I bought my first real pearl necklace today and earrings to match. Apparently Cartier purchased their store on Fifth Ave using a double strand of natural pearls!

It is a gift to moi to show my love and appreciation to myself. I've had some hiccups in life and I've dealt with them with class and dignity. I'm proud of the hurdles I've crossed and the person I am today because of them. I'm not perfect and most probably never will be, but I strive to be the best I can be.

I also bought these as faith symbol that one day I will def be passing them along to my offspring.

Something Borrowed

I was looking fwd to this movie ever since I heard that they were making one from Emily Giffin's first book. I'm such a fan of her books, but this movie was a bit of a let down. John Krasinksi is the best thing abt this movie. He was great - his comedic timing is just perfect. I loved him in The office, he was great in It's Complicated, and he was just awesome in Something Borrowed. I pictured Ethan just like that. Dex was hot, but a little lame-o and his character in the book showed a lot of anguish. The girls were alright and the faulty friendship was shown accurately, but some of the so over the top obvious scenes between the girls made me cringe. Marcus wasn't that much of a clown in the book but in the movie, he came across ridiculously. Eh, I know I'll watch the next movie they make - Something Blue. That's the cross us readers carry cuz we just have to watch the movie to see how it is. lol

ISIS

Osama Bin Laden is dead

I was in college when the events of 9/11 occurred. I was in the computer lab printing out notes when someone said - a plane crashed into one of the Twin Towers. We all rushed out in the lobby and watched the video. I rushed to class and saw not a soul was there..I rushed home to watch the news. None of the normal radio stations were working on the drive home....I watched the news and cried like a baby. The horrific and surreal scenes were too much to bear.
