Little Orphan Annie.

September 26, 2009

Last night, while babysitting one of my favorite families, I got to watch Annie. Good ‘ol Annie. Gosh I love that movie. I loved it back when I was 8, and I still love it today. I hadn’t seen it in probably over 10 years, maybe more, but I still remembered every single word to every single song. Some things just never leave you. And I wasn’t the only one singing along. The kids I babysit for know all the words too! Their awesome! Even the little 5 year old was singing along with Miss Hannigan. Priceless. I need to add pictures here of these kids because first of all, they are just seriously so adorable and secondly, it will just add a visual to the image in your head:

Can you imagine it? All of us in front of the TV, singing our hearts out to “It’s A Hard Knock Life”. So much fun. And I got paid for this. Amazing.

For a trip down memory lane, here’s a clip of my most favorite part in the movie:

L.L.Bean: town and field tote.

September 24, 2009

I got this l.l. bean tote for my birthday (thanks, MOM!) and so far, I love it.

1. It’s practical.

2. It’s sturdy.

3. It’s spacious.

4. It’s CLASSIC.

I have only been using it for a couple of days, but I have only positive things to say. I only need to carry one bag around now- it holds EVERYTHING. Plus, it’s much nicer looking than a canvas tote. And its wears nicer too. Carry around a Vinyard Vines tote for a few months and it starts to look like a dog chewed it up. This leather tote on the other hand will only get better with age. You can buy your own AWESOME leather tote by clicking here: You will love this bag!

good for you, Ben Linus.

September 23, 2009

I just found out via the Bonnie Hunt Show that Michael Emerson (aka Benjamin Linus) won an Emmy for Best Supporting Actor in a Drama. GO LOST! This guy pretty much acts the same way in real life as he does on the show: VERY awkward. He had the same slowness to his voice and the same eye-bulging moments as Ben does when interviewing with Bonnie… there were some parts of the interview that reminded me so much of Ben that I actually shuddered with fear. But surprisingly, in the end, he won me over with his goofiness. Kudos to him for winning! Love that show!!!

Cuttyhunk.

September 21, 2009

This past weekend Zan and I went out to the Elizabeth Islands, off of Cape Cod. I’d never even heard of these islands before this summer and neither had Zan. When we were in CC my mom asked Zan what they were and when he realized he didn’t know he looked them up to find out. After doing some research we decided to take a trip out to the last island, called Cuttyhunk. It’s very small and only has about 50 or so year-round residents. More people inhabit the island in the summers, mostly in July and August. Since it’s the end of September the island was VERY quiet, but also very relaxing. It’s one of the most serene places I’ve ever been. There is one market (open 10-12 and 3-5 daily), one souvenir shop, and one place to eat. That’s it. Oh, and there are no cars… everyone drives around in golf carts. It’s so awesome. We had a great time walking around the island (found a little one room school house!), exploring the beach front and enjoying the ocean view from our little cabin at Pete’s Place. We ate at Bart’s Cart for lunch both days and bought lobsters for dinner on Saturday night. YAY! It was a great weekend trip, the perfect way to end summer, and so easy to visit from Boston!
