just as you are

Mark Darcy: I don’t think you’re an idiot at all. I mean, there are elements of the ridiculous about you. Your mother’s pretty interesting. And you really are an appallingly bad public speaker. And, um, you tend to let whatever’s in your head come out of your mouth without much consideration of the consequences… But the thing is, um, what I’m trying to say, very inarticulately, is that, um, in fact, perhaps despite appearances, I like you, very much. Just as you are.

and because I love this movie so much, here’s a bonus quote:

Bridget: Wait a minute… nice boys don’t kiss like that.
Mark Darcy: Oh, yes, they fucking do.

I know; I know. This is pretty much the same thing Harry said to Sally. Sue me. I’m a girl. And the good news is, you like me just as I am. Right? (Lie to me if you have to, I’m okay with that)

Also, who wouldn’t wanna be kissed in the snow wearing nothing but knickers?

Oh Buddy!

Buddy the Elf: I think you’re really beautiful and I feel really warm when I’m around you and my tongue swells up.

I had so much fun with the movie quote yesterday, I’ve decided to post some of my favorites from now until Christmas. Or until I just forget to do it. I’ll be taking bets on which happens first…Christmas or me being too lazy forgetting to do it.

I think I love this quote because it’s amazingly romantic without trying to be. It made my heart swell up the first time I heard it.

You know what else I love about this movie? They sing my favorite wintery song in it!

I don’t know why I love that song so much… but I do. It makes me all tingly on my inside parts. And I actually love this movie. It’s on my holiday must rewatch list. There’s something about Buddy’s naivete and willingness just to go for it that makes me smile.

Hmmmm, what movie will I quote tomorrow?

I command you to buy this book! And if you’re really in the Christmas spirit, you should buy it twice!

BOYFRIEND OF THE MONTH CLUB by (my best friend) Maria Geraci

At thirty, Grace O’Bryan has dated every loser in Daytona Beach. After the ultimate date-from-hell, Grace decides to turn her dwindling book club into a Boyfriend of the Month Club, where women can discuss the eligible men in their community. Where are the real life twenty-first century versions of literary heroes such as Heathcliff and Mr. Darcy?

Could it be successful and handsome Brandon Farrell, who is willing to overlook his disastrous first date with Grace and offers financial help for her parents’ failing Florida gift shop? Or maybe sexy dentist Joe Rosenblum, who’s great with a smile but not so great at commitment? Unfortunately, like books, men cannot always be judged by their covers…

I’ve read this book. It’s warm, funny, and exceptionally well written. It’s the exact kinda book that makes a perfect Christmas gift. It’s the book that will make non-readers want to read. It’s the book you should be buying right now.

Go forth. Purchase. and Enjoy.

Rapid Topic Change!

Okay, so I’m not quite done blogging. Sorry.

Yesterday I posted a clip on Facebook from When Harry Met Sally. It is my 2nd favorite movie speech of all time. (care to guess what my fav scene is? Maria Geraci knows…) Anyway, here’s the speech from NYE scene where Harry tells Sally why he loves her:

I love that you get cold when it’s 71 degrees out, I love that it takes you an hour and a half to order a sandwich, I love when you get a little crinkle above your nose when you’re looking at me like I’m nuts, I love that after I’ve spent the day with you, I can still smell your perfume on my clothes. And I love that you are the last person I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night. And it’s not because I’m lonely, and it’s not because it’s New Year’s Eve. I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to begin as soon as possible.

Yeah. That.

Too bad there are way too many people out there who try to be something they’re not and then aren’t ever really loved for the person they really are.

RAPID TOPIC CHANGE part deux

Local Brewry Diamond Bear tapped their 2nd round of Two Term IPA last week. My thanks to Fishdog, for sharing his six-pack with me. I love me some Hoptastic Beer!

what a difference a week makes

Last week, I had the worst Wednesday ever. ..

Today, I woke up feeling all sparkly on the inside. Did the Sandman give me a Red Bull in my sleep? Did the Sparkle Monkey visit me? Where did all this energy come from?

Oh who cares where all the sparkly goodness came from. I’ll take it.

Last night my nephew started talking about when BITE ME! and LOVE SUCKS! goes to Hollywood to make a movie that he couldn’t wait to go help me cast the movie. He thinks he should be able to play Oz (Ryan’s baby brother). He says he could totally dye his hair red and get freckles for the role.

He’s right. He totally could.

He talks about the books being made into movies all the time. Wouldn’t that be awesome?

Dear Garry Marshall Fancy Hollywood Producer

Please buy my movie rights and make my books into the best movie ever so my
nephew Ryan’s dream will come true. He’s okay if he doesn’t get cast in the
movie, but he has totally made me promise that he gets to walk the red carpet
with me when it premieres.

C’mon dude! Work with me here!

Love,
Melf

You think that’ll help?

Okay, random stuff day.

First off, go see Despicable Me. Seriously. Wonderful movie. Heartwarming. Funny. Fabulous.

Secondly, The Bachelorette is off the deep end. Balls to the walls full of BS and craziness. If you think that show is really “reality” tv, then I want whatever it is your smokin’. Or drinkin’. Or poppin’. Because there is nothing real about that show.

It’s not even fun to make fun of anymore. Bleh.

However, the BACHELOR PAD looks like it’s made of chocolate covered awesome and is dying for me to slice it with my biting wit.

LIE TO ME is one of the greatest shows on earth and nobody should miss it. Yes, it comes on during the first hour of the Bachelorette, but trust me when I tell you, it’s worth watching. I actually think it’s more real than the reality show…

I cleaned my room this weekend. Scary stuff was found in some of the unpacked boxes. Like pictures of me from elementary, middle and high schools. Also some college pics in the late 80s when I had short permed hair and GINORMOUS FREAKING BLUE GLASSES. I don’t even know if I can scan them to show them, THAT’S HOW BAD THEY ARE.

Clementine is pregnant. That little teenaged Tart. She’s not even a year old, and I have no idea where the Tom is hiding because we have 6 acres and I’ve not seen hide nor hair of the horny bastard, but it’s happened. We’re gonna have kittens. So you guys get ready…because depending on how many are born and how many survive…I’m gonna hit you up internets! I’m too young to be a Kitteh Grandma! Would that be GrandKittehMa?

Here’s a pic of the little ho-bag in a box. Because you know cats and empty boxes…

dude! where’s my limo??

Meet the back of Pauly’s head. Okay, his name is Paul but by the end of the night he was Pauly. He was pretty awesome. And hot. And funny. And a really good sport because let me tell ya, we did NOT have our filters with us yesterday. All in all we were very happy to have Pauly carting us around!


Meet the bar. ‘Nuff said. (isn’t this a pretty bad ass picture?)

Me and Dee. This was our “Pretty Woman” moment. Except we’re not Richard Gere.


Here’s half of the group that went yesterday. I didn’t get a pic on my phone of the whole group but a couple of the other girls did. When they send me a copy, I’ll post it.
Sex and the City 2 was fun. It was exactly what it was supposed to be: a Sex and the City movie. If you expect greatness, you’ll be disappointed. If you go expecting to laugh a little and enjoy a really long episode of SATC…then you’ll be thrilled.
We had a blast last night. Thanks again to Big Poppa aka The Sheriff for making it happen. And thanks to Dee for letting me crash with her last night. She’s the best snuggler ever. And thanks again to Pauly for being awesome.
Oh, and someone lost $10 last night and it wound up in my purse. Not sure how…but hey, if you’re short a 10-spot, I have it. If you don’t claim it by 5 today, I’m going to use it to buy my margaritas tonight for Thursday night out….so thanks in advance!

oh humpday, my humpday!

Team BITE ME! took 2nd place last night at Trivia Night…and we have a $25 gift certificate to show for it. We didn’t miss a single question until half-time, where we only managed to get 3 of the 6 states who’s captiol cities start with the letter C. I will go on record right now to say that I argued til I was blue in the face that Chattanooga was NOT the capital of TN. (NASHVILLE! Duh!!) but I was outvoted. Team Swhartz beat us by 2 lousy points. *grumble grumble*

I also want to give props to my son Ian for knowing without a doubt that Gregor Mendel is known for his study of the inheritance of certain traits in pea plants. I’m very proud to know that he actually does listen in Biology. (Geometery is another story…)

I’m having a super cute day today. I think it’s the dress. Every time I wear my green dress, I feel all sparkly. I think I need to go somewhere this afternoon. I don’t wanna waste all this cute just at work.

Next Wednesday is Sex and the City day for me and some of my girlfriends. One of the husbands has rented us a limo and is going to take us where ever we want to go before and after the movie. This way we can drink our cosmos in style and not have to take a cab. He’s the bestest ever.

Well, that about wraps up the humpday chronicles. Anything going on in your neck of the woods?

Yeah. It’s a stormy Thursday and all I wanna do is stay in bed.

Thankfully yesterday was gorgeous and I got to hang by the pool for a couple of hours with my friends. I enjoyed it tremendously.

Okay and let me just tell you, I don’t know when my hair went from a small showing of roots to OH MY DAMN I HAVE ROOTS THAT NEEDED TO BE COLORED 3 WEEKS AGO! Calling Katie-of-the-Hair today.

Did I mention how excited I am about going to see Harry Potter this summer?

I’m also Ogrely excited about the new Shrek movie coming out this weekend.

Clementine the new kitty is no longer pregnant and there are no kittens to be found. I’m sure she was so malnourished when she found us, the babies died. Sad really…but it’s time to get her fixed. Which might put an end to her good mood, but I really don’t care.

Also, I wanna know who on earth is googling Monkey MILF and what exactly you think that is? Do monkey’s have MILFs in their society? Would it be a MMILF? Monkey Mom I’d Like to ….

Alrighty then. That’s about all I got for ya today. Sorry to be so boring, but sometimes a girl just doesn’t have anything to say. No really. It’s true.

Storms are moving in and hopefully will be washing away all this pollen. This will be our first stormy weather in the new casa for me and the boys. Should be interesting. And fun. I’m in the mood for some pissed off weather. Sometimes nothing is better than a good spring storm.

Since we’re working on cutting costs, we have a digital converter box for the TV so we can watch local stations. I’m obviously converter-box impaired because I can’t get the thing hooked up. I have never had this problem before! I read directions. I read diagrams. I try to do just as I’m instructed. SO WHY CAN’T I HOOK THE STUPID THING UP? Hoping my bro will have better luck with it.

Think we’re going to a movie this weekend. Ian wants to see Kick Ass so I’m sure that’s what I’ll be forced to endure watching tomorrow. Unless I can talk him into seeing Date Night. I mean, it’s Tina Fey and Steve Carrell. How could we go wrong with that???

any big plans this weekend?

Mondaze.

funny pictures of cats with captions

It’s Mondaze during the holidaze week of Christmas.

I watched Love Actually 3 times this weekend. Yes, I’m ridiculous. No, I really don’t care if you think I’m a loser. (and can I just say, both of my boys sat down and watched it with me the 3rd time about half-way through and got completely hooked) This confirms my theory that Love Actually is actually Christmas Crack.

I also watched Seven Pounds. What a downer. I had that movie figured out within the first 10 mins yet I couldn’t stop watching. Probably because I love Will Smith but still, it was such a damn downer. And the ending was just so expected! C’mon!

And then there was Survivor which made me very, very happy. I was all about Team Russell until he got all nasty about Shambo last week. Seriously, that man owed Shambo his place in the game. If it hadn’t been for her, he never would’ve made it as far as he did. And instead of giving her the respect she deserved, he called her names and said she disgusted him, etc. It made me ill. While I agree he played an amazingly strategic and very obvious game, and he was total entertainment…Natalie played just as smart but was much less obvious. And it worked for her.

I was happy.

Plus she’s an Arkansas girl, so Woo Pig Sooie!

And on a final note, I’ll be at the Benton Library tonight from 6-7 doing a talk and signing books. What on earth am I gonna talk about?
