Necklace Organization from a Pin :)

I saw this...

...and knew I wanted to do this with my necklaces. It really is a brillant idea and such a step up for me since my necklace organization was half on a hook behind my belts and the other half on a nail and they would always get tangled when I wanted one that wasn't on the top. So off to target I went and found a set of 12 hooks that had two hooks at the bottom! Score!

Ta-Da! So pretty and organized! Can you tell I like looonnnggg necklaces and animal necklaces?!?! ha ha How do you organize?

If you're worried where I hang my towel now...let's just say the floor has always been a towel rack...I'm bad I know :\.

Midnight in Paris

Source

This movie was slow...ugh. I honestly don't see how it was competing for an Oscar. But anyways...if you are a fan of old school artist, writers and musicians (and I mean old...i.e. Picasso, Hemingway and Fitzgerald) then you might like this movie.

Owen Wilson plays a character who is in love with Paris and wishes he could have lived there back in the 20's and in the rain. Rachel McAdams plays his fiance (first of all they don't look right together so that bugged me) who is a very high maintenance, annoying and materialistic person and she doesn't understand his infatuation with it all. All of a sudden he gets pulled into the 20's and you don't know if it's for "real" or if he's dreaming. It's all very weird. Then you see him wake up in his bed back in the present day. He becomes obsessed with going back to be with all those famous people and  I guess in a way it helps his character figure out what he wants. So I guess the message of the movie is a good one to follow...Be Who You Truly Are.

Anyways...there you have it...has anyone else seen this movie? Did you like it? Or did you fall asleep like my mom did?

Speedy Gonzales...

Some things you should know before I give show y'all the picture...

1. Dinner is very import to us
2. My fingers can type faster than my mind works
3. I find the simplest things hi-lar-ious!

I was cracking up at my desk when I realized what I had typed...ha ha...that's what I get for trying to speak spanish and type fast at the same time! Hope everyone is having a great Friday!!

Act of Valor

What a movie! You can definitely feel the reality when watching this one compared to all the other Hollywood movies about war. You pretty much know the ending to the story at beginning of the movie, but watching it get there and what all those men go through is something else. At times it had a bit of a video game feel, but it was never too distracting.

There are so many movies about the war on terrorist, but this one seems pretty true to real life. I've read reviews from people who have seen this movie who are veterans and they are raving about it so I can only assume that what is portrayed in this movie is probably as close to what those men and women see out there as we will ever get. 

This is definitely a guy movie, but I think if you're up for it you should watch it as well. I know I've written it before, but I feel like I can never say thank you enough to the men and women who protect us each and every day.

No Pudge Fudge Brownies

I've been wanting to try these for a long time but always ended up getting a box of funfetti mix (what can I say that stuff is good!) I was invited over for dinner and knew the family was on a health kick, but I still wanted to bring a dessert and figured this was the perfect time to try these babies out.

I picked up two boxes of the mix in order to use my 9x13 perfect brownie pan and a carton of of Light n Fit vanilla yogurt. These are probably the easiest brownies to make. And with no eggs the batter is safe to eat (not that eggs have ever stopped me before...ha ha)!

These are so moist and fudge like! They are definitely my new favorite brownie! Of course, I wouldn't turn down a traditional brownie, but these don't make me feel as guilty...he he he.

Has anyone else ever tried these?

Rodeo - Chris Young

This was my last rodeo for the year :( Minus the not so great weather and a sound board (or something) going out during the concert, this was still a really good rodeo.

The company I work for sponsors a cowboy and I actually got to see him compete in one of his events...Steer Wrestling. He had put down a really good time, but they called a penalty on him for body checking the steer or something so he didn't get a score...boooooo!

I really tried hard to get a picture of a cowboy still on a bull and the bull kicking and this is the best I got. Either the cowboy had already fallen off or the bull had it's butt to me...ha ha.

This was Chris Young's first time performing at the rodeo and the first time I've ever seen him in concert...yay!

So you see that camera man with the really long camera?!?! Well he was always in my way...grrr...didn't he know I was trying to take pictures?!?! ha ha

He opened with "Save Water Drink Beer" and closed with "Tomorrow" and of course sang all his other hits in between, some of which I knew and some I didn't. I guess you could say I didn't do my "homework" before this performance...ha ha...oh well next time I'll be more prepared to sing my heart out. 

Rodeo came and went so fast for me that I'm ready for next year...ha ha...I can't wait to see who will be in the line up when it's announced next January...ha ha...let the countdown begin!

Eric Church in OKC

When I found out that Eric Church was touring I was soooo excited! Unfortunately, he wasn't coming to a city close to me so instead we made the drive up to Oklahoma to see him (what can I say I'm a dedicated fan), Brantley Gilbert and Drake White. I also took 250 picture at the concert, but I'll try to contain myself on here...

Drake White...

Didn't know any of his songs, but he sounds pretty good...

You can't tell from the pictures, but he is crazy on stage!!

Brantley Gilbert...

Looks more like a rocker...I guess you could call him rock country

He also loves the "rock on" sign...

You can almost see his eyes!!!

Brantley Gilbert = Awesome!

ERIC CHURCH!!!

Always in his aviators...

Singing "Pledge Allegiance To The Hag"

Eric Church is crazy on stage...

More crazy awesomeness and a banjo

While singing "These Boots" everyone took off a boot and held it up and he actually signed one!

And finally he closed out the show singing "Springsteen" and showed off his piano skills

Overall this concert was amazing! I can't wait to see another one of his :) he he he. Hope I didn't overload y'all with too many pictures.

p.s. This was the view through my camera without the zoom...I LOVE my camera!
