GIRLIE UPDATE: The Hunger Games (again)

I joined my friend Tina to see The Hunger Games tonight.  It was my second time but I still cried like a baby.  At least I was prepared with more than two tissues this time.  She liked it even though she didn't read the books.  We're looking forward to the next one, and many of the previewed flicks (with Thor and the Rock!)

After we had dinner at The Cheesecake Factory.  I enjoyed a creamy chicken, corn, mushrooms and artichoke soup with the yummy breads.  Then Tina and I split a chicken Marsala dish.  It just melted in my mouth!  To finish the lovely meal, I ordered a red velvet delight while Tina had the Kahlua coffee -- cheesecake.

A great night with a good friend!  We plan to have more girlie nights, with perhaps some shopping in the mix!

To continue the spirit that is the Hunger Games, here's another YouTube video I found and liked.  It includes spoilers so watch at your own risk.  I wished the quality was better but I love the music.  Can you guess the original singer?

My new 'do

I was itchin' for a new do.  Opted for something short and edgy this time.

Psych!  Yes it's shorter then usual but not too short to put me in the dog house.  Aaron saw pictures and doesn't want me with short hair, ever!

I'm trying to grow out my bangs too.  Want the side sweep but it needs training.  We'll see how long that lasts.

ADOPTION QUEST: Can we do it?

Since watching our friends go through the process, I've come to terms with myself and now think I could handle an adoption!!  I know there are many ways to adopt a child.  Aaron and I are looking into going through our county children services and fostering a child with the intention to adopt.  Obviously we would like an infant but we would be willing to take a toddler, and perhaps siblings!  I get excited just thinking about it!

GIRLIE UPDATE: Cold Light of Day trailer 2

What a tease!  He really makes a good action, kick-ass hero!  Hold up, it opens in September instead of April now?  How can you do this to me!

GIRLIE UPDATE: The Hunger Games

I finally went to see The Hunger Games with my library peeps!  It's filled with lots of emotion -- sadness, excitement, fear, and love... and as expected I cried through the whole movie!  Two tissues were not enough!  It had everything I love in a movie -- a strong female, romance, hot males (two of them, yay!) and action. 

Katniss and Peeta

I had the pleasure of reading the book(s) before seeing it on screen this time.  And I'm glad my friends encouraged me to read them.  If you haven't read them yet, they are quick reads.  After all they are a Young Adults series.  Looking forward to the next flick in the series, Catching Fire that hopefully comes out the end of next year.

Katniss and Gale

Monica, Naomi, Marion, Jennifer and I also went to dinner at Moose Head Grill and Pub in Amherst.  Good food and great company!

 

Who would you pick?  Peeta or Gale?  Tough choice!  Here let me help you decide...
