The Secret

Luv you, Katy Perry

Just got out of the movie, Katy Perry, Part of Me in 3D.

Each time I mentioned I wanted to see this movie, I got eye rolls, sighing or worse, "just tell us you are really going to see Magic Mike." 

BUT  . . .

It was so much better than I thought it would be and I was really excited to see it. That rarely happens. Usually when I am excited to see a movie, it a disappointment because I hype it up in my mind so much more.

Katy Perry is so wonderfully unique that I can't help but love her. She is girl next door pretty, fun. kind and so creative. The movie gave light to her amazing work ethic, her love of family and friends and her never ending beautiful heart.



I laughed. I cried. I felt inspired and I saw how other girls, young and old, see her as a woman superstar paving the way for us to finally come out and be ourselves. She embraces who she is even, if her parents don't live that way. She doesn't disgrace them or negate them either. They live in a (semi) harmony. Good for them. We should all be so lucky. I hope to b able to pass that feeling of embracing yourself for whoever you will be to my kids one day.

Her relationship with Russell Brand was part of the movie, which I was unaware of. I knew she was married to him, but didn't realize he was a point of topic. I could not believe the amount of effort she put in to her relationship. Now it is only one sided, from the movie, but she flew all over to see him and not once did he come see her. Amazing. I felt for her. Doing everything you possible can, sometimes just isn't enough. But she worked through and kept her head high. She amazes me.

Her music is spectacular too! I love many of her songs and to know that five songs on one record were #1 hits which is more than any other singer (other than Michael Jackson) is unbelievable. Good for her. To know she went through 3 record labels, no one knowing what to do with her til she ended at Capital.

The Avengers Movie

I don't remember ever going to a Midnight showing of a movie before. As a child, I was too busy swimming to actually think about doing things that took me off my schedule. As an adult, it just never seemed important enough. I always knew I could go to the movie later in the week and without all those people. However, we put together a small group to go see Avengers. I still almost backed out. I am just not a late night person and I have been exhausted this week. Truly squeezed dry. Got there almost two hours before the movie started. Two hours! And the line was already wrapped a few times around the movie theater. We were lucky though because one of the people in our group had cousins who had been there since 4pm. FOUR! That's six hours waiting in line. We gathered together hanging out in this enormous crowd of people. The occasional eruption of screams due to costumed people and recognition of friends arriving. And there were a lot of costumes. Grown men and women wearing The ...

August Wrap-Up & September TBR

So August has been my best reading month so far. Not nearly close to where my reading is usually at, but its getting back there. I did enjoy most of the books I read this month. So that's some good news. Books I Read In August: Library of Souls (Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children #3) by Ransom Riggs (5/5 Stars) A Map of Days (Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children #4) by Ransom Riggs (5/5 Stars) The Deceivers (Vale Hall #1) by Kristen Simmons (5/5 Stars)   I finally got caught up on the Miss Peregrine's series! And I really enjoyed books 3 and 4 more than the first two. I don't know what it was, but I was just super in the mood for them and really enjoyed them. I also finally read one of my ARCs. Guys, you know how far behind I am. So this is a good thing. Lol.  Night of Cake & Puppets (Daughter of Smoke & Bone #2.5) by Laini Taylor (4.5/5 Stars) Red Rising (Red Rising #1) by Pierce Brown (5/5 Stars) Heart of Iron (Heart of Iron #1) by Ashley Poston (DNF) I...

Wordless Wednesday - Claire Thomas from Food for Thought

I got this recipe from Claire Thomas who hosts the TV Show Food for Thought . She is the cutest, sweetest and so far my favorite tv chef. Her recipes are so easy and she seems to have a talent for making every recipe seem doable. I actually set my alarm on Saturday mornings to get up in time to see her show (when I am not working). This past week, she featured her Australian Pasta which you should really visit her blog and read the back story to why it is named this. Funny!! I also got a wild hair and decided to make her Cream Scones . Here is the pasta sauce while it is simmering. Here is the final dish. Australian Pasta with strawberries (just finished cutting them for the week's snacks, so I threw a few in) and her scones (bc I didn't make bread). Also, Claire if you are reading this, QUESTION - On your blog recipe, you didn't specify searing the sausage and taking them out of the pan while the onions and garlic cook. But in your show, I distinctly remember you keeping t...
