Anne-Reaghan and Graham....

I have literally spent HOURS trying to figure out how to edit, resize, etc. videos from my new video camera. It's been beyond frustrating. I finally figured out how to do some cropping of a video and wanted to share with y'all one of my favorite moments from Christmas. Please keep in mind that Anne-Reaghan is usually shy and doesn't really like boys.

Could This Day Get Any Better?!

I'm pretty sure that my "lunch break" was up about an hour ago but there is just so much I need to share today. So on my way home from VisArt I almost caused in accident when I yelled at Frank "Turn left! Turn left!" I'm pretty sure he thought something was very wrong, but no just the opposite...something was very right. Right before my eyes I saw a TCBY sign on Montford. I thought I was seeing things, like a mirage of water in the desert when your thirsty, well this was my ice-cream mirage because I hadn't had any in like two days. Frank would probably have appreciated some sort of explanation to my commotion but I was literally speechless...all that would come out was "Turn Left!" So for those of you who were in the dark like I was TCBY opens on Saturday, March 19 AND it's free yogurt day!! I'm pretty sure this will be somewhat like the UNC vs. DUKE game where Duke students camp out to get tickets. I'm in the process of looking for a tent because I'm serious about TCBY. No more tart yogurt for me!

My New Obsession...

So I'm very behind on watching the TV series "Friday Night Lights." However, I have been watching season one for the last couple of weeks and I'm officially OBSESSED. It became a problem on Monday night when I stayed up until 2AM watching 4 episodes and then not wanting to get out of bed on Tuesday.

I love Lyla and Tim...yes I've read spoilers and I know I will be disappointed. However they are together forever in kateland.

I LOVE Tim Riggins.

Anyway back to the point... my new obsession is VisArt Video in Charlotte. I have driven by it SO many times and I had never been in before last night! I was attempting to stream FNL through Wii/Netflix at Frank's and his internet SUCKS, and I couldn't wait to watch the next episode. I knew that Blockbuster on East Blvd. didn't have it in stock from a previous experience so I called VisArt...they had it. I love independent movie stores, like Video Review in Greensboro, and this one is great. There is a huge "classics" section which I love. You can take dogs in. AND you can rent VHS movies. (This is very important to me because I have a DVD/VCR player, and I refuse to quit watching VHS movies) So if you live in Charlotte you should go because it's awesome, and they have a great selection and a friendly staff. Yes I also have Netflix and a Blockbuster account, but I'm too impatient to wait for Netflix and Blockbuster has a horrible selection these days.

Here's the website: http://www.visartvideo.com/

Here is a picture of VisArt. I know you may be skeptical like I was because it looks rundown but I promise if you love movies then it's worth the trip!

Puppy of the Day!!

Please notice that the puppy of the day is an AIREDALE!!!! AWWWWW. His name is Higgins.

And here is my Airedale...Lucy Lou. Of course she is guarding the stove to make sure no food falls on the floor.

Style Icon: Rachel Bilson

The other day I was thinking about who I would consider a "style icon," and while there are many people whose style I love, Rachel Bilson popped into my head as being my favorite. I'm not sure if it has to do with my past obsession with the O.C. but I love her. Here are some of my favorites. I like her because I feel like I can look at one of her outfits and possibly afford something she's wearing.

Look at that cute puppy!!! What a great accessory...

Caroline check out those nude shoes...LOVE THEM!

She is completely responsible for starting my OBSESSION with these See by Chloe clogs...

I think that if Kelley, Frank or anyone else had to hear about how I HAD to have these clogs one more time there probably would have been a problem. I LOVE LOVE LOVE these shoes. I had a hard time deciding which color (Rachel has black) but in the end decided this color was great with jeans. They are so comfy and I have seriously worn mine out...I'm missing like 4 studs and have a piece of chipped wood. But I love them and can't get enough.

One of the missing studs...

The missing wood.

Now if Kelley will let me borrow her Chanel purse I will be good to go...

I'm going to put up another post about Rachel later.... Maybe I can recreate her outfits on me....HAHAHA. jk.
