Friday Five (2)


Happy Friday! Well yes it is indeed Saturday but I meant to post this yesterday and forgot. You'll see why.

1. This week has been rough. I've had a gnarly case of the flu that's kept me down since last Saturday night. First it was nausea, a splitting headache, and general weakness. I felt so sick I missed out on brunch with a few of my favorite ladies which made me sad. Then Monday morning it turned into chills, fever, aching, bleary eyes...basically all the stuff they mention in the Nyquil commercials. I thought Tuesday I was on the road to recovery, then somewhere around midnight my fever spiked to 103 and I seriously contemplated sending for the priest. Thankfully, my fever has since broken and I've been getting LOTS of rest and drinking fluids so I feel better and am slowly making my way back into the land of the living.

2. So the Golden Globes were last weekend and sadly, I was too sick to prepare the post I initially wanted to about all of the fashion. Instead, I'll share my own personal agony and ecstasy from the event.

The Agony:
Jessica Biel's tablecloth chic. This is not a gown befitting a woman who wants to bear the name Timberlake.



The Ecstasy:
Charlize Theron in Dior Haute Couture. She's in my favorite color, looks like a Grecian goddess, and is wearing a Cartier headband. Is it any wonder she's my girl crush? PS- My kingdom for those legs.



3. Last weekend I had the honor of guest posting on one of my favorite blogs, Busy Bee Lauren. Currently, Lauren is doing a countdown to the Hunger Games movie in March and I posted about my favorite character in the series, Cinna. Feel free to read all about it here.

4. I know I carried on quite a bit this month about The Fault in Our Stars by John Green being released. I have read it, but I am not in the mental place to review it quite yet. Just know that I highly recommend it, and suggest you go out and buy it at Target or a grocery store as you'll have a better chance of getting a signed copy.

5. Before I got too sick, I went to see the new Sherlock Holmes movie. I don't claim to be a Sherlock aficionado, in fact I've only seen the films with Robert Downey Jr. and a BBC film about young Sherlock about a decade ago. I just know that looking at RDJ and Jude Law for a few hours was worth $12 to me, so I went and was entertained.

Oh and incidentally, the most exciting thing about going to the movie was seeing the trailer to one of the movies I am SO excited about this year, The Dark Knight Rises. See if you notice the wee shot of JGL in all of this madness:

  1. Glad you are feeling better. I definitely agree about Jessica's & Charlize's gowns. WOW...Charlize looked amazing. I don't watch and I haven't really looked to see most of the fashions.
