Enough Strawberry Banana Juice To Last Us A While

Hello Kitties!

Sorry this post might be a little rambley jambley. Sorry. Just go with me. There are a variety of topics, and sadly none of them are really that connected. I am too lazy to think up clever segues.

First of all is a movie review. Two weeks ago. Yes, two long weeks ago, Jenny and I (along with every other tween in town) excitedly went to see 17 Again.

I have no shame in admitting that Zac Efron is definitely a thumbs up in my book. Sure, when I saw the first High School Musical I thought the hair was a little lame, but then I saw this, and well, come on!

The actually story of 17 Again is nothing that is too original. It's like Big, in reverse. But really there is not much wrong with this light-hearted flick. And bonus for you guys out there, it isn't so super girly, so even you might like it.

Zac definitely makes this movie viewable. At one point in the movie, there was an audible gasp in our theatre just from Zac's appearance on screen. I can say that thankfully Zac has joined the ranks of some of our other movie crushes, like Leonardo DiCaprio, Freddie Prinze Jr and Johnny Depp.

Three Good Things About This Movie:
1) Zac Efron in the blue sweater
2) Zac Efron tearing up. (Almost broke my stone heart.)
3) Zac Efron in the plaid shirt (Testify ladies!)

Zac Efron makes up for any bad that might be in this movie. So if you are a looking for a fun kick off to your summer, why not give 17 Again a try.

Alright new topic. Last weekend I successfully hosted a surprise birthday party for my dear Jenny. I spent most of last week arranging the logistics of the party, and praying that first, Jenny wouldn't find out, and secondly that she would be happy with a large birthday party. Jenny had spent the week before telling me about how she wanted to celebrate her birthday with a little peace and quiet. (Which gratefully the party was not.)

Thankfully everything went as planned, and our eclectic group of friends, as well as the birthday girl, had a funny night.

The party made me miss our Weekday Eves of yesteryear. Sadly with the summer quickly approaching, I am more than nostalgic for the old tyme days. Something I know we can't really recreate.

Moving on. Well I am pretty sure that I was born a good forty years too late. While I love living in the 2000s (Do we have name for this decade yet?), I have only recently realized how sweet it was in the 1960s.

With some free time on our hands and no new TV on DVD to watch, Jenny and I got the first season of the Emmy winning series, Mad Men. Taking place in a New York ad agency in the early 1960s,this drama filled series had Jenny and I hooked from the first episode. The music, clothes, excessive amounts of smoking and drinking make this show unlike anything else on TV. Seriously. Seriously. Seriously. If you are looking for something new and a little different, give Mad Men a gander.

Jenny and I are waiting not so patiently for Season Two to come out on DVD, and excitedly for Season Three to start again later this summer.

My last topic of conversation, I have decided, will have to wait for it own post. It is that good. I am hoping to get it out before the end of the week. Give me a poke or two if my deadline is drawing near. (It's not that great of a story, but the best one I've got these days.)

Thanks to all of you for your continued love and support. I've been lucky enough to hang out with so many of you in person the last couple of weeks! (Sadly though, you already knew all of my recent stories.)

You know the line; Keep doing what you're doing.

As Always,
