Chick Flicks - Never Been Kissed

Never Been Kissed

{via Pinterest}

This movie is classic Drew Barrymore, maybe not as classic as E.T., but as far as chick flicks go, it's pretty awesome. Drew Barrymore is Josie Gellar, a reporter for the newspaper looking for her big break. She gets assigned to go undercover as a high school student, the only problem is she couldn't pull off being cool back when she was actually in high school. A little help from her brother, David Arquette, and she makes her way into the cool crowd, but is that where she wants to be?

Oh, yea....one more key piece of information- Josie is 25 and has never been kissed!

P.S. There's a gorgeous love interest, Michael Vartan, quite worth the eye candy.

Also, this movie has some good featured characters: Molly Shannon, John C. Reilly.

This chick flick is one worth checking out! 

Hump Day Hug #8

Okay...honest moment for today...these hump day hugs are getting a bit...tiresome?

We're not really sure what to call it.

We had this great idea to use a list of 20 Things a Woman Should Live By, but it's too "You're Better Than Everyone Else." Do you know what we mean?

 The list isn't positive enough...if that's possible.

We still want to do hump day hugs and tell you all how awesome you are {because you totally are} so we're going to come up with our own each week instead of using a list.

But, since Cassie is working 4 ten hour shifts this week, she hasn't been available for much planning.

So, to make this all easier, we're just going to post the whole list of 20 Things a Woman Should Live By for your reading pleasure!

Happy Hump Day, Ladies!!!

10 things I hate about you...

If you saw last week's post, you may think we're doing a recurring theme with movies and an underlying Shakespearean plot turned modern. In realty, we just happened to both agree on these two awesome movies!

{via buzzfeed}

This movie stars Joseph Gordon Levitt (sigh), Julia Stiles, Larisa Oleynik (Alex Mac), and Heath Ledger (May your pretty Australian self rest in peace).

 {via pinterest}

The two girls are sisters, Bianca and Kat, and have an overbearing father that won't allow the younger sister, Bianca (Larisa) to date until Kat (Julia) does.

 {via pinterest}

Patrick (Heath) is paid by a popular jerk at school to take Kat out so he can win a bet with his friends that he can score with Bianca.

{via imdb}

Cameron (Joseph) is the nice guy admiring Bianca, waiting for his chance to step in.

There's love, laughter, heartache, and "spoiler alert," Heather Ledger serenades you with his beautiful voice!

 {via buzzsugar}

This is one movie you won't want to miss!! Check out the stimulating dialogue while you're at it. ;)

Oh, the 90s were great!

Happies & Crappies

As long as the rain holds off for the rest of the weekend, Cassie and her husband get to finally have their photo shoot that was rescheduled from August!

Mary was productive this week and applied for quite a few jobs!

Mary also started a new craft, coffee table makeover! (Will post pictures when done!)

Mary & Cassie are going to be participating in the #SwiftlyPainted Self Portrait Challenge starting October 1. {If you're interested, you can read more about it here.}

Mary is back from her whirlwind vacation, and Cassie missed her!

{although, Mary'll probably say being back from vacation is a crappy. ;)}

Cassie is brunette again...and just in time for fall!

Pumpkin Spice Lattes are back.

It's Mary's boyfriend's birthday this weekend!! Yay!! Happy Birthday, babe!

Crappies

Stubborn men.

Hump Day Hugs #6

If you like being single, it's okay to admit that. Maybe you like being alone. Maybe you like just dating and hooking up. Guys like these things, and the world has no problem with it.

 {via polyvore}

Okay. I've got to be honest for second, and I think Mary will back me up. I am not a fan of today's topic and that's mainly because I can't offer much advice or insight into it. I've been married for the majority of my twenties, and Mary's been in serious relationships for hers. So, basically, we're really not the people to ask about being single and liking it. We were both born to be Susie Homemakers; not to be single.

 {via pinterest}

As much as I agree with Cassie (we really are meant to be domestic divas), I have to admit that at the time in my early 20s when I was single I had some of the best times of my life. I found out so much about myself and what makes me happy. I would go on impromptu road trips and go out dancing on weekdays. While I have met the right person now and have no desire to be single again, I wouldn't trade those single years for anything. They were so much fun and made for some great memories. If you're single and waiting for the right one to come along, EMBRACE IT!

However, we can both attest to liking our "me time" - where we focus on us and just step away from everything for a little while, like taking bubble baths and getting pedicures.

{via lol so true}

But, we will say this - try to be positive in your single-hood. I know too many times we focused on the negatives of why we were still waiting on the sidelines, but please look on the bright side!
And, if you ever need some motivation to do that, you can always check out Pinterest. They've got some good ones, and we've picked a couple!

And then, you can check out this awesomeness about being single as told by Jennifer Lawrence, Emma Stone, and Rebel Wilson.

If you're single and waiting for the right one to come along, EMBRACE IT! Go for late night dancing on a Tuesday! Go on blind dates! Have fun!

Help Me. I'm Poor.

Did you guess what our movie is just by our blog title?? 

Please say you did!!!

If not, here's a picture clue. :)

{via pinterest}

Oh, yes. 

We picked Bridesmaids.

Why?

Simply because it's awesome, and everyone should see it with their girlfriends.

Here's why...

Basically, it's got a lot of quotable moments, which gives you even more of a reason to see it. You will be quoting this movie to yourself...to your friends...to strangers. You may also be singing Wilson Phillips and doing a strange dance here and there.

(This movie was one of Rebel Wilson's big breaks)

This movie is just plain brilliant. It's all about the relationships of women when getting ready for a wedding (and in general), and there's a lot of truth to it. Women bring drama, we all know this...but in the end, all bridal parties should be close like this!

Cassie's was!

Oh, and there's a love story in the movie too!

We have to give a forewarning though that this movie is a tad crude -- if you don't like some crude humor, it may not be for you. Imagine a female version of The Hangover -- with less nudity.

Say What You Need to Say

{via Pinterest}

I struggle on a daily basis with trying to be a better person, a less selfish person. 

I would love to lead a life that leads others to being better as well--to be an example. 

It is something I start over every day, choosing to lead my life in a way that I should.  

I love C.S. Lewis. He writes the most spiritually inspirational words.

 There were so many good ones to choose from. 

So I hope everyone else tries to shine today! :)

I never realized how much happiness could change you until I left my previous job.

I certainly had my happy moments while I worked there because I loved working with the kids and creating my classroom world, but it wasn't enough. The stress was too much, and I discovered that I didn't want to live my life with fear and anxiety festering in my body.

I thought about it and discussed it a lot and determined that I needed to put myself before others for once in my life. And, sorry I'm not sorry, it was one of the best decisions I ever made!

I know for a fact that I'm happier, and my body/mind thanks me for that because it's healthier.

So, love yourself, take care of yourself, and find your happiness!

You won't regret it.

I promise.

We Like Big Books

{via annbrashares.wordpress.com/}

I'm assuming several of our viewers are in the same mid-20s age range as Cassie and I are. Maybe not, and if not, that's awesome. If so, I hope you'll remember Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. You may just remember the movies, but the books are incredible. Anyways, what many people do not know is that the author, Ann Brashares, did a follow up book for the series. This book is called Sisterhood Everlasting. For any of you who ever wondered what happened to the best friends later on, this book ties up all the loose ends. It was incredible. I laughed, and I cried a lot. I highly recommend it. If you haven't read the first 3 books in the series, do that first, but definitely read this book! :)

{via megcabot.com}

This is a three part series by Meg Cabot.

Queen of Babble

Queen of Babble in the Big City

Queen of Babble Gets Hitched

I first discovered Meg Cabot when The Princess Diaries movie came out, and I then of course devoured the books. I soon began to tire of Mia's ramblings though and wanted something more adult and less high school. So, I found her books in the regular fiction section.

She has several stand alone books, but I love a good series. And, this one is all about Lizzie Nichols and how her inability to keep a secret always lands her in hot water.

It's fun. It's flirty. And, it's for you!

Cassie was told at her temp job to look for full-time long term employment within the library system because of her stellar performance!
{Yay, Cass!-Mary}

Cassie met a girl at work that she went to a youth retreat with in high school!

Mary applied for 4 new jobs this week!

Mary gets to see her niece and nephews in 6 days!

Mary has a great college friend visiting Sunday!

Mary cooked and baked all day! Very happy with the results: honeycomb brittle, pumpkin butterscotch muffins, salsa, and a breaded chicken with a white wine cream sauce and noodles

Cassie found this awesomely terrible song called Crush that everyone should know about it. She thinks it's comparable to Rebecca Black's "Friday" song.

Crappies 

Cassie's photo shoot last weekend was postponed since the field was wet and muddy.

Mary & Cassie haven't read any books in almost two weeks! :(

Mary doesn't like that it's been raining the past two days straight! Where's her summer sunshine!

Mary's skin is burning from making salsa with jalapeños!-prepare with caution!
