Edition 28

1. Dear John - this movie is diabolical. John deserved better. I was rooting for them to NOT end up together.

2. Me Before You - I cannot believe this movie is real. I ugly sobbed and was so angry at him. She is truly a better person than me. Let us not forget the crime of Ed Sheeran singing “when your legs don’t work like they used to before” during a scene of a man in a wheelchair on the dance floor.

3. The Ugly Truth - this movie aged POORLY and should probably be scrubbed from the internet.

4. Anyone But You - This one wouldn’t make this list if it was a dumb Netflix movie but it was a movie in theatres that EVERYONE hyped up saying “romcoms are so back” and this movie is simply mid

5. Love Again - Odds are no one knows what this movie is and it probably should stay that way since its more a Celine Dion promo than a romance movie

I am on my romance book kick and I have no plans of stopping! I am obsessed with the fact that in this book SHE is the bodyguard. We love women in male dominated fields!

I am truly in the spirit of trying out as many new restaurants as I can. Although, this is a Houston restaurant that I must return to. I rank way too many things but if I added Houston cheeseburgers to my rankings this would make the top 5 for sure. If anyone tries to tell you that cheeseburgers and martinis don’t pair well together… they are not anyone I recommend spending time with. An ELITE combo.

This is my go to football potluck recipe. I will be completely honest with the fact that I skipped the bacon aspect because that was time I did not have and they still tasted delicious. It is important to note that everytime I make this recipe I think of my friend who told me she did not like spicy things so she would try them but not eat them. I made less Jalapeno Poppers because of this. She then proceeded to eat almost all of them at the function. So if you are thinking that this isn’t for you because you don’t like spicy things. You will still like these.

The Grammys and Super Bowl have brought me back into my Kendrick era. Of course I was obsessed with his half time performance. I fear there is a HIGH correlation between people who found Kendrick’s performance to be “boring” and people who believe Beyonce did not deserve the Album of the Year Grammy. I have been through the TRENCHES defending both of them. Kendrick Lamar is my petite PRINCE. Cowboy Carter was not my favorite album of 2024 but I can appreciate ART. Beyonce and Kendrick delivered us with ART and people clearly have a difficult time appreciating that.

Song Recommendation: Tyrant by Beyonce

I caught up on Tell Me Lies and since I’m not ready to leave my college nostalgia behind, I started “The Sex Lives of College Girls.” I know that Renee Rap eventually leaves and that is already disappointing because she is immediately my favorite character. I love the representation of bat-shit crazy women in their own unique ways because truly no one had their heads screwed on correctly during college and how could we!?

I do not know how to watch a Florence Pugh movie without sitting in awe of her talent and beauty. I guess this is a romance movie but it was also wildly depressing so there is that. The story was told in a non-linear way which was unique but at time confusing for my pea-brain. The depressing aspect did send me into a semi spiral so I have to dock some points for that but it was a good watch!

Rating: 7/10

At the risk of sounding like the most basic bitch… I’m lowkeyyy into happy hour. CRAZY I know but it is very main character energy to go out for happy hour regularly. I fear I am not embracing happy hour enough and will be doing it more going forward! Why not yap with discounted drinks!? Adding appetizers to the discounted drinks… we now have the perfect party!

We all know where my football loyalties lie (SKOL) but the Philadelphia Eagles are doing something very correct which is putting only hot men on their team. They won not because of their football talents but because they provided the girlies with MEN. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that the teams for the GIRLS keep winning. The Chiefs brought the girls with Taylor Swift (and won the Superbowl) but lost the girly energy with Harrison Butker. Jalen Hurts has an all female management team, looks like THAT, and is a super bowl WINNER.

If you were not invited to a fabulous Galentine’s party that provided cute decor, coffee, yapping, treats, and a build your own flower bouquet activity… I am truly sorry. Luckily the Yapple Sauce tik tok has a video for you to pretend like you were there.

Did I get sick the night after the Superbowl after consuming way too many of the fabulous superbowl snacks and appetizers? Yes, yes I did! Would I do it all over again? Absolutely! It is truly so fun to watch the Superbowl with the girlies even if you aren’t a football gal. We are yapping about all of the wrong things. For example, when an Eagles defensive player got a touchdown after an interception… sure that is cool I guess! But the girlies were discussing how precious it was that he got his FIRST touchdown in the NFL on his BIRTHDAY in the SUPERBOWL. He was the MVP of the game in our hearts. Birthday boy Cooper!

I actually won’t be asking about the swing but thank you! In addition, something just tells me that this man is a.) judging if a woman is bipolar & b.) giving out bipolar diagnosis to any women who inconveniences him.
