It's horrible, really. the acting, the writing... it's just so chintzy. <br /><br />Sleeping Bear Dunes is one of my favorite places, if you're ever in northern Michigan it's worth the stop.

I wanted to stab myself from boredom. Also, now I want to go to Sleeping Bear Dunes because when I went to the website there was a mommy deer kissing a baby deer and it filled my heart with happiness. (Also, it is gorgeous, and also, I went once to the dunes in Michigan City, IN, and it was AMAZING- because my least favorite thing about ocean beaches is salt water and there IS NONE, so I now want to go visit more lake dunes!)Shannon @ It Starts at Midnighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10043593641190645773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3952534890282357396.post-10741718390608602272016-07-15T06:04:21.751-07:002016-07-15T06:04:21.751-07:00OMG that is the best first job I have ever heard o...OMG that is the best first job I have ever heard of!

It's like a weird feeling because a part of me still loves those books because of how I felt about them at one point in time... but then a part of me thinks they're awful and would never recommend them.Kit @ Metaphors and Moonlighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10113986982046115579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3952534890282357396.post-20169730104059926122016-07-13T21:50:47.994-07:002016-07-13T21:50:47.994-07:00That's one of my favorite areas!

I have to be careful because I could easily end up with all green clothes and every room in my house painted a different shade of green without even realizing it! That sounds like a pretty great first job! Though I can't imagine giving a Corvette to a 17 year old even for a few minutes! I really need to rewatch Gosford Park. We watched it right after it had come out after it had been nominated for an Oscar. I didn't really enjoy it but I think it was a case more of mood and timing than anything to do with the actual movie.Katherine Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12126062556416434416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3952534890282357396.post-25245452956906416402016-07-12T13:11:04.696-07:002016-07-12T13:11:04.696-07:00Fun post!
