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 :)

My kids would LOVE these cookies!
It’s SO true (re: friendships) like that. They are so meant to be treasured!
Like these cookies. Like how I did that?
I still havent seen the Great Gatsby but it looks like a fun movie! These cookies look so chocolaty and soft.
How sweet of you to make these cookies for your friend! I love how food brings us together! These look delicious and I love how chocolatey they are!
I’m kind of crushing on Leo all over again after TGG. Loved the movie!
Love these cookies too.
Love anything with chocolate, but TRIPLE chocolate? Yes please!
I STILL haven’t seen the new Gatsby. I’m glad I’m not the only one who can’t get past Tobey McG. he’s just not for me, but I’ll give him another shot :) And I’ll totally give these a shot, because triple and chocolate are two words that are best said side by side. YUM!
Ugh, I miss being able to go to the theater anytime I wanted! With two little kiddos, we haven’t gone in, well, a long time. haha! I want to see Star Trek and The Great Gatsby. Glad it’s good! One of my favorite movies is Moulin Rouge, so I’m sure I’ll like Gatsby! :)
Although I can’t go to the movies whenever I want, I can still make cookies anytime! And, THESE sound perfectly amazing.
Triple chocolate?? Yes, please – double batch!
Count me in for 3 times the chocolaty goodness!
