Twilight...

Okay, guilty confession time. I've read all four books in the Stephanie Meyers series. I'm a Jacob fan. And lastly, I secretly want to move to Forks, Washington. 

Well actually, I don't EVER want to move to Forks, Washington and I don't feel guilty at all for having read the Twilight series. Come on, any girl that has read those books can tell you that they are Gooood. I mean G - double O - D, GOOD. 

When I heard a movie version of the first book in the series was coming out, I knew I had to go see it. What I didn't know is how Ah-MAZING it was going to be. I loved it so much that I may or may not have seen it twice... within 24 hours. 

Now all I need is a dreamy vampire boyfriend like Edward or a hunky one like Emmett and I'll be set :)


Skeptical? Click here to see the trailer.

BTW - I'm almost tempted to go to Chinatown and buy a couple of pirated copies of the movie in hopes that one of them would be decent. I'll let you know if I get that desperate.

Halloween...

This was the first time I have dressed up for Halloween in a couple of years, and I must say I had so much fun. I dressed up with my friends Thomas and Brittany as characters from the popular TV series Gossip Girl. Thomas was Chuck, Brittany was Blaire, and I was Serena. We had so much fun!
Tink, Chuck, Blaire, and Little Red

Roommates!

Me and the crew from Gilligan's Island.


The three of us trying to do our best to look GG.


FLAVORFLAV!!! 
Yo, what time is it?


Our best GG impression... in all the other photos we were laughing :)

All the pretty ladies!

There you have it!

Winter is Near...

Maybe the title should actually be "Winter is Here..." but today it was so warm that I was sweating. So for now, I'll just stick with near. 

Anyways, with winter fast approaching I find myself constantly thinking of ski season, reading ski magazines, and stopping to take a look inside any store that sells mountain lifestyle apparel and accessories. I consider it continuing education :) 

This year I am thrilled because it is time to get a new pair of skis. For the past five years I have skied on a pair of K2 Public Enemy's. They have been well-used and well-loved but it is time for these pup's to retire. This fall I has been full of extensive online research suplemented by magazines and gut instinct to help me choose my next pair of skis. It was a tough choice but in the end I went with these beauties.
They are the Rossignol S5 Barras ski. The skis are said to be one of the best all-mountain twintips of the season and were given rave reviews by testers from various ski magazines. As you can imagine I'm stoked to ski on these gems so bring on the snow!

BTW - My plan this winter is to ski in 3 states. Utah and Colorado have already been penciled in. Now where should I go for the 3rd place?

I Voted...

Go figure... I actually am old enough to vote in elections. How exciting, right? Well I think it is. And although you could probably already guess, I believe in conservative Republican ideals so I voted for the McCain-Palin duo today. My Grandpa Romans would be proud :)
