Somebody Sat On Me Again

Today's chick flick is brought to you by The Princess Diaries.

We have no words to describe the love we have for this movie. It is epic and humorous and just down right perfect for a day with the girls. We'll let the moments speak for themselves.

Our favorite scene! Because we've definitely all had moments like it.

And, if you're interested, you can read the books. They're different from the movie so prepare yourself, but they are still wonderful. The author Meg Cabot also writes adult fiction too, and we love those books!!!

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! 

More Than Words

First things first...

I hope your morning felt like fall because ours sure did!

This healthy lifestyle is definitely something you have to wake up every day and choose to follow. Having to make the right choices when out to eat or out on the town is tough. It helps that I have Cassie sending me reminder posts of why we're doing this and to make good choices. This is why I chose this quote this week. We've only just begun, but we're going to keep it up!

{via pinterest}

This is my quote for the week in reflection of what I accomplished last week through healthy eating and daily exercise. I have to remember {read as: remind myself multiple times a day} that if I have a goal, I need to do something about it. The goal is not going to achieve itself sitting all nice and pretty on the shelf. 

So, Mary and I have made it thought week one of our new and improved lives. The honeymoon phase of working out and making good choices is over. Now, it's time to get down to business and stay committed!

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.

 {via f*** yeah movie club on tumblr}

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. ;)

 {via those were the 90s on tumblr}

Oh, the 90s were great!

Happies & Crappies

Happies

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.

Spiders, especially ones in your bathtub. {Not cool!}

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.

{via buzzfeed}

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!

Something Nice to Say

Did you miss us??

We hope so!!

And soon, you and I might be able to coerce Mary into telling us all about her adventures across the pond!

In the meantime, here are this weeks words of wisdom.

{via Pinterest}

I can't begin to describe how true I find this quote. No matter what happened in the past or what we've dwelled on, life keeps going on around us. Life keeps moving on whether we choose to or not. So...embrace it! Move past it!  Life goes on and so do we! 

{via sunshine and pearls tumblr}

I had a completely different quote picked out for today, but I changed my mind this morning because this is how I know I'm going to be today. Our AC went out...again so I'm cranky from lack of sleep, & I had to go to Lowe's at six this morning. I feel like that would make a great opening to a joke...or a horror film, you choose - "A woman walks into a home improvement store at 6 a.m."

But, I digress. Some days you know are going to be bad. Or, maybe you know the whole week is going to be terrible. Instead of going for the age old mantra "Grin and Bear It," choose this delightful, lady-like rendition! I know I'll be chanting it to myself all day today! Care to join me?
