Saturday morning I woke up with Bruce...and by Bruce, I mean "The Boss". I've been working out to a lot of new music lately, but this time I decided to throw on some Springsteen. There's "Pink Cadillac" and "Born to Run" and don't even get me started on his jeans. If that isn't inspiration to do more cardio, I don't know what is. What can I say? I loved it. I love him. It's nice to have new music, but you definitely can't forget your first love.
Saturday afternoon, I stumbled across an all-time favorite movie: "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof". If you haven't seen this movie you need to. The tension and chemistry between the two leading characters is phenomenal. Paul Newman is dreamy (tortured, but dreamy) and Elizabeth Taylor is amazing. As fantastic as they both are, I've always felt the real star of that movie is Elizabeth Taylor's white dress. It's hard to take your eyes off of.
Someday in the near future, after a few more rounds on the elliptical, I'm going to buy a dress just like this and if I look 1/16th as hot as her in this dress, I'll be set. I have no idea where, or to what event I'll where it, but I'm sure I'll find a party. I always do...
And finally, in a effort to embrace my inner child, I spent a few hours of my Saturday night tubing at Buck Hill with my co-workers. I haven't been tubing since I was little, so I was an accident waiting to happen. I was terrified of flying out of the tube and crash landing, but I hooked up to the tow-rope and hit the hill. My first time down was a catastrophe, I didn't know you're supposed to out your feet down at the end...so, I flew backwards into Jason. Let's just say I'm the proud owner of a size 13 boot print on my thigh. Typically, this is where I would have said "no thank you" to any more attempts but I decided to give it another go. My second attempt was a success! I may be a little banged-up, but I had some good laughs and would absolutely go again.
I had fun re-visiting old favorites. It made me realize there's so many things I want to try for the first or the second time. Here's to going retro, and re-discovering "new things".
*MUAH*
