SPA NIGHT BEGINS TONIGHT AT 4:00 PM!

Countdown to THE HUNGER GAMES!!!

3 DAYS LEFT BEFORE THE RELEASE OF THE HUNGER GAMES!! REASON 3: KATNISS EVERDEEN!!

Many people would assume that this would be the number one reason I am looking forward to seeing The Hunger Games, but it only makes reason number 3. Reason 1 and 2 are specific scenes I love in the book that I am looking forward to seeing in theaters. So if you have not read The Hunger Games - DO NOT READ THE NEXT TWO POSTS! I'm warning you right now, there will be certain events revealed.

Katniss is being played byJennifer Lawrence who also stared in Winter's Bone. From her acting in Winter's Bone, I have confidence that she will do an equally excellent job in The Hunger Games. Katniss is my favorite character in The Hunger Games. She is strong, self-reliant, loyal, tough, smart, rebellious, and soft-hearted! She may be a hunter, but she is definitely not a killer. I can't wait to see her progress through The Hunger Games!

Countdown to THE HUNGER GAMES!!!

4 days left until The Hunger Games movie release! Reason 4: Rue 

The tribute from district 11 is the youngest, smallest participant in the 74th Hunger Games. She makes an initial impression on Katniss because Rue reminds her of her sister, Primrose. Rue is played by Amandla Stenberg in the movie. I am looking forward to seeing her in the movie. She is a very sweet character. She adds some humanity and perspective to The Hunger Games. Plus although she is small, she still scores a high number in training so don't count her out!

Spa Night - Because You Deserve It!!

Countdown to THE HUNGER GAMES!!!

5 DAYS UNTIL THE RELEASE OF THE HUNGER GAMES IN THEATERS! REASON 5: Peeta Mellark

Peeta is played by Josh Hutcherson in The Hunger Games! I must admit I was not originally captivated by Peeta. He seemed so much weaker than Katniss. Plus when you have Gale as competition...! Through the course of the series, Peeta really started to grow on me. Peeta is a very honest person who stays true to himself. One of my favorite quotes from the book comes from Peeta, "I want to die as myself... I don't want them to change me in there. Turn me into some kind of monster that I'm not."

Countdown to THE HUNGER GAMES!!!

6 DAYS LEFT OF WAITING FOR THE HUNGER GAMES! Reason 6: Gale Hawthorne

I'll be honest - Gale was at the top of my list of favorite characters the first time I read The Hunger Games. What is there not to love: self-sufficient, loyal, tall, dark hair, attractive, supportive, brooding, somewhat mysterious - shall I go on? lol! They chose Liam Hemsworth to portray Gale in The Hunger Games movie! If you can't tell which one is Gale from the picture - then there's no help for you (just find the most attractive one:) )! I can't wait to see him in action: hunting in the beginning, pulling Primrose off of Katniss, and talking to Katniss before she is sent to the Capitol. He does not have a main role in the first book, but he is constantly in Katniss mind and sometimes affects the actions he takes. Plus, I'll be honest - he's not too bad to look at :)!
