- CAhusband and I started watching Mad Men this week! We borrowed Season 1 from my parents, and already have Season 2 on the way from Netflix. So far it seems a little slow, but I've been warned of this! I figure anything that has been nominated for so many awards and has received so much hype must be good! We're both looking forward to a relaxing weekend at home this weekend after our really busy last month, so I'm sure we'll watch tons of it. One things for sure, we won't be laying in the sun, although CAhusband has decided 110+ can't scare him away from his golf game!
- I'm finally going to be able to get into my classroom again today! I haven't been to school in almost a month, and the looming deadline of school starting after Labor Day is sneaking up on me. I have a HUGE list of things I originally wanted accomplished before July 1st, but with picking up a nanny job Mon-Thurs, and leaving every weekend, I haven't even unpacked my boxes yet!
- I have yet to see even one of the movies on my summer must-see list! Since we're home this weekend, I've finally convinced my movie-theater-hater husband to see a movie with me! Due to the fact that I was able to actually get him to go, I vowed to let him choose the flick... his current choice is Despicable Me. Has anyone seen this? What did you think?
- On another movie note, I really want to see The Kids are Alright. I saw a review on the news this morning, and he said it was this year's Little Miss Sunshine, which is one of my all-time favorite movies! They also mentioned that this movie was already getting some Oscar buzz! I'm definitely adding this movie to my list, but am doubtful CAhusband will see this one with me! Have you heard about this movie? Doesn't it sound great?
- I am super excited to hear that Sophie Kinsella is releasing another Shopaholic book!! Mini Shopaholic is set to release in September, which means I need to finish the last two books in the series that I haven't read yet! Do you like the Shopaholic books? I originally didn't want to read them, but was convinced, and love how easy they are to read. They're pretty silly and are just the non-serious escape I need sometimes!
Well, that was a random post if there ever was one...
Have a great weekend everyone!

I love the Shopaholic series and have been counting down until the next one comes out! And I too have been wanting to see The Kids Are All Right- you will have to let us know how it is if you see it
LOVE the shopaholic books! Have a great weekend!
YAY! I love shopaholic!!! And, Mad Men was a little slow for me too...I never really got into it, but I think I'm going to try again for season 4! Happy weekend :)
my nephew saw despicable me and LOVED it. I kind of want to see it too! Oh and I saw the J.Crew jegging at work yesterday too. It kind of scares me, it looks REALLY slim in the calf/ankles. I will give it a try though :)
I took my cousins to see Despicable Me and I actually enjoyed it alot! There are some very touching moments in the film and I would say it was worth the moola. Toy Story 3 was even more adorable, though.
I am glad to hear that The Kids Are Alright is getting good reviews. I was curious about it, but now I will for sure go see it. I love Little Miss Sunshine, one of my all time favs too!
I tried Mad Men but I couldn't get into it. I was bored.
I really want to see The Kids Are Alright - it looks great. Unfortunately, I can't find a theater near me that is playing it. I'm hoping that as it gains more Oscar buzz they'll release it more widely.
I didn't know about the new Shopaholic book - yay! You're right, they are a fun, easy read.
Have a great weekend!
Well, I think all you girls are maybe just too young to enjoy Mad Men. I grew up in the 60's and I think I watch it just to go,"oh, wow, remember when all our dad's wore those hats!" It's like watching home movies. Movie-wise, can't wait till next weekend for "Dinner for Schmucks!"
Despicable Me is surprisingly a really cute me. Even better than what you see in the previews.
I've heard a lot of good things about The Kids are Alright. But I've just seen so many previews it, that I'm already kind of over it.
And I can't wait till the newest shopaholic book comes out. I've read all of them, and I can't wait to read the new one too!
I LOVE Mad Men!!! Dylan and I are hooked. How can you not love Don Draper???? I tried to get my sister into it and she wasn't a fan. It a different kind of television. Its not a HBO, Showtime or even ABC kinda show so I think some people have trouble with it. I think it is very well written. Stick with it.
So cute, I haven't read the Mini Shopaholic yet! And Mad Men is one of my favorites... I think you just have to appreciate it for what it is. It's not suspenseful or extremely dramatic, but the acting is good and it's well done in terms of filming and dialogue, which is why it has won so many awards. After a while I think you just stick with it because you grow into the characters and the ambiance of the show. Season 3 was really good!
Have you read the Undomestic Goddess? That is also by Sophie Kinsella and I loved it!
Hi! I stumbled across your cute blog today through Babbling Abby's teacher week links. I'm a kindergarten teacher/newlywed in NC. I just read the entire Shopaholic series this summer and couldn't.get.enough!! Thanks so much for the heads-up about the new book! :)
