Haunting. Memorable. His music is inspiring to me. When I saw the 4th movie (Patrick Doyle, composer), and the 5th (Nicolas Hooper, composer) in the Harry Potter series I knew there was something missing. For me it was in the music. This greatly affected my experience. I wasn’t brought into the story as emotionally involved as I had been before. This was such a disappointment to me. Nicolas Hooper has written the score for the second time.His reviews are in:… [Read More]
Last week I received 2 lovely blog awards. The first is from Preppy 101 of All Things Southern & Preppy. Thank you very much dear BF. What can I say about P 101 and her blog? We all seem to know her and love her and now she is going to be sharing her most fabulous journey of her daughter’s wedding with us. I can’t wait to hear all the details along the way. I hope her PD knows how… [Read More]
I postponed my trip since my last minute ticket purchase cost me twice as much as I thought it was going to. I lost $200 on the cancellation fee but we will plan to go in in late August. Son2 is fine with it as now he can join his peeps at midnight tomorrow for the new Harry Potter movie. He read all the books so he wants to see the series through. They already have their tickets which is… [Read More]
Have you ever wondered if your husband was having an affair? Years ago a friend of mine found out her husband had made reservations in Vegas by the credit card company’s fraud protection department calling the house and asking if anyone had recently used the card since the account had been dormant. ‘Bob’ changed his reservations from Vegas to a local Marriott Residence for several weeks thereafter before groveling his way back home. Then there was ‘N’ who was dutifully… [Read More]
I am loving this new Ann Veronica pattern‘Happy as a clam’.So summery. I can also recommend this double holder for your specs. Perfect for sunglasses and cheaters. I used to throw both in my bag unprotected. I know. My bad but I didn’t want to mess with two glass cases. I highly recommend this case for 16 clam-o-las.
It took me two days to recover from the wedding this past week. I slept all the way on the drive home until we hit LA and stopped at Philippe’s for dinner then continued sleeping off and on all day Sunday. One thing I have learned and I have been sharing this advice with family and friends so they know next time ~ friends do not let friends do ‘the lawnmower’ dance under any circumstances. Anyway, with my nephew’s wedding,… [Read More]
The destination wedding we are going to is in 2 days. It is truly in the middle of nowhere to my way of thinking. The biggest airports are either LAX or San Francisco and this location is equidistant to both. This means a long trip by car, around 6 hours. Friends have called to inform me of the traffic we will probably hit. Seems the processional to Neverland is also headed the direction we are going. I really hope we… [Read More]
Thank you to Shabby Chicks for the wonderful give-away gifts. The flips flops are fabulous(and she made the crystal adornments!)Talent and beauty, what a gal!
If your man is going to wear critters this summer…. Please, wear these … Not these! I don’t know about you but this reminds me of a subtle PSA in middle school. Theme to Deadliest Catch – “Wanted Dead or Alive” – Bon Jovi
Just once I’d like to own a pair of CL red soled shoes. I really do love these. So Audrey. Even without the kitten heal. Perfect for the destination wedding this week. And speaking of Audrey, would you like to play a little game today? If you listen to “Une Very Stylish Fille” on the sidebar or on the video, can you tell which Audrey movie the lines are from and who said them?I’m not going to tell ~ yet…. [Read More]
