Right now my aunt and mom are working diligently to fix up my sisters' bridesmaids dresses. I'm hoping that it is going a little something like this.

Kid Sister Movie Review: Ramona and Beezus
Warning: may contain spoilers.
There were few funny, sad, and heartwarming scenes in the movie. My favorite characters are Ramona and Beezus, their family, aunt and uncle. I would love to see that movie again so many times until it came on DVD! It's about misadventures of young 9 year old mischief girl, Ramona Quimby who drives her family crazy because of her distraction of imangination. Meanwhile, her father lost his job, and they might lose their house! Now it's up to Ramona with her mischief and imagination to save her family's home before moving away.
I say the grade "A+"! My favorite parts: Ramona keeps in trouble at school, their dad comes home and sisters came running and hugging on hin, Ramona jumping on her bed and her imagination of space, Beezus letting her sister to sleep with her, her father and Ramona coloring a large picture for school and the wedding scene at the end. Least favorite parts: her dad yells at her, to girls fighting over phone and let oven on fire, baby spits food on Ramona's face and aunt and uncle got each other's nerve. Sad parts: their cat died, family losing money, their dad yelling at Ramona and Ramona ran away from home.

Today I bought pants with an elastic waistband...
...and I'm not pregnant.
Check out these amazing jean leggings! They just slide right on like sweat pants. I love Nordstrom's Anniversary Sale.
In other shopping news, the Fiance and I picked up our wedding bands, but I'm not previewing those on my blog because that seems tacky. Speaking of tacky (?), I also bought a skirt inspired by one I saw on the Bachelorette. I got this little number on clearance at Saks:
I needed some retail therapy. Planning a wedding = stress.

Kid Sister Movie Review: The Karate Kid
I would like to introduce a new feature on my blog, in which my kid sister reviews movies.
This project is still in the early stages. Last month I emailed kid sister a request for a review of the movie, "The Karate Kid." Here is our email exchange:

"The Karate Kid" is about a 12 year old boy Dre Parker new kid moved to China with his mom at Breverly Hills apartment and was a new student at Chinese school where he made two friends.
He immediately falls for his classmate Mei Ying - and the feeling is mutual - but cultural differences make such a friendship impossible. Even worse, Dre's feelings make an enemy of the class bully, Cheng. With no friends in a strange land, Dre has nowhere to turn but maintenance man Mr. Han (Jackie Chan), who is secretly a master of kung fu. As Han teaches Dre that kung fu is about maturity and calm, Dre realizes that facing down the bullies will be the fight of his life.
What I like about it is when we get to know the Chinese culture and martial arts including kung fu. Mostly for the first time, we get to see Kung Fu tournment not to be seen on TV unlike anywhere. What I dislike about it is when two lovable kids on their secret date in the storytelling theatre at the festival. Mom told me to never do that without permission when I had boyfriend over. I'll say the grade is A-. I hope that's enough infromation for your blog! Good luck with that! Love and miss you! Chat with you later! Email me back soon as you got this message!
Love,

Thank you so much!!
I really love the parts that you wrote. It looks like some parts are copied and pasted from Internet websites. Can you write the plot summary in your own words?

I guess I could I try summary better in my own words. It's not that easy to do it though. We talked about this before online. Never mind.
Bye!

We're taking baby steps. Stay tuned for reviews of "The Last Airbender" and "Ramona and Bezus."
