Top Three Postsecrets of the Day

Holiday at the Movies

So, anyone who knows me or my Dad knows that we love going to movies. We used to alternate on which one of us would choose the flick, but now we just go with the flow (and then curse the person who suggested the movie for picking a dud if it's bad). On Christmas Eve, after a Chinese buffet that can only be described as completely terrifying, we went to see Invictus (Dad's selection), which was...interesting. While the acting was great and it was a subject I enjoyed learning about, I thought the rugby scenes went on and on - they could've trimmed it down by quite a bit. Still, as I had no intention of seeing it, I suppose it was better than I thought it'd be.On Christmas Day, we did a double feature - we started with Brothers, which was rather dark (and quite hard to watch with Toby Maguire's hideous hairstyle and gaunt figure) and then ended with It's Complicated, which was the perfect ending to our movie-going trio. Meryl Streep was amazing and the movie was a lot of fun. I wasn't disappointed at all. Loved it. Of course, once it was over we were pretty much movie'd out. I still want to see Sherlock Holmes....

Celebrity Wrap Up - Tuesday Edition

Hello and welcome to Tuesday's edition of Celebrity Wrap Up. Wow, I had no idea that celebrities participated in Ugly Holiday Sweater contests. I wonder if J. Lo won?You know, normally Gwen Stefani can do no wrong, but this coat....um....was she trying for a Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor dreamcoat look? Nothing like casually strolling with your mom down the street and being sure not to draw ANY attention to yourself. Yeah, those furs don't stand out at all.Can I just say that if I ran into Drew Barrymore at the Farmer's Market in LA I might just flip out a little bit?

Oh, Bradley Cooper, you are such a fine specimen of a man. How I love you so.

And Now Back to the Normally Scheduled Blog

My apologies for the lack of updates, as I didn't take my computer to California. Alas, I've been driving all day and just got back tonight, which means I'm quite beat. I'll share details of the trip tomorrow, but for now I'll leave you with this adorable video of Owen and Ava dancing last night. Isn't it awesome? :) Hope you had a great holiday!

Happy (Early) Birthday, McB!

McB was born on Christmas Eve, so I'm sure it's a bit of a bummer to have to celebrate the holidays and your birthday at the time. I would hate that. Last night we set aside a night to celebrate McB and have a fun dinner together complete with McBaby. We had The Pie pizza (delicious), a Baskin-Robbins ice cream cake (yum), and exchanged presents, jokes, and fun. :) As I'll be on the road tomorrow, I wanted to wish McB a very Happy Birthday/Christmas Eve (ha ha).

Pinky's Fandance, Wednesday

Merrill Osmond was one of the nicest Osmonds when I met them after rehearsal last year. Just look at him - doesn't he seem like the sweetest little grandpa ever?

Family Time

Here are some cute pictures from my cousin Netty's house the other night. Doesn't Ginny (my cousin Mike's little girl) look exactly like Cindy Lou Who?

Celebrity Wrap Up - Thursday Edition

Hello and welcome to Thursday's edition of Celebrity Wrap Up. Speaking of big heads....er....wait. We weren't talking about heads being too big for someone's body? My mistake. Mark Wahlberg is such a cute little dad. I love that he just took his son to see Santa at the mall.Lindsay Lohan's checklist before she leaves the house: Horrible black leggings? Check. Way too tall hooker boots? Check. Messy, dry, lackluster hair? Check. Wearing a bra as a shirt? Check. But, you know, at least she isn't wearing that sour puss on her face.Yes, Ryder, thumbs down is what we think of your hairstyle, as well.Can I just say that if I were to see the Jolie-Pitt brood out casually sitting in a restaurant I would probably lose my shizz? Even with that horrid beard, I'd still wig out.

Top Five LOL Cats of the Day

Christmas Cheer?

So, here's a tip in case you'd ever like to get me something for Christmas at some point in the future: I do not care for anything Christmas-y. The only exceptions to this rule are snow globes, socks, and ornaments (and the occasional stuffed animal - especially if it sings or plays a song. I'm a sucker for those every time). Everything else is going to be re-gifted. I'm sorry to be so harsh, but come on. I live in a little apartment. Where's it going to go? All my trees are pink anyway....normal Christmas stuff clashes. I realize it sounds ungrateful and of course I'm happy with the thought of anyone gifting me, but I just wanted to put it out there that the madness needs to stop. Thankyouverymuch.

Pinky's Fandance, Woulda/Coulda/Shoulda Wednesday Edition

Several years ago at Sundance, I discovered the most amazing place to spot celebrities. In fact, it was so easy to get pictures, it almost felt like cheating. I described it as shooting fish in a barrel. I must've gotten around 18 pictures in an hour. Seriously. But the trick was to know who I was getting and stand my ground. Not wuss around. Alas, I did a terrible job at that with Jamie-Lyn Sigler. I totally choked. I'm not sure if we discussed it, but I'm really bad at spotting girls - for some reason they look so different I can never place them. So Jamie was RIGHT in front of me, like an arm's distance away, but I couldn't place her. Had I just said, "Hey Jamie, can we get a picture?" I might've had a chance. But, sadly, what I actually said was, "Jamie?" in a wee little unsure voice. Obviously she didn't hear me and I lost my chance. Now, Heidi's warned me that Jamie's not nice anyway, so maybe it didn't matter, but still. She was RIGHT there! Blurgh.

To Friend or not To Friend?

I never know the rules of friending on Facebook. How do you know who to be friends with? I don't want to hurt someone's feelings, as I hate it when people reject my friend requests. What's the best way to handle it? The other day it was suggested to me on FB to add my ex-mother-in-law as a friend. Do I do this? I don't remember really being friendly with her in real life. We've been divorced for ten years. And, yes, you're probably thinking, "Why would you have an ex-in-law as a friend at all?" Good point. However, I do have my ex-father-in-law, ex-brother-in-law, and ex-nephews-in-law as friends, why would one more be a big deal? On another note, my favorite thing about FB right now is the ability to hide people who have annoying updates. What a difference it makes to not have to see them blather away. I know, I should probably unfriend them, but again, don't want to hurt their feelings. Why am I such a kind-hearted spirit? :)

Celebrity Wrap Up - Wednesday Edition

Hello and welcome to Wednesday's edition of Celebrity Wrap Up. I've gotta admit, this boy is growing one me. He's just so pretty.

How does Posh Spice's itty bitty frame hold up an animal as she walks?Hey Kate - You seem to have forgotten to wear your pants. A.Rod is not going to come running back if you're walking around half naked. I'm just saying.Oh, no. More waving? Jessica should run away with Tom Cruise and they can stand around all day and wave at each other. Get them out of our faces.Yes, Bradley Cooper. I will run away with you. I will have your children.
