Have you seen it yet? My sister entered my parents house last Sunday with rave reviews of this much anticipated movie . So, last night, when Mike and I could not get into the last showing of the latest X-Men movie , we decided to see the controversial flick, " The DaVinci Code ." I, for one, would have preferred Harrison Ford as Robert Langdon, if only because Professor Langdon is likened to Harrison Ford in the novel. Tom Hanks was an OK Langdon though. Sophie Neveu was portrayed by Audrey Tautou . Fabulous, I though, and very cute. Alfed Molina was an awful choice for Bishop Aringarosa. I was only waiting for long mechanical arms to sproud from his spine (per Spiderman 2 ). Ian McKellen as Sir Leigh Teabing was nicely done. Good choice. Jean Reno was strong Captain Fache and I really liked his character. Finally, we have dear Silas. How was Paul Bettany in the role? Fabulous. When he lunged from the shadows my body involuntarily leaped from my cushy black chair. I...

As of today, I am editing my blog. Every post that is edited will be noted in the title. This is a very difficult but necessary thing for me to do. Do you notice what I'm editing out?

Thirteen Things that Tiffany is Thinking 1. My arm hurts. I got my blood drawn for the first time today. Well, the first time that I can remember...apparently, I got blood drawn as a baby. It wasn't so bad. But now my arm is a little sore. 2. I have an ugly smile. I got a tooth pulled on Monday. So my smile has a hole in it. It's not very pretty. I cannot wait until the teeth come together. 3. My arch-wires are poking me. It's really annoying and it hurts my cheek. It makes talking a less likely thing for me to do. 4. I cannot believe I'm going on the Pill. Yeah. The Pill. My periods are so crazy, that their putting me on ortho-tri-cyclen. 5. I like my A-cups. Mary's breasts increased two cup sizes when she went on the pill. I don't want the same to happen to me. I like my little breasts. 6. I don't want my body chemistry to change. When you mess with your hormones, that happnes. But I just am nervous (not really nervous...that's too strong of a word...

It's a countdown that is bittersweet. 9 days until June 2nd. I'm excited for June 2nd because camp starts! Yay! I'm excited and nervous all at the same time. I'm worried that I won't do a good job. Camp is such an awesome place, and I cannot wait to immerse myself in that world. I'm also not-so-excited because this means my every-spare-moment spree with Mike comes to an abrupt halt. Terribly abrupt. He'll be in Georgetown doing a photo shoot that evening and then I won't be able to see him again until he leaves for Bangladesh. He'll be there for nearly three weeks. Timing is good though, I suppose. He's gone when I'm gone. A few days after Mike leaves for the 3rd-world, I leave with Dad and Mary for Reno. Drinking and gambling with my sis and my daddy. I must say, I am a bit excited about this. This summer will be really awesome, but it will also suck. Must remember to look on the bright sides. Mike says that this summer will either make us o...

I went to Biltmore on Thursday. In fact, that was what I was going to do my Thursday Thirteen about. But I forgot. (And subsequently on Friday I forgot as well.) I didn't forget my Wordless Wednesday though. See, I was very stressed and frustrated that day. Work has been uber-annoying lately. Alex has just been in a funk, I guess. But I digress. Biltmore Estate up in Asheville, NC. It was beautiful. I have a few pictures that I'll post as soon as Mike gets them to me. But here are some photos from the website to appease you until then. Biltmore House Biltmore Gardens George Vanderbilt's Library The Banquet Hall during Christmas The Winery Inn on Biltmore Estate The tour through the house is a self-guided one. Mike and I opted out of the head phones. So, we were probably missing out on lots of really interesting information. It was already a lot to take in, as neither Mike nor I had ever been up to Biltmore. There was so much to see, all of it so beautiful. I kept walking ar...

No camera handy so you get a string-bean.

Last night was so much fun. Mike and I went on our 'first date.' Haha. You may be confused, but this is true. Last night we went on our first real dinner date. Isn't that crazy? We've hung out a lot and I've cooked for each other a couple of times and the like, but before last night, we had yet to go on a real dinner date. I wore my cute new outfit (pink skirt with black polka dots, black wrap shirt over pink camisole). Mike cleaned up well too ;-) and looked way hot. Mike asked me where I wanted to go and I said: surprise me. So he did. We had reservations for 7pm and when I asked him "Where?" (several times) he replied with, "A restaurant!" We went to Sophisticated Palate which has been described as " one of Greenville's best kept secrets ." It was absolutely fabulous. I highly reccomend it. We stayed for almost two hours enjoying each other's company. An older gentleman (I think he may be the owner) gave us each a drink on ...
