It's been a little while since I've linked up, but it's Thursday and I'm ready to link up with Kimi and Heather to share the things I love. I love Aziz Ansari. He's so beyond funny and I can't wait to watch his new show. Loved watching him diversify The Late Show with Stephen Colbert (the … [Read more...]
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets + Homemade Strawberry and Peanut Butter Ice Cream Sandwiches
I just finished Harry Potter & the Chamber of Secrets...and loved it! First off, I loved getting to meet Dobby. I always loved his character in the movies and was excited to meet him in the book. They did a great job of not forgetting any of him in the movie, so at least the Dobby I met … [Read more...]
When Fandoms Collide – Accepting Characters in New Roles
I hate to admit this, but I tend to pigeonhole actors and actresses. If someone has been in a role that I've completely adored or has made a serious impact on me, I ALWAYS think of them as that character. This tends to cause my fandoms to collide. Like how could Frodo Baggins be so crazy in the show … [Read more...]
November 6 on 6 – Gold
I didn't even realize it was the 6th of the month until I saw a few other posts for 6 on 6, but I managed to get this live on the right day - woot! This month's color of 6 on 6, created by Scruffy Little Nerd Herder, is Gold. I went on a hunt finding gold in my house today - and I paid attention to … [Read more...]
Funko Friday – Show & Tell
Huzzah, it's Friday! Yesterday was so crazy that I'm just ready for the weekend. Had a huge nail in one of my car's tires and was supposed to be going to Legoland with my son for his friend's birthday. Thankfully Hubby saved the day by using his free rental car coupon that he earned from all of his … [Read more...]
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone + Savory Pumpkin Pasties
As much as I tried to read slowly, I flew right through Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. It was just so light and so good that I couldn't stop. It also helped that I was basically stuck in bed all day thanks to a Halloween foot injury, so what better to do than read, snuggle with Thomas … [Read more...]
Halloween Recap
I always feel little sad when Halloween is over. To me, I always feel like there's magic in the air around Halloween - and just for Fall in general. We had a great Halloween and this was the first year my son made it the whole night on his on. I didn't have to carry him, put him in a wagon, nothing. … [Read more...]
First Day at Hogwarts and Sorting Hat Cookies
Y'all, today is the day. Not just any day, but THE day... the day I begin reading the Harry Pottery series. This day has been a long time coming. I've wanted to read the books since I saw the first movie, but for some reason I never did. I think the end of high school + college + beginnings of life … [Read more...]
Movie Roles and Weight Loss – Carrie Fisher Star Wars Weight Loss
I've mentioned it here before that I used to have a weight loss blog. I stopped writing there because I was tired of publicly discussing my body. Body image is one of those things that still haunts me and wreaks havoc on my self-esteem - and blogging about it made it even worse. We live in a world … [Read more...]
5 Fandom Friday: 5 Characters I’d Love to Dress Up As
I'll call this 5 Fandom Friturday since it's going up a day late on Saturday, but I love this prompt. Halloween is my favorite holiday, mostly because of the dressing up aspect. I love the ability to transform into my favorite characters for a night. Here are the 5 character I'd love to dress … [Read more...]
