Holiday Film

Let me begin by saying my holiday party was a success.
I learned that when you combine good food, great friends and lots of alcohol...you will have a good time.
So if any of you are scared about the party planning process, don't be...it was easy and I'm excited to have another.
Moving on to another holiday themed post...
This is the time of year when families hit the theaters.
Well, last week I went to see The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. Whoa.
This movie is not kid friendly, it is very dark, very deep and I give it two thumbs way up and a high five.
I think even explaining what it's about will give too much away, so I'll post the trailer and leave it at that.

Being Social

The holidays are here, so in an attempt to be cheerful/social I'm having a HOLIDAY EXTRAVAGANZA.

Okay, now the truth...

my boyfriend and I were drinking tequilla on Saturday night

Him: We should have people over
Me: We should have a holiday party !!
Him: it has to be soon, people are making plans fast
Me: Lets do it SATURDAY!!

So here I am having a holiday party in FOUR days. The guest list might hit 10, if i'm lucky but I'm totally stumped on what to serve !
I was thinking of making this
Peppermint Stick Martini

1 peppermint stick, crushed
1 1/2 ounces vodka
1 ounce peppermint schnapps
1 ounce Triple Sec
Ice
1 small candy cane

The thing about parties, you have to be careful what you serve. I feel like serving wine will make people sleepy so you got to hit them with the hard stuff ! I'm thinking of also having beer...just because it's easy and when everyone leaves, I'll have it left over to drink.

I don't know what food to have ! what's a holiday dish!

Please share any advice !

Also, if you have not RSVP'd to my invite...do it!

I Laughed Until I Cried

Okay, I know what you're thinking. "Friends with Benefits" is just another cheesy romantic comedy starring two young attractive people that is not funny. Well you are wrrrrrong my friend.
Just rented this movie tonight and I laughed and then I cried (but that's mostly because I'm a sucker for a good emo ending)
This movie is funny because it's real and it makes fun of the little awkward moments in life.
Check out the below clip and rent it when you have a chance.
The trailer doesn't really do the movie justice because most of the funny moments are too dirty/vulgar/nude for a movie trailer
