Things I am loving right now

1) The FLAIR app on FaceBook - Ok, seriously? How simple is this? It is basically an online cork board that you can put different buttons on. You can pick your own flair, people can send you flair, you can send them flair back. It is simple, yet amuses me every day. It is a great way to express yourself without really having to think too hard - you see a button that exudes "you", click "add" and voila! I have a lot of flair and am running out of room on my cork board - that is my only complaint.  

2) DVDs - I have always loved movies and DVDs are not new to me. I don't live under a rock. But, with Summer programming on TV (BORING) and Jay and I being cuddle bums, we have watched a lot of movies that would have normally sat on our shelf un-open. It is a great way to spend time together and also get to know each other better. We like to somewhat discuss the movies afterwards, no matter how fluffy they might be! 

3) StyleMePretty, ArtofLove, TheBrideCafe, PinkCakeBox and random other wedding blogs - I am having so much fun planning our wedding. So far there has been minimal stress. And, I have stumbled upon some of the most beautiful work ever. Weddings can be so truly tacky, but they can also been stunning. There is so much work that goes into a wedding - if you have not been married or are not in the biz, you most likely would not think twice about it. BUT, us brides know what's up. These blogs have amazing photography, design ideas, color palettes, attire, cakes, everything! If you ever need to just relax or get some creative inspiration, I totally recommend these sites. Even if you are not into something wedding related, it is just amazing to see what people come up with. You can give someone a color scheme or a theme and they can create a whole new world with it. Simply gorgeous. 

4) General Tso's Chicken - Hahaha, yes, as in the Chinese dish. We found a great place by us (Precious Chinese on Hamburg Turnpike in Riverdale - what what!!) that makes it delish every time. I feel like we have it every night. It is just that good. 

5) Old Movies - the classics - Some faves: Casablanca, Rebecca, The Women, Streetcar Named Desire, An Affair to Remember, Sabrina. The costumes are gorgeous. The stories are timeless. The acting is over-the-top and superb. There comedic timing is impeccable. And there are no crazy special effects, or green screens, or $10000000 budgets. Movies the way they should be - telling a story through the characters. The actors make it work, not the post-production teams adding everything in.
