Just finished this. Much easier to finish than Baby Proof which I thought was awful. Hard to even like that main character. This character was interesting. I've never been in a similar situation and think she flirted a bit too much with relationship danger for ridiculous reasons but it was a good book. Well written and in the end she made better decisions so everything ended fairly well. How's that for being vague? Don't want to give anything away though do I?Think it's the better of her books.
Now I'm off to see if I can get my super tired boy to sleep some so I can get to bed myself!
Show us a wave.
Good excuse to try and get this in a post. I love this little reminder of how wonderful staying at my aunt's house was. Perfect little getaway! Wanted to buy the place across the street and move in but I'd need to win the lotto first so I wouldn't have to work.
This may sound silly but I've never been to see a movie by myself in the theater. I'm going to change that on Monday. Monday because I feel like I can stay up later since I don't have to go to work Tuesday morning and maybe also Monday because if all goes well I can start a "Movie Monday" night. What can I say, I like alliteration.
I've invited some people from my Sunday school class, but even if no one joins me (which they probably won't), I'm going to go have fun at the movies. I really want to see Made of Honor and just decided to make it happen.
Thanks to pugsforpeace and electric firefly for inspiration to have some mommie time and take risks.
THAT I LOVE SINGSTAR?!?!?!
This is the bestest PS2 game EVAH! Andy and I have so much fun playing and Stephan likes dancing and laughing at mommie and daddie being total goofballs. We have Singstar Pop and 80's and want to get the 90's one too. I also want to plan a party and invite everyone over for a little Singstar fun. I'm not so good with the 80's songs. I wasn't aware enough then to know the songs so I don't know the words and they are super hard to sing and attempt to match the notes (not like I'm good at that anyway but some of those artists do some crazy hard stuff in their songs). My favorite is Singstar Pop. I love to have fun with Britney and Destiny's Child and Whitney. Andy and I actually do pretty good with The Fray and 3 Door Down and Snow Patrol. We got Lead Singer status tonight on Cable Car!
Enough ... I sound like a gushing tween. <embarrassed giggle>
My dream of a fun new computer has flown the coop. We are now having to spend the bulk of our tax refund to on season tickets.
I'm happy for the hubster, he's wanted this for a long time. Just bad timing in my book. Wish we could have waited another year.
I know I live in Colorado ... BUT seriously, I'M SO OVER THE SNOW. It's not October. Thankfully I can stay home and chill and not have to drive in it. This is probably the most snow I've seen this late in spring. They said something about still having great snowboarding and skiing conditions in the mountains too. Crazy how much there is and it's still coming down pretty good too. Love the green grass and white snow combo, don't get that too often do you?
So here’s my little bear and his mess. Apparently, I only thought he was taking a nap and really I was the only one doing any napping!
Mommie only thought I was asleep, but I was having LOTS of fun discovering the wrapping paper after I pulled most of my clothes out of the drawers and books off the shelf and trash out of the trash can.
Mommie was thankful I didn’t discover all the gift bags and tissue paper stashed in my closet.
After mommie came I with her camera I was a bit more interested in getting ahold of that … but she didn’t let me.
When daddie came home we cleaned up the whole mess and then we got to play sword fight with the paper rolls, how fun is that? I was a super giggly boy after all this!
I think Jimmy fallon is great and am excited for him hosting the Late Show. Too bad I rarely stay up late enough to watch it, but there's always the DVR!
To anyone who is or someday might be a mom! And here's to hoping your day will be better than mine. I finally succumbed to whatever befell Andy a couple weeks ago and Stephan last week. It's AWFUL. As Andy pointed out, one of the perks is getting waited on, HOWEVER, I'd rather be healthy and going off to church in the morning. Instead I hurt all over and ... well, I'll spare you the gory details.
So enjoy your day with your family, I sure hope it's a good one!
Yay! I had the time to finish my book ...
I must say that in the end I liked it. A good reminder to tell the truth to kids (as much as they can deal with at whatever their developmental age) ... they always figure things out anyway and then they won't be pissed at you for lying and might retain their faith and trust in you even if the truth hurts. Not to give anything away, but the thing that redeemed the book for me was the author killing someone off. Usually that upsets me and at first I was annoyed, but it really did bring everything together and wrap the book up nicely, along with the other surprise but alas I don't want to completely ruin anything for someone who hasn't read the book and wants to.
Here's a quote from the book that really resonated with me:
"This is motherhood for you, " said my own mother. "Going through life with your heart outside your body."
Just struck me as an interesting thought. I want the best for my son, I love him dearly. For the moment I'm the center (or mostly so) of his little universe. All is well when I'm nearby. As he grows this will change. He'll go to kindergarten, middle school, high school and maybe leave for college. He's mine for a season and God's forever. Wherever he goes I'll think about him, wonder how things are going for him and probably want to pick up the pieces when things fall apart ... he'll always have a piece of my heart with him. I think my biggest job as a mother is to make sure he has confidence, enough to weather the ups and downs of life, enough to know when he needs the help of others, enough to know he needs his Savior through good times and bad.
