January 20, 2011 by Leave a Comment
I cannot believe I'll be leaving tomorrow morning on a jet-plane to go across the country to California -- by myself! Is this a dream? Not anymore! ;) A few weeks ago I received an email from Disney inviting me to the Red Carpet Premiere for Gnomeo and Juliet.

I can't believe I've been having a difficult time trying to find a photo for the past 2 Wordless Wednesday posts. I mean, isn't it the easiest blog post ever?

I have a confession -- I make a few New Years resolutions every year without fail and it always consists of losing weight (particularly losing 20 pounds). Always. This year is different. I did not make not one New Years resolutions. Why? I never follow through. Typically after a few weeks of dieting and exercising, I usually fall off the wagon and I'm back to my usual habits of eating "whatever" and not working out as planned. This year I decided to take charge of my well-being … [Read more...]

January 16, 2011 by 5 Comments
(Just an FYI: WTF translates to "What the filth" LOL) Just in case you've been living under a rock, I wanted to let you all know that there's been a change in the zodiac sign chart. This past Thursday the internet was going berserk over the news about the zodiac sign change. When I first heard about it, I was dumbfounded.
