Good and Relaxing

It was a great weekend for the Loveday family! We saw two new movies, went to the USC Basketball game and tried a new restaurant. On a personal note, I watched the Golden Globes (personal opinion later) and had a dinner date with a girlfriend.

On Saturday night we went to cheer on the Gamecocks at the Basketball game.



Unfortunately, Vandy played a little better than the Gamecocks and we lost by 10. But we had great seats (thanks Jordan) and had a great time. The new restaurant we tried was Al-Amir. It is Mediterranean food and it was SOOOO good! John and I LOVE hummus and they had the best around. Lots of different options to eat and a great atmosphere. They have a wonderful outdoor eating area - so it will be a great place to go when it gets warmer.

So, some personal opinion -- I watched the Golden Globes on Sunday night (you will learn that I LOVE award shows). I thought the host, Ricky Gervais was hysterical and a great choice to keep some good comedy in the program. As for the winners, well, first off, Glee got robbed! Don't get me wrong, it absolutely deserved to win Best Show but Jane Lynch specifically should have won for best Supporting Actress. I was a little bummed that Matthew Morrison got left out but Jane's character Sue, is PERFECT and hopefully won't be forgotten next year. There were a few others that I wouldn't have chosen but overall great winners! Robert Downey Jr gave a great speech but was a shocking win (however, Sherlock Holmes was great). Ok, that is all I will ramble on about! But get excited for the Academy Awards next month! :)

The next two weeks will be hectic for us. I start my new job at the beginning of February, both John and I are taking graduate classes and I am start my judging duties for Miss White Knoll High School next weekend. I am sure I will have fun adventures to share soon! Stay tuned ....
