When you don't have kids, you take pictures of the ocean (if you're me)


Ryan's parents have a pretty cool water camera. It's hard to grasp the quality of the pictures until you actually look at them on the computer. Pretty cool. I smell our next big purchase...

3 Day Weekend

Ahh, 3 day weekend...I so needed you. Work has been tough the last two weeks. We don't have any particular plans this weekend, just doing what I love best. Swimming today (in about 10 minutes). Oneill's Memorial Day Weekend Parking Lot Sale (Shopping + Sale = awesome). Beach and Surfing. Yoga Monday morning. Maybe the movies (although everyone hated Terminator...hmm?). BBQ at mom and dad's - Nonni & Aunt Patty will be in town. The only way this could be better is if I was doing it all in Hawaii! I am SO happy to not work for 3 days.

Something that made me laugh

I saw this article on Yahoo and it gave me a chuckle. Especially the part in red. The story's original tag line on Yahoo actually mentioned that someone found the "super secret" script in the trash...really? Because I bet about 50 million teen girls (and 27 year olds...) can tell you exactly what's gonna happen in the movie. LOL.

Woman finds 'Twilight' sequel script in trash

ST. LOUIS – A St. Louis beauty salon owner accidentally happened upon one of the hottest Hollywood scripts — the pages from an upcoming "Twilight" sequel — in a trash bin.

Casey Ray found two scripts, one for the vampire sequel "New Moon" and one for a different movie titled "Memoirs." She decided to return them to the studio making the films. In return, she was invited to attend the movies' premieres, her lawyer said.

Ray recently was waiting for her fiance to finish work when she spotted two scripts in a trash container. She was outside a hotel where actors were staying during a St. Louis shoot for the upcoming George Clooney movie, "Up in the Air."

It's not clear how the scripts wound up in the bin.

The Clooney movie includes actress Anna Kendrick, who is also in the "Twilight" vampire movie. A spokeswoman for Kendrick, Lisa Perkins, said the actress wouldn't have left scripts lying around.

When Ray found the scripts, she considered leaking them to a national tabloid but decided against it, said her lawyer, Al Watkins.

"My client didn't really want to get paid," he said, but she was interested in hanging onto the scripts as collector's items.

Watkins helped her return them to Los Angeles-based Summit Entertainment LLC, the studio making the movies. He said the studio invited Ray to premieres for the two films, and will certify the scripts as authentic after the movies are released.

"Summit doesn't comment on any of the deals it does," Summit spokesman Paul Pflug said. But he added, "We thank Ms. Ray for doing the right thing."

The "Twilight" movies are based on the novels of Stephenie Meyer, so many of the plot turns are well known to readers. But keeping the "New Moon" script written by Melissa Rosenberg out of the public eye preserves which elements of the book will be included in the films, Pflug noted.

Last year's original "Twilight" film grossed over $350 million worldwide.

I need a good book

I miss reading...I went on a little hiatus while trying to get through The Shadow of the Wind. I'd ideally like nothing heavy or depressing. Something on the lighter side but seriously good. I know Amy had suggested a novel a while ago - about time traveling in Scotland?! I can't remember the name. Any other suggestions anyone?! Thanks in advance!

For those that graduated high school with us...

I just found out today that our reunion will be Oct 10th at Dave & Buster's in Milpitas. Yeah. That's all I'm gonna say about that...

Nevertheless, spread the word :)
