Five on Friday

Happy Friday!  It's been a while since the last time I've participated in one of April's link-ups.  I can't wait to swing by and see all your posts!

I was so surprised to hear that Alan Rickman passed away.  Like so many of you, I loved him as Severus Snape.  I will always think of him in that role, along with Harry in Love Actually, Metatron in Dogma, Hans Gruber in Die Hard...and so many others.

It's new computer day at work! The screen is MASSIVE. #work #mac #tech #newtechnology

We got new iMacs at work this week.  I'm still getting used to it, but am LOVING the 27 inch screen, wireless mouse & keyboard, and the display on this thing is phenomenal! A terabyte of storage is pretty awesome too.

Everyone has been talking about Making a Murderer.  I think it might be time to binge watch it this weekend!

On a whim, my cousin Kristin and I decided to "knit the weather" this year. Above is an example of how the temperature breakdown works and suggested colors.  I decided to play with the colors a bit. I'll do a full post on it this weekend to show off how cold (but pretty) the Boston area in 2016! I should mention that I haven't actually started knitting yet...but do have a great spreadsheet of the temperature going.  Wish me luck!

Paisley has developed a love affair with my scarves lately.  Probably because the cold weather has FINALLY arrived around here.  I think it might be time to buy her her own little scarf.


What do you all have planned for your long weekend?

2 on Tuesdays: Red Carpet Fashion

The adorable Andrea is back in action with her "2 on Tuesdays" linky!  She picked a good one this week.... Red carpet fashion.  :-)
What celebrities do you think have the best red carpet fashion? What celeb’s closet would you like to raid?




I lurved Reese Witherspoon's dress.  Strapless can be risky...but she does it oh so well.  The color is fabulous too.

Emma Stone looked so beautiful.  Bless her for having the courage to wear that deep of a "V" neckline.  I could never do that...but she does, and does it well!

I think Jessica Alba could wear a potato sack and look glamorous!  I wish she had worn a slightly less neutral color...but that dress looks like it was made to compliment her shape and features.

Who's closet would I like to raid?  Well, I think that the ones who carried it off best on the Golden Globes are some that have a sense of style that I like...

Jessica Alba

Reese Witherspoon

Jennifer Garner

Kate Winslet

Now, head on over and link up with Andrea!

People Magazine's Sexiest Man Alive

I heard that I was getting a subscription to People magazine for Christmas, but was a little surprised when I got home from work and found this year Sexiest Man Alive issue in my mailbox. 

I always wonder how they choose the winner each year.  It is a random drawing; a democratic vote; are there celebrities that are actually lobbing People magazine for the honor??  Does anybody else ponder this?  Or am I completely alone?

Anywho.... YAY to Johnny Depp.  He's a good actor, and seems like a nice guy.  But... to me, I don't look at him and see "sexiest man alive".  Do you?

If I had my druthers, I'd choose Ryan Reynolds....

Or Channing Tatum....

Or Alexander Skarsgard.

Who is on your sexiest man alive list?
