I can sleep on the plane

Last night, Scott and I saw the new James Bond movie. It seemed to reference the last one a lot. I don't think that the other James Bond movies did that as much (although I could be wrong, I don't really pay that much attention). This movie was pretty good. I liked it - except for the headache that I left the theater with. The fight scenes are really jerky...the camera is moving all over the place. I watched most of the movie skwinty eyed to try and make things stop moving so fast. (It didn't help) Appearantly the director did this so that we would feel like we are 'part of the action'. I'm okay watching the action and not being apart of it. It made me feel like an old lady complaining about how 'in my day - movies were shot so you could actually see what was going on. All this 'action' gives me a headache' . And then I went home, took out my dentures, and went to bed!

Today we are going to a barbeque and I am making last minute cookies. I looked for a recipe that I already had all the ingrediants for. I found Espresso Chocolate Chip cookies....TA DA! Why did I never know about these cookies before. They are AMAZING!!!!

Tomorrow, after church, we are going to we TWILIGHT!!!! WAHOO!!! Then I need to return the dress I bought for Bekah's wedding and get a smaller size, buy a small bag of dog food for the puppies vacation with the Castros, find some books for the plane ride, give the boys a bath so they wont be smelly house guests...and somewhere in there I have to finish my proposal so I can meet with my boss on Monday. Hmmmm.......

Twilight

Nikki got me hooked on the Twilight Series. Holy Cow....you should read them. I think everyone in Nikki's life is reading them. I read most of the books in one sitting...didn't eat, didn't sleep... MUST. KNOW. WHAT. HAPPENS!! Seriously, it was rediculous. The end of each book gives you the first chapter of the next one. That was TORTURE!!! I had the first one and read it (straight through) and was getting the next 3 books from Nikki. I came into work and asked for the next 2 books at the same time. Twilight pretty much ruled my life until I finished the books.

Well, the movie is coming out tonight and Twi-Guy said that the midnight showing was sold out (early this week).

***Side note: Nikki and I see the same chiropractor. He and his wife have also been reading the Twilight series together. He has decided to call himself 'Twi-guy'. I wonder if his wife calls herself 'Twirl-Girl'***

Sunday afternoon, I am going to see the movie with Nikki and Alexa. I totally bought us buttons...We like the books a lot! But, there are some people going way overboard...Twilight Tattoos....wow! I don't know how I'd feel about that in 30 years.

ummmm....yikes!!!!

its a little long, but make sure to watch it all the way through with your sound on....



Scary!

moving up on nikki's list

so, it has been REALLY long since i have written here. I'm at work, so I cant include any pictures (sorry mom). maybe next time. Well, alot has happened in the past month or so. i have embraced this whole alopecia thing and shaved my head. i really like my little bald head. its alot of fun. **pictures coming soon**

My sister is in senegal and was officially 'installed' into her new life as a peanut farmer. I definitely suggest reading up on her adventures. Her life is so crazy right now. Full of parasites, bats in her hut, sheep interupting her showers, goats sharing her pillow... seriously, you should read it...she is hilarious.

Right now, I'm sick. Ugh! I sound like death...really just a head cold, but I cant smell or taste anything. I sound worse than I feel, but I feel guilty breathing near anyone. Hopefully it goes away quickly. I think it came from standing outside on Saturday morning in the wind. But, it is definitely worth it...I'd go back every week even if I get sick every week. It was such a great morning. Totally blew my mind and changed the way I see things. Definitely an eye opening experience. This group just recently started in Houston. I have been looking for a group like them since I moved here 2.5 years ago. I was so excited. I can't wait for the next time that I can go.
