I Lost!


Okay - so here’s a quick update.

I lost. Yep, that’s right - the Tamale won. Here’s the deal: It’s impossible for me to go to the movies without treats. I mean, IMPOSSIBLE. So, when my sweet husband asks me to go to a matinee, I can’t say no. And when he stops by the drugstore to pick me up a box (yep - the BIG box) of Hot Tamales to sneak into the matinee, it would have been oh so rude of me to say no to his sweetness.

I didn’t even make it into the theater before the box was open and my fingers were red. the only semi-good news: i spilled half the box on the floor. The movie wasn’t great. it had some intense action but was just okay. So if you planned on seeing “Vantage Point”, save your $$ and wait till you can rent it instead.

Have a great day and eat something sweet for me.

    Hot Tamales and Sour Jacks are a close second.

    Natalie,
    My temptation is chocolate. It is always me vs the chocolate. Sometimes the chcolate wins. Sometimes I win. I try to ingnore the temptation, but it is so hard to ignore it.
    Love,Sara
    P.S. Kiss Gracie & Bella for me. xxxooo

  14. Hey there, i love Hot Tamales! I came over from Tracy’s blog from Shaun Groves Shlog…but wanted to say hi because I believe you recently met my nanny Chelsea at a store in Green Hills. She said you were so awesome! Oh and I heard you had twins, I do too! :)

  15. Natalie,
    Awesome new reformatted website! I love it!! Very beautiful!

    Tamales– never had them! Though if I go to the movies, I rarely get treats. Too expensive!! If I do get them, I get raisinets or reeses pieces.. mmm :)

    I saw Vantage Point.. thought it was ok; better than some films.. lol..

  16. Jennifer

    that stinks that you lost natalie! i dont think i have had hot tamales before, but i have had ice cream and that is a HUGE temptation for me! My friend likes to bake sweets, so sometimes she will bring them to school, and its really hard to say no. they always turn out incredible!

    P.S. love “in better hands”.

  21. Lindsay

    I LOVE hot tamales- all cinnamon-ish candies, really :) I can understand how they are tempting! I hope you had a great day today!

  22. Teri

    I can definitely sympathize with you. Hot tamales are my all time favorites. I have eaten them since I was very young. They are also my downfall when I am dieting. There is no such thing as eating just a few. It’s the whole box or nothing.

  23. linnae

    hey natlie i love hot tamales too. but now i cant eat them anymore without gigggling becuae one time me and my friend were on a trip and our nick name for every cute boy we saw was “hot tamales are soo good” well at a red light a car wit its windows down as well had some cuties in it–so my friend yelled out HOT tamale thinking the boy was out of sight–however he wasnt and looked at me and i turned beat red. it was so funny but yes tamales are really very good

  24. Sissy4

    Well, that’s okay to cave in to your craving…girls require something to curb their craving…so don’t worry bout it!

  25. faith

  28. Marisa

    Haha…I love Hot Tamales!!! It’s okay that they won. You will get them back…haha. I love your new album Relentless! It’s great! I am singing the song Perfect People in church on Sunday. I sang The Real Me at Fine Arts and made it to Nationals, I sang I Will Be at church, and I have In Better Hands which I’ll sing soon. I am going to the Revolve Tour and am soooo super excited to meet you!!!

  29. Brooke

  30. Becky

    My husband and I went to see Vantage Point and we liked it!!

    I love your music! You were great at the GMA awards!!

  31. hope you enjoyed the hot tamale’s! My wonderful monthly friend is here right now, which makes me crave chocolate…which isnt good either since I am trying to get healthy before we try again for a baby here in a month!

  32. Jenn

    How awesome!! I absolutely love hot tamales too!! My daughter also loves them and she is only 2! How crazy. I love your music! You are such a blessing! Much love to you and your fam!

  33. Ur too funny! My hubby loves Hot Tamales too. We also seen Vantage Point when it was first released in theaters and I was disappointed by all the cutaways myself. I leaned over to my husb. and said we should have waited for this. lol Maybe now that your tour is over you can get some rest. God bless ya girl and keep your chin up and letting the Lord move ya! ;)
