I went by myself to the movies tonight. And it was fun. I was surprised by that because I had never been to the movies by myself before. I was fearing that I would feel pathetic or lonely because I didn't have a companion. But it felt great that I could just be in my own company and feel comfortable with that.
It made me realize how many other people were there by themselves. What was their story? Were they alone because they wanted to be or because they had to be? I'm not sure.
It probably helped that the movie that I saw was really good. Georgia Rule. Yes, the movie with Jane Fonda and Lindsay Lohan. I didn't really know what to expect from the movie. I had a vague idea of what it was about - it was chick flick - that is enough information for me to go see it :) I'm pretty easy to please when it comes to movies but I felt that the story and the acting were really good. Go check it out :)
So I'm having a pretty good night :)
Its been quite a few weeks since I've had a weekend to myself - and I love have people visit me and I love even more to go home, but I have to admit that I needed this weekend to regroup.
Last night, Jenna and I went and saw In The Land of Women. It just convinced me more that I actually do have a "type" when it comes to guys. I love tall, skinny, dark haired guys and there is nothing I can do about it haha. Adam Brody is so cute and so funny in a dry humor kind of way. But not only is he good, I really enjoyed Meg Ryan in this movie as well. I don't want to give it away if anyone happens to go see it, but it is a chick flick - if you are into those kinds of movies get ready to laugh and maybe even shed a tear (i did - i'm a sap - don't hate me for it).
Hopefully next week I can get some people to see Disturbia with me - I heard it was good - has anyone seen it??
So, this morning I had my first ever eye exam. It was a lot less scary than I had anticipated. Shout out to Dr. Ebert - she was awesome. Of course, she'll never see this - but she was super nice. If you are in Tally and need an eye exam (I know, random), go see her! She asked me if people ask me a lot of I wear color contacts and I said no - and she said well you have a beautiful eye color. Made me feel pretty good :) Turns out I have a small astigmatism in my right eye (probably cuz it runs in the family, thanks mom ;) love you) but not enough to make a big enough difference with glasses which makes me feel relieved.
Feeling good after my eye exam, I did what any girl (like me) would do - went shopping! The only reason this story is blog-worthy is because I bought jeans from Charlotte Russe for $4.99 each!! I am self-proclaimed shop-a-holic but I am an expert bargain finder. If you need to shop, and you are on a budget - let me know!! (hmmm, note to self: make a business plan to be a consultant for bargain shoppers haha).
Moving on....
My Mom and Dad are coming to Tallahassee the beginning of next week!! I'm sooo excited! It has been such a long time since I've seen my Dad and I miss him so much. I know that the visit will be too short but I'm really looking forward to spending time with my family, all of us - even Sammy! :)
Now I'm just relaxing for the rest of the day before my brother's concert. I should work on my essays for grad school - give me some motivation :)
