Day Seven {Favorite Movies}

It has started snowing here in the great state of Utah.  So that means that winter is officially here.  Love it or hate it, it's here to stay.  For someone who doesn't appreciate the snow as much as others, there is very limited things that I can do.  {Maybe one day I will like frost bitten fingers, runny noses and shivers racing through my entire body -- even though I have 5 layers of clothes on....but today is not that day} 

One of the things that I do love to do in the winter time is curl up in front of my TV and throw on a good movie, while drinking hot chocolate, dreaming of a warm fire. {We have a fire place, but it's covered up because the landlord does not want a higher liability...I think it's just plain rude}* I like a lot of movies, but there are a few that I can watch over and over and over again and not tire of.  Here are a few of my favorites. 

There are so many more.  If you want to find out what else there is, go ahead and come on over.  The hot chocolate is waiting for you.

I ♥ The Osborns -- and NY

This past weekend I visited my sister in NYC!  I do this trip at least once a year, and sometimes by myself and sometimes with my family.  This time was a loner trip.  We did the usual -- watched movies, shopped a little, ate a Lucali's with Jay-Z and Beyonce *, and our new yearly tradition -- went to SIX FLAGS!!!! 

Last year, when we all went to NY to celebrate Thomas' 40th birthday, Mariel and I left Husbo, Thomas and the rest of the Maymi Clan behind and headed out to Six Flags.  We had so much fun last year, we decided that this years trip to NY would revolve around going.  And THIS year we had an even more fun time, and have decided that this will be our new annual tradition.  Next year they are opening up a new ride -- THE GREEN LANTERN.  It sounds and looks AWESOME!!!  {You're standing, not sitting}

Okay, back to this year...we bought this thing called a flash pass {read about it here}, but the short of it is that you get a pager and they let you know when it's time to ride.  You literally get to cut in front of everyone to ALMOST the front of the line.  We got to ride all the big rides twice and our favorites about four time.  {For those of you wondering, El Toro and Superman are the faves.}

And I apologize, but I have been to NY so many times, that I didn't take any pictures really, except for at Six Flags.  So here they are....oh I forgot to mention that we made it Mustache Monday...ENJOY

Where should we go next???

I also usually don't ever see famous peeps, but this time we saw Jake Gyllenhaal AND the back of John Mayer's head. {Mariel saw the front and by the time I knew what she was talking about, he had passed and I missed that mug of his...oh well}

I had so much fun, can't wait for next year!!!  GREEN LANTERN HERE WE COME!

Have you ever been to NY?  And if so, what's your favorite thing to do there?

*we didn't actually eat with Jay-Z and Beyonce, but they were sitting two tables away and no one was sitting in between us.  So now we're best friends. : )

MISS YOU!!!

I saw this today and it brought a tear to my eye!!!  I MISS YOU!!!!



Is it cheating if I see this???
