Old Late Night Virgin Eclipse Critic.
I cut line with a running stride upon arriving at the theater. I threw the ticket at the usher and literally kept on going. A police officer came in to our theater, and for a second, I thought he was after me. However, I think he was looking for the beer drinkers that left their mark last year...and that was - um - not me either. *cough*
I silenced the theater & got a picture of some genius guys. They wore their own 'Team' shirts. I got 'Team Patrick' to turn around & smile for a Kodak moment with BlueMomma's camera because she was too chicken. However, I was too tired to actually return the favor by walking down to his seat & signing his shirt.
I made the teenybopper girls wait as I told a girl in a leg cast to cut line for the handicap stall in the bathroom. Not one girl sneered or objected. I felt old. Mama spoke, kids listened.
I had a revelation as I watched Bella & her dad talk about virginity in their kitchen. I am Bella's dad's age...or close damn to it.
I broke the seal and had to pee too many times. Im never drinking before a movie again.
I actually jumped at 'scary' parts in the movie. Not sure if it was the movie, exhaustion or the caffeine.
Dakota Fanning is a true actress. I was scared of her.
I have found a new liking for Jacob. His extremely BAD hair in the first movie has worn off on me, and him not wearing a shirt for most of Eclipse sealed the deal. Not to mention, his sarcasm was well delivered.
A bigger budget can make a movie great.
Midnight movies are too late for my old a-s-s.
Novemeber 2011 seems so far off, but I know in reality it will fly by...
Remembering.
Roses grow in Heaven, Lord, pick a bunch for me. Place them in my Daddy's arms & tell him they're from me. Tell him that I love & miss him, & when he turns to smile, place a kiss upon his cheek & hold him for awhile. Remembering him is easy; I do it everyday. There's an ache within my heart that will never go away.
♥ ♥ Happy Father's Day Daddy ♥ ♥
Walmart's Secret.
Big B has been in need of new undies. So while at Walmart today, I let her pick some out.
After carefully selecting 2 packs with the cutest prints, she decided she needed a bra to match. For a split second I considered it. Afterall, the super cute coordinating bras were strategically hung next to the size 6 girls' panties. However, it was a quickly fleeting thought - not just because Big B is still a baby and the idea of a bra is absurd, but because 1 bra cost more than the 6 pack of panties.
Thankfully, Big B accepted my stern 'no' with ease. (She was very lucky it was not more of a 'OH HELL NO!')
As we turned the corner, Big B quickly questioned:
"Will I at least get one of those pretty pink bags with tissue paper?"
Not at Walmart my dear, not at Walmart.

Silence Means Toilet.
lil C was playing quietly. I figured it was the perfect time to catch up on Kimtastic's blog. I was behind and knew she had posted some new fun reads. I normally don't delve into any deep internet material during the day, because I am constantly being interrupted. But this moment appeared perfect.
After catching up on the newest happenings, I realized quite a bit of time had elapsed. lil C was still eerily quiet. My mommy instinct told me this was not good.
Lo and behold, I found lil C in the bathroom. Drenched in toilet water. Rolls...not just sheets, but rolls, were in the commode & on the floor.
Yes, I grabbed the camera for prosperity. 2 more minutes would not make the disaster any nastier.
The joke, hubby often asks what I was doing while a 'situation' occured. He likes to insinuate that Im always 'typing away' on the computer.
This time, he was right.
