- The Secret Life of Bees is out in theaters. I read Sue Monk Kidd's novel this past summer, and really enjoyed it. As the book-to-film transition tends to be a bumpy one in Hollywood, I was a bit hesitant about the movie version. But how I loved every second of it! The vibrancy of the characters and setting were brought to life in new ways on screen. Go see it - it is a great film based on a great book.
- At 15 weeks pregnant, I have never been so tired in all my life. I've been napping in the afternoon, going to bed ridiculously early, and still feel exhausted during most of the day. Tonight I took a post-dinner nap at 8pm...who does that?! I've been assured by my doctor and every formerly pregnant woman out there that this is totally normal. But seriously, I cannot wait until this little phase passes. Where's the second trimester energy? Where's the pregnancy glow??? Wake me up when the good stuff kicks in.
Celebrity sighting! I saw Martha Stewart today in Barnes & Noble (where I apparently see many famous people). She's making her way around Los Angeles to promote her new book Martha Stewart's Cooking School: Lessons and Recipes for the Home Cook. There were a few hundred people crowded around her for pictures and autographs, so I just got close enough for a glimpse of Martha and a blurry snapshot with my iPhone, and then went on my merry way.

I will never be able to deal with being pregnant-- I'm already tired all the time!
I loved The Secret Life of Bees! I didn't hear there was a movie about it out! Thanks for letting me know.
I adored that book so I can't wait to see the movie! Also, that's so cool about the Martha sighting!! I never see famous people.
I really want to see that movie. I loved the book and I keep hearing the movie stays true to it.
That's so exciting!
Hope you get an energy boost soon! Meanwhile, enjoy your perfect excuse to be lazy and relax :)
Aah the wonderful joys of pregnant. Hang in there hopeful in the second trimester things may change. Take care and God Bless!
I have a slight crush on Martha........lucky.
The Secret Life of Bees (much better than the Mermaid Chair) was definitely one of my top reads in the last few years and I've had beekeeping fantasies since. I am taking your recommendation to heart and will see the movie.
We may be coming to LA this weekend. I would love to see you, even if you don't budge from the couch and we just drink some tea.
My mother absolutely LOVED the Secret Life of Bees movie, so I'm excited to hear the translation went well. Sometimes, as you well know, it doesn't.
And even though I know you probably don't feel it, I am positive you have the pregnancy glow. You've just got to!
aww best of luck with the pregnancy phases!!
I will be a mess when pregnant. I'm tired all the time as is!!
Thanks for the movie recommendation. I would like to see that one. Hang in there, energy is on its way. Enjoy the sleep now...!
