Pretty Little Liars Relationships

May 31, 2011

Pretty Little Liars is hot and coming back for the Summer season. The Liars are so close to finding out the truth of what happened, and I am so engrossed in the show, I can’t wait to find out what happens.

The best relationships of the show would have to be Aria and her teacher Ezra. Their relationship is solid and they haill suspect he is, ve true feelings for each other. What makes it so interesting though is the fact that it’s a Teacher student relationship, and how hard they have it to keep it a secret. Her parents are even friends with Ezra and have set him up on dates with other girls, so keeping that relationship has been a lot of drama and work.

Another interesting relationship is Spencer and Toby, he is the brother of Jenna. Jenna is a trouble maker who the Liars believe knows or had something to do with A’s disappearance. Toby was once himself a suspect and at times the liars still believe he did. Spencer and him have been getting very close and according to sneak peaks will turn into love.

Pre-order your copy of the Pretty Little Liars Season One on DVD here today: http://bit.ly/lRSTgB !

Disclosure: “I have been hired by Warner Bros. WBWord division to promote Pretty Little Liars: The Complete First Season on DVD.”

Honoring Those Fallen

May 30, 2011

My husband was in the Army from 2002-2006, and served two years in Iraq. He lost comrades in both tours, but during the second tour he lost some really good friends. One that I knew personally from him and His wife coming over to visit all the time.

SGT. Milton Monzon Jr. was on a mission with 3 other soldiers, Staff SGT. Jason W Montefering, Spc. Earnest Dallas Jr., and Ramon Villatoro Jr. when their Bradley was struck by an IED and all 4 were killed July 24, 2005.

So today I am remembering them, they were all very dear to my husband and close friends to all in the Killer troop family 3 ACR

I Have Swimsuit Confidence

May 28, 2011

I have had weight problems lately, but I am the kind of person that really doesn’t care what other people think of me. So here is my swimsuit confidence.

None of my pics came out very good but I tried!

Lands End was holding Swimsuit confidence week, but I missed out. Luckily 5 Minutes For Mom still has a contest running for a chance to win $100 dollars to Lands End for an awesome swimsuit.

Now I do not ow a Lands End swimsuit, nor did I participate and get a free one (That is my disclosure also). The bathing suit I have is old and I am just showing my confidence and hoping to win a contest.

Pirates Of The Caribbean GiveawayClosed

May 27, 2011

Pirates Of the caribbean is #1 at the box office and has been great reviews. I can’t wait to see it!

Produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and directed by Rob Marshall, “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” captures the fun, adventure and humor that ignited the hit franchise—this time in Disney Digital 3D. Johnny Depp returns to his iconic role of Captain Jack Sparrow in an action-packed adventure. Crossing paths with the enigmatic Angelica (Penélope Cruz), he’s not sure if it’s love—or if she’s a ruthless con artist who’s using him to find the fabled Fountain of Youth. When she forces him aboard the “Queen Anne’s Revenge,” the ship of the legendary pirate Blackbeard (Ian McShane), Jack finds himself on an unexpected adventure in which he doesn’t know whom to fear
more: Blackbeard or Angelica, with whom he shares a mysterious past. The international cast includes franchise vets Geoffrey Rush as the vengeful Captain Hector Barbossa and Kevin R. McNally as Captain Jack’s longtime comrade Joshamee Gibbs, plus Sam Claflin as a stalwart missionary and Astrid Bergès-Frisbey as a mysterious mermaid.

I have a Pirates of the Cribbean prize pack to giveaway to one US reader:

Winner will receive a Adult t-shirt, bandana and tattoos.

To enter: Tell me your favorite Jack sparrow moment from any of the Pirate movies? Mine is when he saves elizabeth and says “Clearly you’ve never been to Singapore.”
