The Oscars

I'm sure that all of you are tired of hearing me complain, so let's move on to something a lot more fun, shall we?

I was so excited to watch the Oscars last night. Because of my slight severe obsession with celebrities, I just can't get enough of awards season. And, of course, I loooove looking at all of the beautiful actors dresses. :)

My favorites

This was my favorite dress of the night. I thought Mila looked simply perfect. I'm normally not a huge purple fan, but she rocked this lavender.  

I looooove Anne's red carpet dress.

Halle Berry looks stunning as always. I'm not totally in love with the bottom of the dress, but she can somehow pull it off.

It seems as though everyone either loves or hates this dress, but I thought Gwenyth looked incredible!


Hailee Steinfeld is so adorable!!! She couldn't have looked better last night. Not to mention, she also designed this dress!?

I love Natalie Portman. I was not a fan of her SAG Awards dress, but I thought this gown was lovely on her baby bump.


And, my favorite person ever. She is just. so. cute!

Now for the not so good...

Oh, Nicole! What did you do! You are so elegant and classy, yet you chose this awful thing that makes your hips look huge. Sad day for you.


This is just weird.


And I know people love this dress, and I do love parts of it, but I'm just not a big fan of the 'framing of the chest'


Melissa Leo annoys me to no end. Her speech was annoying. And she stole Kirk Douglas's cane! I'm pretty sure he needed that!

And finally, James Franco. He annoys me, too. He seemed high, and very aloof. It bothered me. Not a fan! I don't think he had anything to offer as a host, and poor Anne Hathaway seemed like she felt that she had to overcompensate for him. I like her and overall, I think she did a good job, but she was just a little too goofy for me...

I want Hugh Jackman back!

YES PLEASE!

Change of Plans

This weekend is going to be a little different than planned. (I promise this is the last complaining, whiny post from me!)

I have been looking forward to this weekend for a while. I was signed up to be a "personal shopper" at tomorrow's Share the Dress event. I was sooo excited about this, not only because I have a weird love for prom dresses, but I was so looking forward to helping these girls find a dress that they would feel beautiful in. Since I can barely walk to the bathroom without getting winded, I had to cancel :-(

Saturday night, I was supposed to have a girls' night with two of my BFFs from high school. Suzanne and Rachael are two of my favorite people and we just don't get to see each other enough. We were planning on going out to dinner in Decatur then having a good 'ole sleepover, complete with dessert and a chick flick. But once I came down with this evil sickness, we decided it would be best to reschedule since they can't enter the quarantined area that is our apartment.

And last but not least, my mom was supposed to come spend the night on Thursday night and bring my precious dog, Deuce, with her. My parents are out of town for the weekend, and I was SO EXCITED to have Deuce all to myself for the weekend! But, my parents were afraid to come near us so, no Deuce for us! Not that I can blame them...I called my mom every time I felt like crying this week so she knows just how fun the flu was for us.

Instead, this weekend will be full of movies, naps, Tylenol, and cough drops. Thank goodness for Netflix! :-) Speaking of, I just watched Avatar yesterday for the first time...I loved it! Can't believe it's taken me this long to watch it! We also saw Red this week...it was great, too!

Anywho, hope y'all have a great weekend!

Bacon Fever

Day 3 of the flu for me, Day 4 for Doug.

(Get ready for some major complaining...)

We found out, I can't remember when, the days are all running together now, that one of Doug's co-workers has the swine flu...so we're thinking that's where we got this from. Doug calls it Bacon Fever.

It is mis.er.a.ble. I couldn't move/get out of bed yesterday until late afternoon when I finally threw up. (Sorry this is so disgusting) I had been nauseous for hours and I did feel better once I finally did it. My fever was up to 104 all day yesterday, which scared us a lot. We called the doctor to see if we should go to the hospital but apparently that's what he expected to happen....thanks for letting me know, Doc! I was feeling so terrible yesterday that I didn't even want my computer...that shocked Doug. I am a computer-holic. He said he would come in the room and I would just be staring at the wall....for hours...this is definitely the sickest I have ever been.

And today, I woke up with no voice! I can whisper, but when I do, I have this violent little cough that I can't seem to stop. My fever is down today between 100-101 and it's the best I've felt since Sunday.

Poor Doug isn't feeling so great today. He's really dizzy so he's sleeping right now. Luckily, his fever is down.

Needless to say, we will both be getting the flu shot next year!
