Red Letter Haze

I swear I didn’t send this in to post secret, but I might as well have. ugh-PET PEEVE!!! Whoever you are that sent this in: we are microwave soulmates!!!

Anyway, this week was a pretty busy one. I was supposed to have some guest bloggers but that plan fell through. Perhaps maybe this week. Some highlights of the week:

• I’ve been working diligently on a super secret project that I can’t really talk about yet. I don’t like keeping secrets, so when I get the OK to tell people, you guys will be the first to know. But needless to say, it’s been keeping me quite the busy bee.
• Tuesday one of my faves Jamie got us tickets to a special sneak preview of the Time Traveler’s Wife. We met up with Suze & Angie and patiently waited in line for about 45 minutes and had a good time just BS’ing. I also got to see fellow GG writer Desiree! Since the book is probably one of my favourites of all time, I was really worried about the movie ruining it for me. Thankfully it didn’t, but the movie didn’t evoke quite the powerful emotional response the book did. Sure I cried a little at the end, but it was nowhere near the gutwrenching sobs I experienced reading it. The more I thought about the movie, the less I liked it. Maybe it’s one of those stories that doesn’t translate well to film because I felt the movie lacked serious character development.
• Friday Chris & I went to see Paper Heart. Must’ve been movie week or something. Chris is more the romantic type than me so I tried to ignore his eye batting at me throughout the movie. It’s not overly gushy, but it IS a movie about love. It’s expected. (but that doesn’t mean I have to start melting and being all swoony!)
• Yesterday I had the pleasure of going with Chris and our friends Blagica and Michael to Velika Gospa. I’m going to post later on it in more detail, but damn can my peeps (Croatians) cook!!!
• Today was pretty much a lazy day. Chris & I were supposed to go see District 9 but didn’t get around to it yet. I would say there’s always next weekend, but it’s my other fave Jess‘ birthday and I can’t wait to celebrate with her.

So how was your week/weekend??

Giveaway Note: Winners will be announced tomorrow!! Thank you to everyone who entered, your stories were great!!

**I’d also like to thank my friends and readers for your support/advice on my breakup post. My friend ended up reading the post, so that pretty much was the end of it. I’m pretty sad about it because it’s never easy to lose a friend. I moped around for the first few days as if I had lost a boyfriend or something. But I suppose it’s for the best. So thank you all again for your words of wisdom & support.
