SAG Awards

My favorite dresses were...

Kyra Sedgwick


Christina Applegate


Toni Collette

New Show

So I'm a stay-at-home mom for the next several months. I start my student teaching at the end of August. So I've got about 8 months staying at home with a baby girl! We're working on getting things into a good schedule and I spend quite a bit of time everyday doing stuff around the house or with Isis. But I always end up with at least a couple of hours where I could watch TV & the options on daytime TV are pretty awful. I've decided to start a new show on DVD! I need suggestions! Here are the ones I'm thinking about...

Mad Men
Glee
Smallville
Big Bang Theory

Also, Lewis & I are definitely going to start watching 30 Rock! So - which one of the ones above should I watch? This obviously depends on whether or not my Blockbuster has these. I know they have Mad Men & Glee. I watched the first several episodes of Glee, but I didn't give it a full chance, so I'll probably watch that one for sure at the very least because it's just one season.

What teachers make

Golden Globes...thoughts on the winners

I was really happy that Michael C Hall won for Best Actor in a TV series for Dexter! While I couldn't handle watching the show, I think he does a fabulous job in it and he hasn't ever won even though he's been nominated for the past several years! So I think it's awesome! And I was sad to see he's been suffering from Hodgkin's lymphoma, but happy to see that he's in remission!

I thought Mo'nique's acceptance speech for Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture Drama for Precious was very sweet & sincere. I also loved Sandra Bullock's for Best Actress in a Motion Picture Drama! I think her & Jesse James are really cute & I loved hearing everyone speaking to their spouses! I also obviously think Meryl Streep is just fabulous & I was really excited about her win for Best Actress in a Motion Picture Comedy or Musical! Others I was excited about were Drew Barrymore for Best Actress Mini-Series, Up in the Air for Best Screenplay, Chloe Sevigny for Best Supporting Actress in a Mini-Series, Christoph Waltz for Best Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture & Robert Downey Jr. for Best Actor in a Motion Picture Comedy or Musical.

Overall I was really pleased with all the winners! Click here for the full list of winners.

Golden Globes favorites!

Emily Blunt

Zoe Saldana

These were my favorite dresses at the Globes! I think they both look gorgeous!!

Golden Globes 2010

I'm not live-blogging the Golden Globes this year, but I will be posting about them tomorrow! My 2-week old is definitely taking up most of my time right now! But I will be watching the Globes tonight during her night-time feedings, so I'll post my thoughts ASAP!

Mom Blog

Since this blog is my general blog, I won't be posting too much about Isis on it. If you're interested in reading more about that, check out my mom blog - Ingenue Mom! I've already posted my birth story on it, so if you're interested in reading about 21 hours of labor without pain medication, check it out!

Life Change...

She finally arrived!! Now we're just trying to get used to life with a newborn! If I can get past the hormones that are pretty much making me a walking basket-case right now, I think we'll be good to go! She's a beautiful, sweet little girl who is surprisingly laid-back! We couldn't be happier!
