Get Carried Away

SATC 2: May 28, 2010

I own all six seasons of SATC and the first movie, so to say I'm excited for the sequel would be an understatement! There isn't much out yet, but I did find the following on the official SATC site:

"British beauty Alice Eve is one of the many new faces joining the "Sex and the City 2" fold, when the sequel hits theaters on May 28.

As Charlotte York's (Kristin Davis) gorgeous foreign nanny Erin in the series, Alice will reportedly be part of a story line that spices things up for the Fab Four.

While she couldn't say much about the script, Alice did reveal that watching life on set for her castmates was an experience.

"It was mayhem for them," Alice said, referring to Kristin, Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall and Cynthia Nixon. "Everywhere they went, everybody knew."

Her own scenes, however, were much more low key.

"My stuff was -- I didn't have that," she laughed. "I just kind of turned up and smiled, and was glad to be in the room."

While Alice didn't get the full "SATC 2" mania, she did actually pick up some tips from her co-stars.

"They were all there bouncing around in their heels all day, which was insane," Alice said. "I now wear heels, which I didn't do before, because I saw how they actually do it, for real. You know they wear them all day, so that was incredible."

Phone Call Can

One of my good friends and her boyfriend came up with an idea that is pure genius. Every time they . . . (use your imagination), they each put $1 in what they call a "Romance Can." Once it adds up, then they go out to a nice dinner.

With Mike spending more time in Germany this year than Rhode Island, I decided to make my own jar: the "Phone Call Can." Every time Mike calls from Germany (during his two weeks, and also deployment), I will put $1 in the can.

Once he comes home, I'll treat him with that money to a nice night out. When I told him this, his response was, "I'm calling you every hour, on the hour!"

First Blog's a Charm

I decided to catch up with 2010, and start a blog. Hopefully I get the hang of this fast, and don't bore anyone.

Currently in a good mood, despite the fact that my favorite person in the world is 3,260 miles away (the approximate distance from Warwick to Ramstein AFB in Germany . . . yes, I looked it up and yes, I'm a dork!). Mike is doing his two-week duty, and will be home on March 20th.

He will be deploying this year, but I'm fortunate in several ways. a) He's going to Germany, not Iraq like half his unit. b) He will be able to call and email every day. c) I can visit him! The thought of spending a week in Europe is beyond exciting. First thing on my to-do list: get a passport.

Highlight of the week: My accounting professor declaring his love of rap music. He says he plans to bring his iPod in to prove it.
