bachelor ben.

better late than never, i suppose.

i hadn't watched a single episode of the bachelor this season...

until last night- when i watched the season finale. 

i wasn't that into the show, simply because i wasn't up to date with

all the drama, make-out scenes and gossip leading up to it.

but, nonetheless, i had a lovely night with friends.

we had a 'girls only' night.

we drank sparkling cider and ate yummy finger foods. 

my conclusion of the show:

i feel sorry for ben.

i loved him last season, but this season

  {or should i say the one episode that i watched?} 

i didn't feel that love. 

i wasn't too attached to either of the girls-

but from first impressions, i would have picked lindzi.

oh, well.

love is a crazy thing and doesn't always work out perfectly.

that's even true for those in hollywood. 

that being said, thank goodness for reality t.v. shows;

they give us an excuse to get together with the girls and eat chocolate.
{of course, while wearing our comfy sweats. or in my case, lovebird's clothes.}

i know some of you are much more into the show than i am.

so, what did/do you think?

i'm looking forward to reading your comments below

as well as all the blog posts posted in honor of ben today! 

christmas from head to toe.

my nails are decked out with christmas cheer.

there's nothing quite like a good ol' classic red.

are you all ready for christmas to be here?

i can't wait. 

i'm so eager to be home with family and friends.

that being said, i'm certainly way behind schedule.

i have so much to do, in so little time.

wrapping, writing, packing, shopping, and crafting.

it seems as though my list keeps getting longer. yikes!

i'm off to start checking some "to do" things off that list.

happy christmas eve eve.

xoxo

lights, camera, action!

movie review:

loved it. great movie. long but not long enough.

adorable outfits, brilliant actresses and great story line.

plenty moments of tears and laughter. 

a must see. 

what a fun girls night out last night!

we were definitely the groupies- 

going on opening night thinking it would be packed....

buying our tickets early online, showing up early and then...

walking into a empty theater.

good thing we had a group of twenty. 

our laughter and sniffles made up for a full audience. 

we had a blast, and all walked away feeling grateful for the lives we have.

you should all go see this! 

and read the book too. it's incredible.

i'm taking lovebird this weekend. i'm already looking forward to it.
