Weekend Highlights

Saturday I finally took the plunge and got my new short, hip haircut! I could not be happier – I feel so light and fresh and modern. I went to the Aveda Institute in Ft. Lauderdale and got my hair cut by my amazing friend, Alana. She’s been busting her butt to learn and perfect the art of hair and I am so pleased with what she did. I was a little nervous about the chunky highlights, but she was so confident that they would look great that those worries quickly dissipated. I feel like a new me and can’t wait to start the summer as a blonde! I’ll let you know if what they say is true and I do have more fun, although with the summer I have lined up already, I doubt I would have anything but!

Sunday night we had our first official party at the house for the season 3 premiere of True Blood! I don’t need to reiterate what a big fan I am of this show, so just suffice it to say that I was excited (& a little nervous about having people over for the first time in our new house). It was such a success! We made it a potluck since we are fridge-less until the 22nd and wow, did people make some yummy treats! Plus, we got some fun party favors and props that really made the night a lot of fun.
My personal favorite was my jug of Fang Banger – an alcoholic concoction of True Blood beverage, Sprite and Vodka. Thankfully, I woke up this morning hangover free, but I did have my fair share of these throughout the night (& I was not the only one).
I also thought the season opener was great and really held our attention (was it all the nice butt shots?) – I am both bummed and pleased that they seem to not be following the books at all, but we have yet to see what they have in store for us the rest of the season. I totally need to get used to those typical True Blood weekly cliffhangers again – how killer was last night’s??

Have a great week everyone!

1. True Blood Season 3

It’s finally here! The wait is over, Truebies – HBO’s hit show (& seemingly everyone’s obsession), True Blood, will begin its highly anticipated 3rd season on Sunday night at 9pm. HBO has teased us for months now with these mini posters (pictured above is the last of the series), character minisodes and plenty of shorts to wet our appetite. I’ve read up until book 5 in the Sookie Stackhouse series, which is what the series is based off of, and if they follow book 3’s storyline (but will probably deviate from), we are going to have a lot to look forward to! What am I most excited for? The introduction of Alcide, the hottie werewolf! Rawr.

I’ll be holding a little viewing party at my place complete with a themed potluck, fangbanger cocktails and fangs galore! VILFS welcome ;)

tumblr_l2oymtz0831qzh0fto1_500_largeI can’t possibly wrap up 6 years of awesome in one blog post, so I will try my absolute best. I’ve already made it clear on this blog before how much this show has meant to me. I have been there from the very beginning – attending the first ever LOST panel at Comic Con 2004 where they screened the entire pilot months before it aired – until the very end. I have grown so attached to these characters that they feel like my friends; my family. I genuinely care about them and their hardships and victories. So knowing that Sunday was the series finale had my stomach in knots the entire day. I didn’t want to say goodbye to my buddies.

Please be aware that the rest of this post will be full of SPOILERS. Please do not click on the link below if you have not yet seen the finale!

Sorry all, I am still recovering from last night’s LOST finale (is it really over?), so there will be no entries for today. But no worries, tomorrow I’ll be back to tell you all what I thought about it.

For now, I’m just going to let it all sink in.

I will tell you this: I loved it.

First off, I’d just like to say that I am so happy with the turnout for both giveaways I’ve hosted the past two weeks. I am especially blown away at the response for yesterday’s Lulu’s contest! I hope to be able to continue to provide more unique and fun giveaways for all of you in the future. I am very proud of where this blog is heading and am not planning on slowing down one bit! So thank you to all my loyal readers, as well as new ones. It makes me infinitely happy to know that I can make others smile with something I have created. :)

1. LOST finale

I cannot believe it’s time. I truly think this is the end of an era. LOST changed television. They made it OK for television shows to make its viewers think. TV no longer has to be mindless entertainment. LOST was a very big part of my life from beginning to end and I am terribly sad to see it go. I have grown attached to all the characters as if I personally knew each and every one of them. But at the same time, I am so excited to see the conclusion. How is this all going to end? I have utter and complete faith that Damon and Carlton are going to serve us up a mind-blowing 2.5 hour finale on Sunday night, but that doesn’t mean I’m not going to cry. A lot. So keep those tissues handy, fellow LOSTies!
ps; Isn’t Libby one of the greatest underrated characters? I love her.
