Today after work, I got to spend the afternoon/evening with one of my bestest friends, Agnes (who happens to be sitting with me right now & reading this as I type it. hah)
My mom actually took this picture of the two of us. She took 2 – but I absolutely loved this one because the two of us are HYSTERICAL. My mom spent about 5 minutes trying to take the picture, but didn’t tell us to hold on a sec or anything so we were literally just posed & waiting… and we BURST into laughter right after. I missed spending time with this girl ♥
We decided to go out for dinner at Madison’s where we met up with my mom for a realllyyyy quick supper… and then we went to see a movie that we both REALLY wanted to check out: The Lovely Bones.
It’s been a while since I read this book so I didn’t exactly have any high hopes for the movie (not to mention it was already in the bottom theater, after just one week)… but it definitely had me tearing up at a few points. I don’t think I’ll ever watch a movie based on a book that I’ve read and EVER like it more… but I did mostly like the interpretation (minus Dora The Explorer AKA one of Susie Salmon’s friends from heaven, who popped up and a few really trippy scenes that I definitely did not understand).
Overall, definitely read the book over seeing the movie… But if you’re looking for 2 hours of entertainment, I wouldn’t say to NOT go see the movie.
But it was nice to spend the night with you, Agnes 
… We need to do this more often.
OK, wait, what? The Lovely Bones had Dora the Explorer in it? Huh? Now I’m confused…if I wasn’t confused about it before…
Oh, nooo haha. not ACTUALLY Dora… Did you see the movie, though? There’s this girl who greets Susie (the girl who dies) when she gets to Heaven & she reminded me and my friend SO much of Dora with her accent and the way she laughed… that we nicknamed her that… she was just a REALLY weird actress choice for that character, I had never imagined her that way. That’s all! haha
