My 2007

As 2007 comes to a close here is a list of my favorite and not so favorite things of 2007.

Books I Loved-
Suite Francesse, Eat, Pray, Love, Into the Wild


Books I Hated
Twilight....yes I do know I am the only person in the whole country who thought this book sucked......sorry. He is an 80 year old vampire in love with an 18 year old girl why is this disturbing only to me?

Movie I loved
My favorite movie was on PBS. I was so touched by The War. Ken Burns is amazing.

Movie I Hated
Across the Universe. (don't tell April I totally dragged her to this movie and then pretended to love it )

New Music I Love
I downloaded a couple of Earth, Wind and Fire songs. Who would have known.......


And of course I love this song......


Norah Jones American Anthem

Favorite Trip-
Napa Valley in the spring. Great little 2 day work trip. Drove to vineyards and the Sonoma Coast.

Worst Trip -
Trip to SLC for the Outdoor Retailer Show.....blah

Greatest Dissapointment
Not going on our China Trip

Greatest Joy
Seeing how much fun my parents had getting ready and going on their trip to New Zeland.

That's funny you just blogged about "Eat, Pray, Love". Brandon's chef just told him to tell me to read that book. She said it is excellent. I'm still planning on borrowing that other book we talked about at lunch!

You totally crack me up! I love reading your blog. For some reason I totally thought my name would be in your favorites...but for some reason it wasn't...WEIRD!!

Ok, so I bought Eat, Pray, Love yesterday and started reading it last night. I CANNOT put it down. I want to move to Rome, live in a little apartment and learn to speak Italian. Oh the sweet life!!!!!!!!

thanks for the recommendations. haven't read twilight for your reasons. not really into that stuff! I want reality. You know, American Gladiators. just kidding. not a cult book follower. Try the Kite Runner, Peace Like a River, I Am Messenger, and the House on Mango street. Good reads.
