Shh.. It's a secret!

I've had this blog since 2008. I'm sure many of you know (if you've followed for awhile) or have heard this story before but I started blogging near the end of 2008. In the beginnings of this blog, I was completely anonymous. Obviously, not so much anymore. I'm fairly sure that anyone could figure out who I am, where I live, where I work etc and I'm basically ok with that. However, I do keep a few things private (ie, my love life). If you hadn't noticed... I barely if rarely talk about it here. Maybe one day I will. 

Anyways so where is this going? When I first started blogging I didn't go out and scream it from the hills. Only a handful of people knew. I mean it's not like the first thing you're going to do when you see people is say, "Oh guess what I'm blogging now, go visit my blog!" No. At least that's not how it happened for me. After a few months, I started slowly letting my close friends know that I was blogging. A few of them are actually now bloggers themselves. Over time I've started letting more and more people in my real life know about my blog. It's a part of who I am, why would I not? But maybe that's just me.

So... the question is, Do people in your real life know that you blog? Or have you kept it a secret and if so why?

Theater Thursday

This week's Theater Thursday featured movie is Win A Date With Tad Hamilton.

Set in rural West Virginia, Rosalee (Kate Bosworth) a cashier at a grocery store enters and wins a sweepstakes to have a date with celebrity Tad Hamilton (Josh Duhamel). When she heads out to California to meet Tad she's amazed at what he's really like in person as is Tad with Rosalee. 

Tad being caught up in his own celebrity and somewhat unhappy begins to see real life and what he's been missing. Tad jumps a plan and heads to West Virginia. 

Starting out as friends Tad begins to court Rosalee much to the dislike of Pete (Topher Grace) who is Rosalee's boss. Pete who's harbored feelings for Rosalee realizes he has some stiff competition in Tad and quickly learns he'll have to figure out a way to win her heart. 

This movie is super cute and funny. If you've never seen it you really should try it out!

Popcorn FAIL!

Let me set the scene for you: Chilly night, cuddling up under some warm blankets, watching Dancing with the Stars.What could make the evening better? Oh, some yummy, warm popcorn. Right? Right! Wrong...

It all started out so simple. Grab the bag of popcorn, pop it into the microwave, press the "popcorn" button and wait for the beep. Oh... we heard the beep alright. 

Have you ever bought the mini bags of popcorn? Well I have. In fact I prefer them to regular size bags of popcorn because it's more of an individual size serving. That way if you fix a mini bag you don't have the left over popcorn to shove your face with that really doesn't need to be ate. 

So last night while watching Dancing with the Stars (Go Pam!), I decided that I wanted some popcorn. No big deal, those mini bags take no time. I ran into the kitchen on commercial, took it out of the plastic bag, threw it into the microwave and pressed the popcorn button. I heard DWTS come back on so I went back into the living room because hello, I couldn't miss the results!?! I knew the popcorn would stop on it's own hello that's what the popcorn button is for so I knew I wouldn't have to worry about it burning. 

The results started getting intense. You know how they do it. The red lights, the split screen, will it be Nicey or will it be Jake!!?!? Then I start to smell something rank. Oh no

The popcorn that was in the microwave is now reeking of black burntness. I can see the black seeping from the bag as I run towards it. In my rush to fix yummy popcorn,I had forgotten that mini bags take less time than the bigger bags. Hence by pushing the popcorn button, I sent that popcorn into it's death. Ooops! 

So let that be a lesson watch your mini bags like a hawk!
