The Walking Dead

I'm excited because the season finale of The Walking Dead is happening this evening. This show became an unexpected obsession for Shaun and me.

I purchased the first season on a whim before our trip to Aruba last year so that we'd have something to watch in our room at night. Admittedly, I didn't realize the show was about zombies...I didn't know what it was about...just that a lot of people seemed to think it rocked the house.

Of course, 5 minutes into the first episode...and we were hooked!

 

This season's second half has been a real treat to watch every week and I'm sad that after tonight, it will be gone until the Fall.

If you're into The Walking Dead and counting down until the finale, here are some fun things to keep you occupied until then!

Did you know it was a comic book first?

Great interview with last week's casualty (sad face)

Writer Robert Kirkman on the mid-season finale...and one of my all-time favorite scenes

Sweet article about Norman Reedus, aka Daryl Dixon...who I just can't get enough of

If you're into a viewing party, here are some fun ideas

If you aren't on board yet, get on it with the first season DVD

And lastly...if you think Rick looks familiar, you can also find him in one of my favorite movies...

So, will you be watching tonight? Let's discuss on the Facebook page tomorrow!

Five Things Friday

It's another Five Things Friday. How did it get here so fast? Time flies when you are having fun! Here are five things I'm digging this week!

Reuniting with Christine Bean.

I haven't seen her in two months and it is n.o.t. o.k. I miss my sister! She makes me proud every single day with her THON work and I just miss her when she is away. I'm so happy to be together with both of my sisters this weekend!

Spotted self-tie blouse.

I picked up this little number for my trip to the ABQ. I think it’s so pretty and though I often do not find F21 clothing to be flattering on my frame, I kinda sorta fell in love with this one. I will be pairing it with dark 7 for all Mankind flares, cowboy boots and big hoop earrings for the rehearsal dinner tonight.

 Heat Rises, the novel.

Any Castle fans out there? Call me super cheesy, but I am so into the Richard Castle books. To give you some background, Richard Castle is Nathan Fillion’s character on the show Castle. He plays a mystery writer and tags along with the smart and gorgeous homicide detective Kate Beckett in order to research for his novels. She is his muse, and he bases a whole book series on her alter ego, Nikki Heat. In a genius move by ABC, they actually publish these books for fans to read. Do you follow? The books follow the alter ego’s of everyone on the show, including Castle himself, written as Jameson Rook, a snazzy, charming and {obviously} ruggedly handsome journalist who just so happens to be crushing on Nikki Heat. Anyhow, I totally dig these books because they are legitmately good mystery books, whether you watch the show or not!

Zombies.

Our new favorite show, The Walking Dead, started back up on Sunday evening. Man oh man how I love this show! I found it gripping from the first five minutes of the first season, and the second season opener did not disappoint. I am soooo into it. Perhaps into it enough to go with zombies as this year's Halloween costume of choice? I just might base my zombie costume on this creeptacular zombie girl from The Walking Dead. Ack, I have nightmares everytime I see this image...

Falling asleep in a big cozy bed after a long day.

I'm spent from sightseeing and limited sleep last night. I'm barely keeping my eyes open as I type this post. There is no better feeling than being 100% completely exhausted and snuggling up next to the one you love.

Have a great weekend everyone!

What are you loving this week?
