Birthday Weekend

CarrieLeave a comment

Well I must admit that turning 28 was a blast. Last night I went out with a girlfriend to Fuze for dinner. If you are ever in Avalon, it’s a great place to go for some contemporary American cuisine with Asian flare. Then we joined our friends at Fred’s Tavern, our local watering hole. A great night was had by all but the morning was a little rough. Needless to say, I had to take a break today to go home and take a two hour nap. Here’s a shout out to Sadie for the birthday flowers…thanks blog buddy!

The Pioneer Woman

Sadie2 Comments

I mentioned when I posted about the books I read this summer that I would hopefully read one more before summer was over.  Well I did, and I’m so glad because it was the best book I read all summer.I was browsing in a BN store in search of a new book, and this one caught my eye.  It was in the food writing/cookbook section which I enjoy, but it’s a love story.  It seemed like the perfect option.  It’s by a celebrity blogger/chef who’s been working her way up to a spot on the Food Network.  But the great part is that it’s about her love life.

Prior to reading this book I did not know that much about the Pioneer Woman, but now I’m a complete fan.  I am so jealous of her fabulous love story with her husband who she refers to as the Marlboro Man.  Plus I love that it’s a true story, it makes it that much better.

This book is about 300 pages and I read it in less than three days.  That might be a normal speed for other people, but for me it’s warp speed.  I just couldn’t put it down!

Ian Somerhalder, Currently Heating up Mystic Falls

This blog entry is at the request of my dear friend, Karla.  We share a lot of things in common but one of them is our love for Ian Somerhalder.  We first discovered his twinkling eyes and stunning sex appeal on a short-run show called Young Americans.  In 2000, Young Americans began as a summer spin-off of Dawson’s Creek.  The young and inexperienced cast also included Kate Bosworth.  Sadly, the series only lasted 8 episodes, but it made a lasting impression on me.  Its where I first fell in love with Mr. Somerhalder.

He made a few more significant appearances in Life as a House, The Rules of Attraction, Wake and Lost.  But now he has finally hit his stride in The Vampire Diaries.  He plays the insatiably handsome vampire, Damon Salvatore.  He plays the ultimate bad boy who falls in love with a human girl who makes him want to change his bad boy ways.  We all love this romantic plot line, but let’s face it ladies…in reality, no one can change a man but himself.  We all like to dream and The Vampire Diaries let’s us carry out that fantasy.  So tune in every Thursday on the CW at 8.  Here’s a little preview for you.
