a few days of firsts

The past few days have been some exciting ones for me. I've went, saw, ate, and drank all kinds of new stuff. And I think I should share ALL of those things with you. Especially since I'm having severe writers block today.

1. Take me out to Suggins'

Last Friday my gracious cousin took me and boyfriend out for dinner as a belated Christmas gift and the boy did not disappoint. He took us to a place here in Lexington called Suggins. It's a local joint so check it out if you're ever here. I had never been to or heard of this place before which made it double exciting. I don't know about you guys but the local joints special to your town are some of the best places to get your eat on at. So homey and good cookin'. This girl was in a food coma from a hot brown when she left. What are some of your favorite local restaurants?

2. Smoothie Lovin'

I have always loved smoothies. Who doesn't? But, this weekend I found this place via my iPhone and it is uh-mazing! It is called Tropical Smoothie Cafe and there is, lucky for you, locations all over the place. Check it out and love it like I do. It is never to cold for a smoothie. Trust me!

3. George and Ryan

Also this weekend I rented the Ides of March movie. The main reason that I wanted to watch it is because it was an hour and some change of nothing but George Clooney and Ryan Gosling. Basically I could've muted it and it would've been worth the $3 I spent to rent it. But in reality it was an OK movie. Kinda slow but good. I will say that the movie poster picture is one of the neatest I've ever seen. Has anyone else seen this movie? I also realized that this was the FIRST movie I've ever seen with George in it. Crazy!

Before I let you go I just have to tell you a few quick things:

1. I got accepted into 4paws. Puppy this weekend. Happy Dance.
2. Twilight Breaking Dawn (Part 1) on February 11. Happy Dance again.
3. Did anyone see Reese Witherspoon at the Academy Awards? Best Dressed. I'm jealous. That was awhile back I know.

  1. I wanted to see The Ides of March for Gosling... man, he's worth watching even if the movie sucks. I'm so excited for when Breaking Dawn comes out!! I sadly didn't see it in theatres and have been patiently waiting for it to hit red box... SOON!!

  2. you're SO right. and he is definitely good looking in this one. he can wear dress pants and a button up better than anyone I tell ya. And, I bet you are dying concerning Twilight. I know I would've been nuts by now. You're in for a treat though .. amazing!

  6. Oh my gosh! I cannot believe you have never seen a Clooney movie!!
    That's so crazy. I can't believe Breaking Dawn comes out on Feb 11!
    There are SO many things going on during that week and the one after
    (well, for me anyways!). And in all honesty, when you told me the name
    of that restaurant I was kind of grossed out, it sounds a little weird
    (maybe because it makes me think of 'slugs') but I will totally take
    your word for it being good. I know how a girl is about her food. :)

  8. I was shocked myself. A little disappointed in myself really. And, I'm almost as excited for Twilight to come out on DVD as I was to see it in theatres. The restaurant does have the weirdest name .. but SO GOOD. You'll have to eat there and see for yourself. Just tell yourself it's called something normal.
