caught the tail end of one of her all time favorite movies

Have you seen The Goonies? Seriously, it's a classic...

saw a funny movie

My netflix list is so out of control, sometimes movies show up in my mailbox that I've never even heard of and I certainly don't remember ever adding to the list.

Case in point - this hilarious satire on the decline of human intelligence. I thought it was hysterical. Hubby, not as much....

Two's-Day: Top 2 Comedies

I'm going to start something new on Tuesdays where I share my top 2 in any given category.

Top 2 Comedies:

My Cousin Vinny - This movie is from 1992 but it never fails to crack me up. Joe Pesci is hysterical especially with his interactions with his fiancee ( a very funny Marisa Tomei) and all his wardrobe malfunctions like having to wear a movie usher suit to court. Even if you saw it a long time ago it's worth re watching - So funny!




The Hangover - I think this might be the funniest movie of all time. The kind of movie that you notice something new each time...

Honorable Mentions:

Borat - Husby and I quote this all the time. I love the concept of a spoof on a travel documentary.

The Out of Towners - I love those kind of movies where Murphy's Law takes over and they find themselves in the strangest predicaments. I've seen both but the 1970 one is much funnier.

What are your top 2 comedies?

had a beautiful Mother's Day!

All in all I had the perfect Mother's Day...

It started on Saturday evening when I opened up some of my Mother's Day gifts. I got silver earrings with red stones (kind of a southwestern feel to them), a picture frame, a sushi kit from Crate and Barrel and a photo album from Pottery Barn. Danny got me a pair of Banana Republic sunglasses which unfortunately are a little tight and a gorgeous Gucci purse which I've already moved into.

On Sunday morning, I got the girls dressed to go out for Mother's Day (Olivia kept saying it was her birthday).





We got into the car, made a pit stop at Starbucks and then spontaneously changed our plans because of the freakishly cold weather. Instead of driving 2 hours away to Philly, we spent a relaxing day close to home. The four of us (Husby, Olivia, Sophia and I) tried an Indian restaurant I've driven by before in the past that always looked interesting, Dabbawalla in Summit, New Jersey. I learned some pretty interesting cultural facts about the Indian lunch system, read all about it here. We had the Mother's Day buffet, it was delicious. I love Indian food especially anything with Paneer (a kind of cottage cheese cube substituted for meat in various dishes). Some of you may be wondering what do the girls eat when we go to "exotic" restaurants and to be honest they eat what we eat. Olivia had an Indian kids meal with chickpea fritters and also shared a little of our naan (similar to pita bread), puri (puffed pita bread), rice and various fruits and vegetables. Sophia had little nibbles of everything - we are still waiting for those teeth....

Later in the day, we went to a park and Danny and Olivia flew a kite, it was so cute. I stayed with Sophia who was taking a little nap and caught up on the latest Marie Claire magazine with Sarah Jessica Parker (don't you just love her?!?!).

Afterwards we went to Red Mango for frozen yogurt ( a recent obsession of mine). Later on we came home and I snuck in a little nap, that almost never happens.

In the evening, we put the girls to bed and had the perfect ending to a memorable day. Danny cooked Carne Frita which was yummy and we ate it while we watched the movie Leap Year while drinking a glass of Moscato. I thought the movie was fun, I really don't get critics sometimes.....




How did your day turn out?





Until tomorrow,

wants to see The Back Up Plan

Jennifer Lopez is one of my favorite entertainers. I want to see her succeed, probably in part because the media seems so intent on having a field day with her.

• I like her music (even the album's that critics didn't). It's exactly what I need sometimes - fun music you can sing along to while you dance behind the steering wheel. It's feel good music and her videos never disappoint.
• She's a hardworking businesswoman. She strives to be the best but even when her ventures don't succeed as well as others, like her Spanish album and her clothing line, at least she knows she tried.
  
• Style wise you have to admit she's an icon. Few other celebrities have that wow factor. She always turns it out and inspires to me to inject some glamour into my life.
  
• I like how she's evolved as a woman since having her twins. I respect the fact that she tries to keep her marriage private while still showing the importance she gives it.
  
• I like her perfumes. I have all of them. Some of them aren't as original as others but I'm loyal to the collection I started and need to add this one.
• I haven't always liked all her movies but then again romantic comedies aren't always my favorite. Some of her recent ones like El Cantante and Bordertown were a step away from what you'd expect.

This movie looks cute and I would definitely check it out:

I guess I'm a fan.....


Until tomorrow,

can't wait for this movie!

I loved the book, devoured it in 2 days and have recommended it to so many people. I love that it's a true story, what a brave woman to truly want to disconnect and discover herself. I'd like to read Elizabeth Gilbert's new book "Committed" also....



What movie can't you wait for?


Until tomorrow,
