Thanksgiving Break

I've had a fairly enjoyable Thanksgiving break. It started out a little rough because I had to have surgery on Friday, but it got me a few extra days off. I lounged around the weekend, Monday, and Tuesday, but Wednesday mom and I went to Memphis for a full day of shopping. It's kind of become our tradition to go shopping the day before Thanksgiving. I got some really cute outfits. New York and Co. had everything 50% off and you can't do any better than that.
Thanksgiving was uneventful. My parents and I saw The Next Three Days, it was good, not as good as I expected though. Russel Crowe looks good though so it was worth it.

Mom and I went and saw Burlesque today and I now have a new obsession in life! I was very excited about this movie and it did not disappoint. Christina Aguilera is actually a pretty good actress and man can she sing! She plays Alli, a small town girl who moves to L.A. in hopes of a better life. She stumbles across a club called Burlesque and is immediately drawn in. She wants a job as a dancer, but settles for waitress. When a spot becomes available she auditions and makes it. At first she just dances, but when her boss discovers she can actually sing she really starts bringing in the money. Alli's love interest is played by Cam Gigandet (James from Twilight) and he is very easy on the eyes. McSteamy is also in the movie, he's a jerk, but when you look like that who cares! The best part in the whole movie though is when Cher's character Tess sings You Haven't Seen the Last of Me. Tess is the owner of Burlesque and is struggling to keep her club from being sold. In this song she says pretty much says she isn't going down without a fight. Cher proves why she is a super star. I'm already obsessed with the soundtrack!
