Oh Happy Week

I am on a super high right now! This Friday I am going with my Twilight bestie, Candice, to see ECLIPSE!!!

I am so super excited about this movie because it was my favorite book! It like everything is finally coming together for Bella and Edward.

We are looking around to find out which theater we think will be least crowded. But I am sure it is going to be packed everywhere.

We are also thinking of places to eat before hand. For those who live in Memphis if you have a favorite place in the Wolfchase area let me know!

I also think I need a really fun shirt to wear that night! I have seen some that says "real men sparkle". I might get that one. Have you seen any other cute shirts?

Do you have big Eclipse plans?

Hi I'm Laura (Hi Laura)

And I am a hopeless romantic. haha!!

Sometimes I feel like I need to go to an HRA (Hopeless Romantics Anonymous) meeting. I love so much old movies where men still pursue woman, and they are gentleman! Any day of the week I will pick to watch a good chick flick or pick up a Nicholas Sparks book!

Wednesday I had a little extra time before going to church so I hopped in to Barnes in Noble. I know if you read my last post you know that I don't have time to read but I just love going to a bookstore and looking around. While I was browsing I found two books that I have to get when I start reading again.

This is the description on the inside cover:

Remember the wonderfully romantic book of love letters that Carrie reads aloud to Big in the recent blockbuster film, Sex and the City? Fans raced to buy copies of their own, only to find out that the beautiful book didn't actually exist. However, since all of the letters referenced in the film did exist, we decided to publish this gorgeous keepsake ourselves.

A second book was published shortly after. This is the description on its cover:

As a companion to Love Letters of Great Men, this anthology gives the other side of the story: the secret hopes and lives of some of the greatest women in history, from writers and artists to politicians and queens. From the private papers of Anne Boleyn and Jane Austen to those of Emily Dickinson and Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire, Love Letters of Great Women collects together some of the most romantic letters in history.

Oh I can't wait to have time to read again and grab these little treasures!

*SIGH*

The only issue with my wonderful little trip was when my mom was checking out they asked her if she would like to sign up and get a membership card. She would save 10% on every purchase. I am intrigued because I have a card for Borders already! With Borders I got the card for free and then every time after a purchase I would get an email from them with a 20% of coupon for next time!

So I asked the friendly clerk how much would it be to become a member? It is $25 a year! What?! So in a year I would have to spend $250 to just break even because you only save 10% each time. The average book cost $25 or $30 dollars, I splurge and the the hardback! So I would have to buy 10 books a year. I probably by about 7 or 8 so I would not even break even and forget saving any money?!

Are any of y'all members of Barnes and Noble? Am I wrong? Cause that just does not sound like a good plan to me?

Have a wonderful weekend!

Wishful Wednesday . . . Lost

'I wish' .... I hadn't lost my time to read!!

Lately I have not had time to read which is devastating to me! I love reading and I have a stack of books next to my bed. I am sure they feel like I am ignoring them. Hopefully things will slow down here in the next few weeks and I can start reading again.

Here are some of the books patiently waiting on me.

This one is probably yelling at me to pick it up. On a happy side note. I ran for the first time since the knee injury. Just a mile but it didn't hurt so that looks promising.

What do you wish you hadn't lost? Jump over to Kelsey's blog and play along.

Catch Me If You Can

For those of you that have been following me for a while know that I love running. I ran my very first Half Marathon in December for St. Jude. Afterwards though I had a lot of pain in my knee. I went to the doctor and was put in a brace with no physical activity for 8 weeks. Then very limited activity. I blogged about it here.

Well I have been just walking lately. I walk about 3 miles each time. On July 3rd there is the Firecracker 5K. I am really wanting to participate so I think I am going to sign up. I doubt I will be able to run the whole time so I am planning on doing a walk-run! But at least it will get me back into racing. I am so excited!

The race is at night so that it will not be so hot! The heat index in Memphis today is between 105 and 110.

Has anyone ran that race before? Or know anyone who has?

Wedding Weekend

This weekend was jammed pack with wedding festivities. First I had Lauren's rehearsal. My friend Kim had an engagement party and then it was all finished up with Lauren and Chris's wedding.

Here is me and the bride!

Bunny sang at the wedding.

It was beautiful! She had so many of our sorority sisters there. This is us singing to her!

Now that the wedding is over I will be spending this week catching up on everything that I let slide.

How was your weekend?

Take Me to the Theater

Last night we had our first meeting about FCA Camp! For the last three years we have hosted an inner city football team at my church and provide them a place to practice and have camp as well as teach them about Christ. Basically I just get to love on them and cater to their every need. And that is something that they don't get a home.

This year we have the ability, and space, to host two teams! This will be very challenging but I am sure we can handle it. God will provide everything we need, I know it! My biggest fear is not being able to give each player enough individual attention. But again I am sure that each one will feel very loved!

Oh I am so excited!!

Central High School- This is their Fourth year

Douglass High School- First year at any camp

Tonight Bunny and I are heading downtown. We are going to enjoy a movie at the Orpheum. I love the Orpheum! It is so Memphis and I have seen so many wonderful movies and Broadway shows there!

The movie tonight is A Philadelphia Story, which I LOVE!! And I am wearing a cute new dress. It is fuchsia and has a zipper all the way up the back so I had to wear these shoes with it!

Get excited it's almost the weekend!!

Top 2 Tuesday . . . Guilty Pleasures

I am so excited about this Top 2!!

My two guilty pleasures are

1. US Weekly- I have to have the new US weekly every week as soon as it comes out. I even know which stores have them out early sometimes. And I will always stop by on my way home from work and check on Thursdays! I then have to read the whole thing in one sitting.

2. Teeny Bopper Shows- I love a good high school sitcom. Don't think that is all I watch though. I do love Monday night CBS shows; however, I have such a soft spot for The O.C., One Tree Hill is my obsession and now I have become addicted to Pretty Little Liars!

What are your guilty pleasures? If you want to play along hop over to The Undomestic Momma!
