A CLASSIC

Today I was reminded of one of my favorite movies of all time. I have been wrapped up in the Twilight series and dreaming of "Edward" but today one of my favorite movies was on cable today. Romeo and Juliet with favotie CLaire Danes and Leonardo DiCaprio. He is so freaking hot in this movie. He has alot of scenes where he is dripping wet. This may be why he was cast in Titanic?? But what a love story. Great love scenes, great soundtrack, and of course it's Shakespear so you can't go wrong. All that passion with young love. It reminds me of all my crushes growing up. But none of my crushes were as hot as Romeo.

DISSAPOINTMENT

The Twilight book series has been a passion of mine for the last two weeks. I have read all four books and enjoyed three of them. Book number four Breaking Dawn was a 754 page waste. I hated it! Stephanie Meyer should have ended the series with book three. The only thing that I liked about Breaking Dawn was that Bella and Edward finally had sex. If anyone reads the series don't waste your time reading the fourth book. It was too RoseMary's baby for me and turned into more a sci-fi book than a love story. I am excited for the movie to come out in November. I hope that it follows the book. I still have a crush on Edward. I would love to meet a dreamy guy like that.

I'M ADDICTED

So, I'm addicted to the Twilight book series. I got Twilight for my birthday and finally started it Wednesday. I couldn't put it down which was easy since I didn't work that day but I finshed it Thursday evening and I ran out to get the next two in the series. I am excited for the movie to come out in November and am wondering where "my Edward is?" It is a great love story and I love it when I can dive into a good book and forget about my lonley nights. I started Eclips last night and hope to finish the last book in the series in a few days. Then I plan on reading Twilight again--- it' that good!!!!Why am I the last to know about these good books?? Maybe I should join a book club or something.

PERFECT WEDDING

So when the day does come when I meet my Mr. Wonderful and I get to plan a wedding I have only a few requests. I could get married in my parents front yard for all I care but I do want the following for the big day no expence spared. I want a huge cake--like in the $2,000 range. I want it to be the center piece of the event. And I will be having a slice not just a little cut out to taste. I love CAKE!! I also want a huge ROCK of a diamond and I guess that request will come from Mr. Wonderful and I will work on that with prayers that I will meet a guy that can afford a ring that I don't have to pay half for my own diamond. I also want to have a beautiful bouqet and a models body to fit into a wedding dress. I'm not too picky about a dress because I have always hated dresses. The dream of a big wedding would mean alot to me especially knowing that I never went to any of my proms, but I would settle for the big cake and flowers--let's not forget the Hip-Hop music at the reception. Dreams can come true!!!!

Missing Utah???

So I enjoyed my visit in Utah this summer and I'm missing it because of all of the good resturants that they don't have here in California. I miss Cafe Rio, Bajio's and even the simple Taco TIme. I love Cafe Rio's shredded beef salad and Bajio's chicken and green chile salad with the mango salsa. I miss good old Taco Time's crisp meat burittos and their chedder mexi fries. And last but not least Crown Burger. They have the worlds best onion rings and pineapple shakes. So all of you that are in Utah don't take these resturant conviences for granted. There are thoes out there that have to settle for Del Taco. I do have to appreciate that I have In-N-Out, but it still doesn't make up for the chocolate flan at Cafe Rio--yumm yumm. I'm on Atkins so I am craving food right now. Whoever says that Atkins curves you appettite is wrong.

WORST FEAR

So anyone who knows me knows that I am always looking for my Mr. Right. I was getting some dinner tonight at Chipotle and in front of me were these HOT police officers. One had a ring on but the other was ring free. They both said hello and I replied a friendly hello and smile but then realized one of my worst fears. I'm pretty open to different guys and keep my options open but one of my fears is marrying a guy that is a cop--I hate cops. They are always giving me tickets and a hard time. I am not a fan of the badge and have never been much for authority. My other fear is that I meet a guy that has a big snake. Snakes freak me out and I think that they shouldn't be kept as pets. I also don't think they are safe around children and small animals. I have terrible nightmares about snakes attacking my pets. I do admitt to watching shows about snakes finding them interesting but I think it is a coping device to try to get over my fear. I was at a pet shop in St.George once and some of the ginnea pigs were fighting and a lady took one out of it's cage and said it was snake food. I replied" you don't have snakes big enough to eat a ginnea pig?" She replied "go see" and I witnessed a huge snake wrap around this poor little ginnea pig as I was telling the little thing to go towards the light. It was tramuatizing for me. So no Cops and no snake lovers please...... But must love Dogs and unfriendly Cats.

BEST SHOW ON TELEVISION

It is a family tradition since before I was born. The King family is a huge fan of The Young and The Restless. The show is getting so good and they leave the best of the show right at the end. We have been watching it for years and I can keep up on it even if it is just playing in the background. My mom does the same where she can listen to it at her work. Nick is my favorite character and at one point they killed him off and I would have stopped watching it if was true. They have changed major charcters by using different actors but all are pretty true to the part. The lines in the show crack me up and the drama is way better than any other soap as it is more realistic than others--aka Marlana on Days being possesed by the devil. I hope that the tradition will be passed on to my future children and grandchildren---it's that good of a show!!!!

HERE ARE A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS

The men I dream of the women I aspire to be--I'm on team Britney okay

Did I mention that I live in Paradise???

I live and work in Paradise. Here are picture of where I work. Palm Valley Country Club and the Westin Mission Hills Hotel. Both are beautiful properties with great Spa's. Did I mention that I get golf and Hotel discounts--hint hint!!! I love Visitors. Southern California is beautiful come Fall and Winter when you might be raking leaves and shoveling snow.

HOT NEW FALL SEASON

I am excited for the new fall season of my favorite shows. I was a dedicated fan of the original 90210 and I am excited for the new generation. I love Gossip Girl and was able to catch up during the re-runs during the summer. And let's not forget my love for the Hills--remember that I met Audrina at the Westin Spa. She is super tiny and just as beautiful as on the show
