Drop Dead Diva Screening Season Premiere

Drop Dead Diva Season Premiere Screening

As I mentioned before in the other post that I was attending the screening of Drop Dead Diva's Season Premiere! Here's my review, but first a small introduction to Drop Dead Diva in case you're not familiar with this great show.

The one-hour, comedic drama tells the story of a shallow wannabe model who dies in a sudden accident only to find her soul resurfacing in the body of a brilliant, plus-size and recently deceased attorney, Jane.

In the first season of “Drop Dead Diva,” beautiful-but-vapid model wannabe Deb (Brooke D’Orsay) suddenly finds herself in front of heaven’s gatekeeper, Fred (Ben Feldman), following a fatal car crash. Outraged by her sudden demise, she attempts to persuade Fred to return her to her shallow existence but is accidentally relegated to the body of the recently deceased Jane Bingum (Brooke Elliott). An intelligent, thoughtful and plus-size attorney with a loyal assistant, Teri (Margaret Cho), Jane has always lived in the shadow of her colleagues, whereas Deb has always relied on her external beauty. By a twist of fate and a bolt of divine intervention, Deb must come to terms with inhabiting Jane’s curvier frame and learn to reconcile her beauty-queen ways with her brilliant new mind.

At the close of last season, Deb was ready to let go of her past and embrace her new life as Jane. But the unexpected arrival of Jane’s “secret” husband, Ethan (Devon Gummersall), at her doorstep left her with more questions than ever. To make matters worse, Jane may be disbarred after breaching client-attorney confidentiality when, against the firm’s advisement, she reported her client for fraud. Faced with a new love triangle and the uncertainty of her career, Jane must, once again, chart out a new future for herself. Season 2 Premieres June 6 at 9pm on Lifetime.

I arrived early, I got good seats, and I mean very good seats, half of the theatre was reserved, so the seats beside me were reserved, and guess who came and sat by me? The entire cast!

Right beside me was Brooke Elliott (Jane Bingum) She is so pretty! sitting next was Jackson Hurst (Grayson Kent) I can't remember who was next but the cast were:

Ben Feldman (Fred), April Bowlby (Stacy Barrett), Kate Levering (Kim Kaswell), Josh Stamberg (Parker)

I watched the season 2 premiere, and I have to say it was great! Judge Paula Abdul guest stars! I liked the season premiere, and cannot wait to watch this season.

Something amazing to me, was watching this show and looking to my right and seeing the cast! After the premiere ended the cast was interviewed by any one who wanted to ask a question.

They are really nice, down to earth people, happy to be doing this great show on Lifetime.

They said they are all great friends off-screen, and they hope Drop Dead Diva continues for many more seasons.

After the interviews, the cast was taken to the back, we were able to meet them and take pictures with them!

God's Promises for Girls

By Jack Countryman and Amy Parker

I had the opportunity to review this great book from Book Sneeze, it's an adorable little book, God's Promises for Girls. It is nicely illustrated with adorable pictures, it consists with verses for different issues that girls deal with.

In my opinion, this book is for girls ages 5 and up, I read it with my 6 yr. old daughter, she liked the book, but there were some things she didn't quite understand yet.

I have enjoyed this book, I think it's a great addition to any little girl's library.

This book has an easy way to help young girls see God's Promises, and on how they can rely on His love everyday. The promise verses in this book are selected from the best-selling International Children's Bible, to offer comfort and encouragement when a girl is feeling afraid, lonely, worried, tired, angry, dissatisfied, sad, rebellious, impatient, or sick...and when they need reassurance from God's protection, love, help...and that He listens when they pray. It's a great way to keep God's Word in their hearts.

I was shopping at Target and came across some "80's toys" as soon as I saw them it was like something in my brain clicked..and I thought "Oh yeah! I remember this"

Here's what I saw...

This one must be from late 70's or early 80's I don't remember this one.

Who didn't have one of these cute telephones!

Raggedy Ann?? I haven't seen her in ages!

I remember this one..it has London Bridge song..

Rainbow Brite?! this was so popular back then, they even had cartoons of her!

What a difference in today's toys and the ones from our childhood...

Top 10 list of childhood memories

1. It was the 80's (things were just different)

2. Saturday morning cartoon's

Sleep Apnea?

Do any of you have sleep apnea?

I had a sleep study done last week, because I'm having trouble sleeping, and I'm waking up a lot, I'm feeling tired all the time..so I went to the doctor yesterday for the results, and he said I have mild sleep apnea.

He said that there are two options, cpap machine, or Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) surgery which is a procedure that removes excess tissue in the throat to make the airway wider. As in removing parts of the soft palate, removal of tonsils and removal of the uvula (The soft fingerlike tissue that hangs down from the back of the roof of the mouth into the throat)

He also said "I will warn you, this is a very painful procedure and recovery"

So, I think I'm gonna try the cpap machine for now and see how that goes.. that surgery just scares me!

The doctor did say that if I had this surgery done, it would get rid of the sleep apena, I've done some searching and I've read horrors!
