About givinguponperfect
My name is Mary, and I live in Kansas City. I’m married to my high school sweetheart (cue the “awwww”), and we have a smart, feisty and completely adorable toddler. No, I am not biased at all. I work full-time in public relations, I love to take pictures with my fancy-schmancy digital camera (on automatic, thank you very much, I have no idea what all those settings are for), I’m always trying – and rarely succeeding – to lose weight (this would be Exhibit A for this blog’s title), and I am a big fan of lists.Website: http://www.givinguponperfect.com

What was your favorite movie of 2010?
By givinguponperfect on December 22, 2010
I just saw Inception for the first time last weekend. I’m kind of glad I waited. Don’t get me wrong! I thought it was great. In fact, that’s the problem – or would have been, if I’d seen it earlier.
It would have ruined me for all other movies {read more}
