Happy Hour

Happy Friday friends! I hope you all had an absolutely fantastic and wonderful and fabulous week. But no matter how fantastic and wonderful and fabulous it was, I'm sure you are all very excited for the weekend! I know I am...Friday could not have come soon enough.

Tonight is my dear friend Kevin's birthday, and we are having him over tonight with a few other friends for fish tacos. We'll probably be drinking some delicious margaritas tonight {because, what else do I drink?!} and we may or may not be trying absinthe this evening as part of my 101 in 1001 list. Why absinthe, you ask? Well, I have no idea.

This week was quick and uneventful. I didn't do much, just the typical Tuesday night trivia {we lost}, Wednesday night dinner with my husband {pesto salmon, green beans with tomatoes, mashed potatoes}, and dinner with my best friend last night. My husband is exceptionally busy these days, and doesn't get home until after eight on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday, so my weekdays can get pretty lonesome. But it's not for forever, and the quarter will be over and summer here before we know it.

We have almost no plans for this weekend, other than dinner with friends tonight. My husband is babysitting tomorrow night, so I'm taking advantage of the opportunity to be alone with the computer and write for a few hours. We'll see how it goes!

Sometime this weekend, however, I need to go to the movies. You want to know what movie I absolutely need to see in the next two days?

It's not Jane Eyre, though I am so excited to see this sometime soon. ]

It's also not Source Code, which I've been hoping to see for a few weeks now.

No, it's not either of these movies. It's also not Arthur {though I do love Russell Brand and want to see it at some point} and it's not Hop or Rio or any children's movie.

I hate scary movies. I do not watch them. But that hasn't always been the case. You see, when I was younger {oh so long ago <---- sarcasm}, scary movies weren't only gore and blood and shocking the audience with scary things. They actually had a point. The best types of scary movies are the ones that can scare you without flashing images of nasty things on the screen.

Now, I know that Scream isn't exactly the epitome of a psychological thriller, but it was still a part of my adolescence. I owned every single Scream movie on VHS, and used to watch them constantly. Along with The Ring {remember that one?! I still get nightmares...}, and the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Amityville Horror and The Omen. Any Steven King movie fits in there too {my favorites are Pet Sematary and The Shining}.

But then came along Jeepers Creepers and Saw and Hostel and The Hills and Have Eyes...I could go on and on and on. Anyway, I'm interested to see how they do Scream 4. It's such a silly concept with such a silly villian. But I love it. They better not eff it up.

And you know what movie comes out next week that I am just dying to see?!?!?! {so freaking excited, if you haven't noticed...}

Not only do I have the biggest crush on Robert Pattinson {don't judge}, but I actually really enjoyed this book and can't wait to see it on the big screen. I think I might make my husband take me on a date next Friday night...

Anyway, do any of you have big plans for the weekend? Or are you planning on relaxing and maybe just going to a movie or two {or, in my case, buying Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 and watching it on repeat}? Whatever you decide to do, I hope you all have an incredible weekend full of love and laughter and friends and family and food and drinks and everything in between.

Before I go, here are just a few things that I've found this week to share with you.

I'm obsessed with burlap, especially for weddings. 

I love the Food Network, but it's going to get even better soon!

You know how much I love everything Paris.

I need yellow shoes for my friends wedding. What do you think? Any suggestions for where I should look?

Happy Friday friends.

We do happy hour all day on Fridays. Because it's five o'clock somewhere, right?

What are you drinking today?

Happy Hour is my weekly blog party, where we get to meet new friends, find new blogs to read, and destress from our week.  We're all busy ladies and sometimes we just need to get out with some friends, chat, and have a drink.

How to enter the party:

1. Must be a follower of Love is Home to participate. If you aren't already a follower, just click that "follow" button over there to the right.
2. Scroll down to the bottom of this post and click on the link to enter. 
3. Add your blog's information and button. 
4. And you're done!

How to play:

1. Write a post about anything you want to write about. Do you need to vent about a stressful week? It's okay, we all have them and that's what we're here for. Vent away. Did you have a fantastic day? We want to hear about that too. Or do you have big plans for the weekend? You know what to do...
2. Visit two other blogs linked below and leave a comment, saying that you are from {Where We Love} Happy Hour.
3. Come back and leave a comment below telling us who you visited and any wonderful new blogs you found.

But there are some rules...

1. Don't post and run...that's not cool. And if you do, your link will be deleted.
2. I thoroughly dislike "copy and paste" comments...you know, the ones that say "I'm a new follower from Happy Hour, I would love for you to follow back..." blah blah blah. Don't do it, please. I don't want to have to delete a link for doing that either. The purpose of this is to find new blog friends and support each other. We like authentic followers, ones that actually enjoy our blogs and aren't blindly following a bunch of blogs in hopes that they will gain more followers. 

And if you want, you are welcome to use one of my buttons in your post!
