I was doing my weekly grocery shopping when I saw the big red vending machine at checkout. As a good former Coca-Cola employee, I see a red vending machine and my mind immediately goes to the great taste of Diet Coke or occasionally Barqs Rootbeer. In this case though, the box belonged to a company called Red Box which offers new release DVD rentals for $1 right from your grocery store or the local McDonalds...genious! I've been hearing great things about Freedom Writers and now I have my excuse not to see it as I can now pick up a carton of milk and my movie without having to make a second stop. To make my find even better I learned that if you log onto their website at www.redbox.com they will give you a code to get one movie entirely free! Beautiful!

UPDATE: We got and watched Freedom Writers and it is incredible! Should you be looking for a movie recommendation next time you are wanting a video, I highly recommend this!

Bittersweet

I am so excited about tonights two hour Grey's Anatomy event. I have to say I am really rooting for Alex and Addison although I felt bad for McSteamy last week. Sadly I think I am a fan of Izzy and George too despite knowing what that does to poor Callie and her marriage. Rumors are that she is pregnant? Hmm....sounds like a total soap opera when you put it this way doesn't it? While I am counting down the minutes until 9/8c, I do wonder whatever I will watch once Grey's goes on hiatus for the summer. What About Brian is off and now this?

What Not to Wear

While I am the first to admit I don't watch a lot of tv these days, I do love What Not to Wear so was beside myself when I learned of their recent promotion which allows you to bid on a personal shopping trip in New York with Stacy London. Now the package includes airfare for two, hotel, a $1,000 Visa card and the list goes on. Sadly the bidding has already gone above my budget for such fun adventures but I'm hoping one of you can get it and will bring me as your guest. Wishful thinking?

DecorateME

I am in total decorating mode....me, the house, the list goes on. I would LOVE to be on What Not to Wear and have someone give me a total makeover but am not sure I really qualify at this point...maybe if I start wearing sweats everyday?!?!

With regards to the house, my sweet friends at girls night last night talked me out of the craziness that is white couches at least until the twins are a little older and aren't eating goldfish crackers and other equally stainable things! I did find some great new oil rubbed bronze knobs for our kitchen cabinets and am in heaven with the new look! Now just a few new accessories and curtains for the family room and I think I'll be feeling happier with everything.

One of the things that I'm dying to try but not sure I'm brave enough for are Wall Words. I have no idea what saying I like enough to look at everyday but think it's the coolest concept. I've tried to get the photo to attach about a million times but it doesn't want to cooperate (it's been one of those days already!) so you'll have to trust me on this and just check it out!

Silly but true...

So I hate to admit it but my new favorite show is What About Brian on ABC. The best thing I can say is that I grew up with 90210 and Felicity and this fills the void that they left in my brainless tv slot. Also sadly, I've discovered that you can now watch every episode for free on www.abc.com should you have endless hours to spare. Enjoy!
