It’s crazy how fast time flies. A month ago today, Jason and I were getting married and then we were off to Turks & Caicos. How I wish I could rewind and relive those moments again and again! We’re supposed to be getting our wedding video sometime this week and I’m seriously so excited to watch it. Although I cried the entire time walking down the aisle, it’ll be nice to replay that special moment because I definitely don’t remember any of what was said at the alter, lol
Oh, I finally saw The Great Gatsby yesterday. I must say, I like the classic Robert Redford one better, but I like this modernized one for the grandiose cinematic screenplay. I loved Gatsby’s mansion and I loved all the outfits. Ugh, Carey Mulligan was dazzling. I really love her. She’s so pretty and I think played the part perfectly. (Btw – did you know she’s only 27?! TWENTY-SEVEN!! She definitely doesn’t look it, but wow that took me by surprise!) So, I’m not a fan of Tobey McGuire but I must say that he did a really good job as Nick Carraway and he’s now growing on me as an actor. You know who I thought was REALLY out of character? Isla Fisher for being that lady who slept around with Tom Buchanan. I just really didn’t see her in that part, at all! She always plays that goodie-goodie and innocent/ditzy chick. I guess she’s trying to break out of that or something, but it was just really weird seeing her that way, lol..oh and Leo, as always, he did such a fantastic job. I swear that guy just KNOWS how to be the character he’s acting as. He’s got crazy talent! Have you seen the movie yet? What did you think?
I made these cookies a month or so ago for a friend going through a hard time. I was debating on classic chocolate chip cookies or these triple chocolate, and obviously decided that triple chocolate is always going to be better! Maybe you’ll go make these cookies today for a friend who’s helped you out? Or just as a nice gesture. Who knows, you could brighten that person’s day :)

I haven’t seen The Great Gatsby yet but, but I will, I am very curious about this version. It would be fun to go to the cinema with your cookies in bag :)
These look fantastic!
Yum, yum, yum! You know if there’s pudding in the mix, I’m in! These sound right up this chocoholic’s alley!
I loved the movie more than I thought I would after reading all the negative reviews. It was very accurate to the book, which I appreciated. I agree with Isla Fisher being a weird choice for Myrtle. It was kinda confusing.
I can’t believe it’s been a month since you got married! I hope the first month of married life has been treating you well. If it involves these cookies, I’m pretty sure you two are going to have a delicious life together!
These look SO good, Julie!!!
And I’m glad you finally saw Gatsby! I’m with you on being a little “meh” about Tobey McGuire. But Carey Mulligan? Agreed – brilliant. :)
Yes please to triple chocolate!
1) Tobey McGuire would be my last choice to cast as Nick Carraway, but I’m glad he played the part well. I still need to see that move! 2) You are so sweet to bake your friend cookies. Food really does bring us closer together! 3) Love, love, love these cookies!! Happy Memorial Day!
Delicious cookies, Julie! Happy Memorial Day!
Yum! These cookies sound awesome. Triple chocolate is always good!
I can not wait to hear about you wedding video, I hope you love it!
Happy Memorial Day!
