don't do it

Happy Friday lovelies!!!

Lola and I are in San Francisco for the holiday weekend!! (Yep! She made the 5 1/2 hour plane ride with me from DC to SF... in her super new carrier).  She was so incredibly well behaved. It kinda bothered me that the flight attendants made it very 'clear', while I was boarding (2nd person on the plane, I got upgraded to 1st class, holla!) that she must stay in her carrier... or "I'll be in trouble" (yes, that is verbatim what they said). Well, she stayed in her carrier and was an angel. I stuck my hand inside a few times and gave her little belly rubs just to let her know her momma loves her and wishes she could take her out. (I don't think she held it against me, because while we were in the airport, she got to be in my arms! Plus she slept he whole flight)

Promise to share lots of pictures when I get back. We are probably going to play tourist and I hope the weather is warm and sunny!! ;) (No worries, I'm equipped with a jacket, just in case..)

It's no secret, for anyone who knows me. I love to read. I can read a book in 2 days (seriously). I just finished reading 'The Help'. Great book!! 

Well this past weekend, while my sister was in town, we went to see 'Bridesmaids' (it was a funny movie! I normally don't like to see 'chick flicks' {per say} at the theaters, but I wouldn't exactly classify this as that, and I shouldn't judge a film by it's cover). But my point is, I saw the preview for a movie... 'The Help'. I loved the book (couldn't put it down). Coming soon to a theater near you...

Part of why I love to read so much is the pure self interpretation you get from reading a book. And that isn't always portrayed back from a movie (full on geek mode).

Case in point: The Lovely Bones

I say this because The Lovely Bones was A GREAT book. Worse movie! I mean Peter Jackson really hacked that book for me... (plus it was just weird)  Simply put..(Granted I loved the girl who played the role of Susie and I mean Marky Mark was in it!). it really ruined the book for me. Ugh. 

I can go on and on... And there are books that I love... that have become films and I have equally loved the movies!. Example: Harry Potter. Loved them! And I am really excited that the final movie comes out July 15th!! 

I guess my point is... I love to read and I just get really urked when some books are made into movies and really suck. Com'on where's the original content people??? There are a lists of movies that I can name to provide more of a valid point, but I think you get it (at least I'm trying to make you.. haha). Any favorite reads that have turned into not-so-good movies?? 

Feel free to send me any book recommendations!! I love to share my reads and find new books, too! :)
