbreak

Check out Brooke's BLOG HERE.

2. Florence and The Machine: Lungs

I love the passion you can hear in this album. It's a unique and gorgeous sound!

3. Justin Bieber: My World 2.0

Baby baby baby ohhhhh

4. Miley Cyrus: Can't Be Tamed

Love this one! It's so fun and you can't beat her cover of Every Rose! Haha

Read It

1. Matt Pipkin's Blog

This guy has an amazing story to share. I've been following him on twitter for a while but recently started reading his blog. He founded a non-profit Committ65 last year and will be attempting to fly an airplane for at least 65 straight days to bring awareness to childhood sexual abuse.

2. Mollie in Seattle

I found Mollie's blog after I started following her on twitter last week. She blogs about a little bit of everything AND she's from Seattle which just makes her even better.

3. Priceless by Nicole Richie

This was one of the ebooks I bought with a Barnes and Noble gift card I got for Christmas. It's a cute story about a rich girl discovering what's most important in life. I love how Nicole integrated fashion into her story. I wish I had half of Charlotte's wardrobe. It was a fast and fun read!

5 Things I Love

1. Kourtney & Khloe Take Miami: I never watched Keeping Up With the Kardashians until this summer. When I found out about this spin-off I was really excited. These girls are hilarious! I'm sad the finale was Sunday but I can't wait for Khloe's wedding special November 8th!

2. Barcelona Absolutes: This is one of my favorite cds. As I've said before, these guys are AMAZING! If you get the chance, go to one of their shows! They know how to rock it! I hope they'll be playing a show down here before I move or that they'll be playing in Boise after I move home! Love 'em!

3. In-n-Out: This is one thing I'm going to miss like crazy!!! After moving down here I learned about the secret menu. The Barcelona boys told us to order a Flying Dutchman once. They wouldn't tell us what it was (and I won't tell you). You have to experience it for yourself. My typical order is a #2 with the burger & fries BOTH animal style and a Coke! Love!

4. Giuliana & Bill: Don't ask me how I got hooked on this show. I just know I did and I'm OBSESSED! Giuliana is hilarious and beautiful and Bill is a great down-to-earth guy who balances her perfectly. The season finale was Wednesday and I can't wait for season 2 in January!

5. My tattoos: I got my first tattoo in May 2008. My friends Aimee and Megan came with me for moral support. It's a combination of Brett Dennen's song Make the Most and Kurt Halsey's artistic style. It's a reminder to make the most of this life because "it moves so fast, there's no time for perfection." I got my second tattoo with Heather and Jenny in January this year. We all got the same one. It is also inspired by Kurt Halsey's art. The two blue stars represent Heather and Jenny. This past year and a half has been full of crazy adventures and it's a reminder to live life to the fullest.
