My tag invention: Twilight!

Friday Katie and I went to see Twilight. I really didn't have high hopes for it, considering that the previews seemed a little weird to me and I didn't really agree with the casting choices, but overall, I liked it. I don't think it would have been possible to make it so that everyone would agree with the casting choices (obviously, since everyone has their own idea of what Edward and Bella look like), but I still think they could have done a better job with casting. Since James was out camping last night and I seem to have insomnia when he's not here, I spent some time browsing through actors/actresses online, trying to decide who I would have picked and then decided to create my own blog tag: the Twilight Tag!

Pick one actor who you think would make a good Edward and one actress who think would make a good Bella and then post it on your blog. These are my picks:



Nick Zano (from What I Like About You)

Emma Watson (she's in Harry Potter, in case you've been hiding under a rock for the last 6 or 7 years)

Both of them would need to make their hair darker, but that's an easy fix. I'm sure there are plenty of people who disagree with me, but these two are the closest to what I imagine Edward and Bella to be. Plus, Nick Zano is much more "my type" than Robert Pattinson, and of course he would have to be in order to fit what I would imagine Edward to look like. I'm sure that if you were to pick someone to play Edward, he would end up being "your type" too.

I tag: Katie, Erin, and anyone else who loves Twilight!

8 People to tag: sorry, I don't think I'll be tagging anyone this time!

America's Next Top Model Is...

...ME!

Okay, maybe not for real, but it certainly was fun playing super model for a day!

My FABULOUS friend, Heidi Andrews, is the creator of these awesome headbands. Aren't they sweet-tastic? She and her sister are starting up this new business and needed some photos for their show room in L.A. So lucky me got to be one of the models. I think it's so cool:) Thanks for thinking of me Heidi!

Human Nature

...is a funny thing. One thing in particular strikes me as interesting right now. The whole "I want what I can't have" conundrum. At this point in time, I really want some cold weather, however, a few months ago I was going crazy needing warm weather. I mean seriously, I went to Vegas for a weekend with the simple motivation of finding not just warm, but HOT weather. Now I have that. Hot, beautiful weather. And all I want is cold, rainy weather. I'm trying to make myself get over it. But how do you get over wanting what you can't have?

I suggest to myself: Self, embrace what you have! Live in the now!

So I'm thinking of going to the beach today. I can't go for long, but I never really like going for too long anyway. And maybe on my way home I'll get myself some frozen yogurt (I know, ~gasp!~ Christy getting frozen yogurt? what a surprise! but I actually haven't had any in quite a while).

Hopefully this will help me not be crazy, but then again, I'm not sure that there's too much hope for me to not be crazy... it's in my genes!

Tagged...

I was tagged by I think 3 different people for this one, but being the major procrastinator that I am, I never did it. So, I've decided to stop the cycle of procrastination and just do it!

Instructions: Go to your 4th picture folder and upload the 4th picture

Remember how once-upon-a-time, I had blonde hair? Weird, huh? Anyway, this is James and I on the Maid of the Mist at Niagara Falls. It was so freakin' cool! This was day 1 of our fabulous anniversary trip starting at Niagara and ending in New York City. It was awesome:)

I Love

Poppies! I think it's safe to say that poppies are my favorite flower. Imagine my delight when I checked etsy today and the main page was everything poppy. There were so many things that I just loved, but this was my absolute favorite:

On a side note, my good friend Heidi Andrews asked me to model for her new company, True Birds, yesterday. They make the cutest designer head bands and I got to get all dolled up and pretend to be America's Next Top Model. It was super fun! (thanks Heidi!) Anyway, Ill post some of the pics when I get them, so keep checking back!

Hope you're all having a fabulous week!

Today's the big day!

Don't forget to vote! And especially don't forget to vote YES on 8!
