Sundance Film Fest + happy early birthday to me.

Diane Kruger is 4th from the right, and to the left of her is Seneca from the first Hunger Games!
 The Director is on the far right. 

In line to see Better Angels. 

I ordered a steak for the first time ever.^

We rode the city bus home. You would not believe the traffic in Park City. Also, our ride feel asleep so...

I am convinced that my birthday week falls on the best week of the year. Sundance Film Festival. It has been my families tradition to do dinner at Sundance Foundry Grill for the past 5 years or so. This year we decided to make reservations on Main Street so we could be more involved in all of the action of the film festival. We had dinner at Mustang. I ordered a steak and fries you guys!!! I am pretty sure that last night was the first time ever that I ordered a steak. And let me tell you... It was delicious. Perfect splurge for my early birthday celebration.
We went to the world premiere of the movie Better Angels. It was a movie about Abe Lincoln's childhood. It was honestly beautiful. The cinematography was unreal. After the show they had a Q&A session and brought up the actors. Diane Kruger was there. She is like a modern day Audrey Hepburn. She was a Ballerina for the Royal Ballet in London. She has the prettiest German accent and she was just so elegant. It was so cool to hear her side of the film and the process. Robert Redford was sitting on the same row as my sister, mom and I. So that was awesome.
I love the film festival. It is so cool to see people follow their dreams and make these documentaries. Can't wait to come back to Park City next weekend to see a couple more films! I hope everyone has a great long weekend!! Nothing better than a sunday night knowing you don't have school in the morning.

a lonely saturday night

Why does it still have to be winter? I mean winter, I love you, January is the best month, but you ruin my plans with your freak snow storms!! How am i supposed to do something with my boy if you randomly decide snow is a good idea? I can't go to Salt Lake if the canyon is closed!!
Let me put it a different way: I am so glad that i am snowed in because now all i want to do is bake cookies even when i am gluten/sugar free. So thanks winter, for that craving/desire or whatever you call it. Luckily, I found a healthy alternative!! 

Baked grape fruit with honey and cinnamon

Sitting in the hot tub made me happy, even if it was snowing.

taking inventory of my closet. What I need, what I need to get rid of. I don't like to have anything unnecessary.

I am now sitting in my bed blogging about it (i rock), wondering if nine o' clock is too early to go to sleep, but then i'm like "nahhhh" so goodnight my lovely blog friends.
