Good Morning girls and guys, I hope everyone had a fab-tabulous weekend! For me, it went by WAY too fast, but then again, what weekend doesn't? I was on the move ALL weekend, as I usually am, but did manage to snap some pics of all the activity. Thank the lord for caffeine and under-eye concealer...these pics would be atrocious without both : )
Friday Night
Friday was a girls' night at the movie. We saw The Lovely Bones and I have to say, I was SO disappointed. I absolutely loved the book when I read it years ago, but this movie was awful. Parts were like a bad acid trip, parts were like a sappy after-school special. I expected way more from Peter Jackson, as I'm a huge fan of the Lord of the Rings movies...sigh...
Saturday
As I mentioned in Friday's post, I spent Saturday morning volunteering at the Fayetteville Children's House with my girls from Junior League! Although getting up before the crack of dawn on a Saturday is SO not appealing, the reward of knowing I did something worthwhile makes me feel all warm and snuggly : )

The Purple Group members vogue it up at Children's House. Work it, girls!
Ever seen my nerd glasses? I only bust em' out when it's incredibly early and my eyes cannot focus. Like, oh, I dunno, at 7 am on a Saturday : )
Lesley B. and Christin looking pretty for the camera!
Shannon and Amanda V.- SUCH sweet girls!Children's House is a non-profit organization that specializes providing therapy for kids that have been displaced from their homes/families and are currently in the foster care system. I've always known that I was incredibly fortunate to have been raised in a loving and supportive family, but just visiting Children's House made me realize that I need to spend even more time counting my blessings.
The fabulous Red Group!
The Green Group LOVES to pose for pictures! Haha!It was such a rewarding day and I cannot wait to go back again.
Saturday Night
I saw Book of Eli, that new action movie with the always-yummy Mr. Denzel Washington. The cinematography in this movie was really cool and there was never a dull moment during the 136 minute running time. Lots of blood, explosions, fighting, etc....not really a girly movie, but entertaining nonetheless. The ending was a little "eh", but overall, it was a great movie with an oustanding cast. Oh, and Gary Oldman plays the BEST bad guy I've seen in a long time.
Sunday
Yesterday was a pretty productive day for this blonde! I finally got the rest of my Christmas decorations taken down, moved my furniture, vacummed AND cleaned out my closet. I even got finished in enough time to tune into Tough Love last night!
How was your weekend? Did you see any good movies? Let's dish!
Some things worth noting this week:
