Last day for Giveaway!, Nicholas Sparks and GTKYS

Today is the last day that you can enter my DaVinci Beads Drop Necklace giveaway!  Click here for details.  I will announce the winner via my blog and Twitter tomorrow! Good luck to all of those who have entered!




I watched the Last Song last night, and it was a little less gut-wrenching than when I watched it in theaters last spring - but still gut-wrenching, nonetheless.  I love reading Nicholas Sparks' books, love watching the movie adaptations, and apparently, love to feel sad and cry!  I totally think the little boy steals the show (I am completely too lazy to look up who "little boy" is on IMDB.) He's a sweetie!  The Last Song is so worth watching for his adorable performance.  
Speaking of Mr. Sparks, he is headed to West Virginia in October!  My mother-in-law, sister-in-law, and I are planning to attend the West Virginia Book Festival (yes, West Virginians can read!), listen to him speak, stalk him, etc.  I'm taking my copy of his newest book (comes out Sept. 14th!) in hopes of getting an autograph!


I hope you all are having a great weekend.  I've been napping, snacking, reading a little bit here and there, and hanging with the hubs - we went "back to school shopping" yesterday (no, it never stops as long as you're in school - he's 27, it's his last year, and we're still buying school supplies! ha ha.)


Thanks for stopping by today.  And now, it's time for a little bit of my Sunday blogging ritual, Getting to Know You!


1. If you could host a Reality TV show, which one would it be?
I have no clue - a dating show.  Those seem to draw in the most *interesting* people, IMO! Plus, I'm just a sucker for Bachelor/Bachelorette and even the nastier shows on VH1.  (Someone tell me why Ocho Cinco need help finding a girlfriend?)

2. Do you put your seatbelt on before or after you start the car?
I honestly have no idea.  But I always wear it! And sometimes it gets caught on the seat adjuster thingy, and my seat will all of a sudden start moving while I'm driving.  SCARES me to DEATH!

3. Shave or hair removal cream?
Shave - hair removal cream smells nasty!

4. What's your favorite feature in a house?
A tie between the living area and bathroom - I like for both to be cozy, I like to be comfortable when I'm in both of those rooms!

5. What is your favorite "Fall" scent?
I just figured that out yesterday.  I burned a new candle, Slatkin & Co. "Creamy Pumpkin", a new scent for 2010. I. am. HOOKED.

6. What tv show are you looking forward to seeing the most this Fall??
I used to be hooked on Desperate Housewives, but now that I've kinda fallen out of interest w/it, I look forward to Dancing with the Stars the most!  New contestants will be announced during Bachelor Pad on August 30th, and I CANNOT wait!!!  I've heard some great rumors - Jennifer Love Hewitt, the Situation from Jersey Shore, etc.

7. Personal Shopper or Personal Chef?
Oh Gosh, CHEF. PLEASE.  I can't cook worth a d?mn!

8. What is the first word that comes to mind when you think of "Fall"?
FOOTBALL! (GO HERD!)

I recently won my very own piece of DaVinci jewelry from Coppin's Gifts, in a giveaway hosted by my bloggin' pal Brittany @ Living in the Moment.  I had a great time browsing the DaVinci bead collection, and eventually picked a dangling "S" with two matching green foil glass beads to wear on the starter bracelet.  I won over $30 worth of stuff! SWEET DEAL! 

Modeling my winnings!

I received my bracelet and beads in less than two weeks, and Brenda, a fabulous rep from Coppin's, was so fantastic about helping me out and maintaining contact via email.  

DaVinci jewelry is classy, high quality, and fabulous! I absolutely love mine and can't wait to start a new tradition by gifting it to my friends and family! It also compliments other European style beads (like Pandora!)  I'm S-O-L-D!

So... which three beads will you choose to go on your new DaVinci drop necklace?

Post-it Note Tuesday and an evening with ROB

Make your own post-it notes and link up here!

I also want to add that while I'm working on lots of post ideas, I'm still halfway brain-dead from my little beach trip.  All I can really think of right now is an evening with:

AND

So this past weekend, during my post-vacation grocery stock up, I picked up some Ben & Jerry's Chocolate Fudge Brownie and bought Remember Me on DVD.  I'm PMS-ing, and in serious need of these two things.  I feel a girl evening coming up REAL SOON!

Have a great Tuesday and thanks for stopping by! In addition to Post it Note Tuesday, I'm also linking up at Tuesday Follow, Follow-me-back Tuesday, and Tuesday Tagalong!

Can't wait to find some more great blogs and meet some awesome new readers!
