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 :)

Lunch time cravings!! I need to make these!!
Love these cookies Julie! And lucky friend you have :)
Triple chocolate is always a good idea!
You have a lucky friend to get such beautiful cookies as a thank you gift! They look great!
I didn’t even REALIZE it was isla fisher until after the movie ended. Just am not used to her in that kind of role! I’m older than Carey Mulligan which is just plain scary. She’s gorgeous. I loved the movie. And we just contracted our videographer for the wedding and I’m so excited. :) Have fun watching!
These cookies look wonderful and so soft from that pudding mix!
The videographer is one of the best investments you’ll make, Sally! So thrilled you decided to get one – I know a lot of brides say that’s their #1 regret!! :) xo
These look fantastic! I’m thinking of making a batch of these and tucking them in the freezer so I don’t eat them all at once. I need to get myself to the theater to see The Great Gatsby.
I don’t even know how much of this dough would make it to the oven because I’d be eating it all right out of the bowl!
Don’t you remember Isla’s character in the Wedding Crashers? Not exactly goodie goodie. I’m debating on if I should even see the new movie – I feel like it’d be great for the updated technology and costumes but you’re right – the original is probably best. So easy to judge and compare when you love the original.
Ahh I completely forgot about her in Wedding Crashers!! Haha, too funny – I just keep thinking about her in Confessions of a Shopoholic or some other goodie goodie ones she was in. Always forget the bad ones ;)
I can’t believe you have been married a month already! I’m going on 3 years in a month and I feel like we just got married.
I’m holding off on Great Gatsby. I’m not sure I will be able to stand it compared to the Robert Redford version. The crazy music just seems wrong, lol!
On another note, these cookies look amazing! You had me a triple chocolate!
What?! Crazy that you’ve been married a month already! I can’t believe it, it seems like yesterday I was following along on IG :) congrats to the happy couple! I think eating a plateful of chocolate cookies are in order!
