Charlie St. Cloud & My Love For Zac Efron

For some reason this movie makes me happy. The story itself is not believable to everyone, and it is adapted from a book. If you're like some people *cough* KIM *cough* you might actually think that it downright sucks. But it makes me wish I knew how to sail. It makes me wish I lived by the ocean. It makes me want to go live in a place that has lots of green colors to it. It also makes me wish I were Zac Efron’s girlfriend, LOL! Yes, I totally have a "not-so-secret" crush on Zac Efron. My future sister-in-law says he looks fake but I think he’s kind of dreamy. He's also one of the few men who's all muscled up that I actually enjoy seeing shirtless. If you knew my taste in guys back in the day you'd understand that statement better. He also seems to be a pretty private and down to earth person in real life, but I could be wrong. Still, I'd like to think that he's just the sweetest guy on earth. 

Gushing aside, I've honesty never seen any of those High School Musical movies before. I'd see him on the pictures, and posters and always thought he was a pretty cute "kid". Until I found out he was legal, my age, and then I watched him on Hairspray. The original movie is on my list of favorites. When I found out they were remaking it, and then that he was the lead I was really excited to see what he could do. After watching his performance I can now say he's on my list of favorite celebrities. I'll watch anything that he comes out in. 

Anyway, if you haven't seen this movie, you should. It made me cry a bit, and of course it's a bit romantic too. Ok, who am I kidding? I watch this movie when I need to feel all giddy and excited about finding that first love. When I need to be whisked away to a seaside town with a cute guy too. LOL! Anyway, go rent and watch! If nothing else, it makes for some nice eye candy. ;-) Have a great Friday everyone!

X Games 17 and A Test...

I really like action sports. I think those guys deserve some major respect, and sometimes even more respect than “regular” athletes. Some of the stuff they do is completely insane! This past week/weekend was X Games 17, and I had my DVR set for anything that popped up with that title. To my disappointment, someone had started recording a Cartoon Network show that interfered with the first two days so I missed out on all of the moto stuff. Meh. I wasn’t too happy about that but thank goodness for YouTube! “My man” took a spill and I’m a little bummed about it. But not before winning Gold in Best Whip! Take a look:

That was pretty much my "exciting" weekend. I did a little shoe shopping for Emery because she’s officially outgrown her size 5’s. I did laundry, relaxed, and caught up on all of the recent True Blood episodes! At one point I tried to study for the placement test and came up really short. Emery and I were alone and she is really getting into that “needy” phase. She wanted to be in my lap, flipping the pages, and pressing buttons on my computer. When I sat her down, she’d start crying, or she would climb on to things and say “Mom, look at this.” If I tried to ignore her she’d start saying “Mom. Mom. Mom. Look at this. Mom. Mom. Mom.” Then, I would go into "guilty mode" for ignoring my baby, and it just wasn’t getting me anywhere. I found some study help this weekend though. I get to have a day or two of tutoring from my friend this week, and hopefully, I’ll be able to retain some of this information long enough to pass the test. Or at least not get a zero. I’m pretty sure I’ll have to do remedial classes, and I’m perfectly OK with that. I just have to get through this test in order to start taking them.

So, I’ll be taking a few days off from blogging to try to get as many study hours logged in as I can. Wish me luck!   

p/s My brother informed me 

that he will be moving out in about 3-4 weeks.

Kind of sad about it, but he's a big kid now.
