And while you're pondering things....
Two Truths and a Lie
1. I saw Abe Vigoda in a cafe in Prague
2. I went to Sunday school with Amy Carter
3. I climbed to the top of one of my campus buildings while slightly less than sober
Can you tell me which is which?

If your life were a movie...
Who would you pick to play you and the other people in your life?
Me: Claire Danes - I know, I know wishful thinking...
Andy: Keiffer Sutherland (I cheated and asked him though...) although I could do some more wishful thinking and say Ewan McGregor....
I can just hear you reading this now sweetie and saying "HEY!"

Oh um...excuse me
Andy and I went out to dinner last night. It was a lovely little Greek restaurant, and it gives you a very homey feel. Perhaps a little too homey. I was in fact so comforatble there that for five seconds I forgot that we weren't eating dinner at home.
In that 5 seconds I belched. Rather loudly. After we both finished dying of laughter, the waitress came over and asked if we wanted anything else. I personally was quite through for the evening.

Movie review
We recently borrowed 'Waiting for Guffman' and 'Boogie Nights' from a friend of Andy's.
'Waiting for Guffman' was about the funniest thing I've ever seen. It's a fake documentary on Blaine, Missouri, and the small town's sesquicentennial play. The whole time we're laughing our heads off, thinking this is the most absurd thing I've ever seen, part of me is remembering that Fourth of July play I was in when I was 8. Unless you've seen a small town's celebration or been in a church play you don't realize how dangerously close they come to the truth. There are people out there that take this kind of thing seriously! Which of course helps in it's absurdity.
'Boogie Nights' just plain stunk. I was sick of the thing half way through and with about 30 minutes left I got out of the room as fast as I could. I could not watch one more minute of it. It was about the most disgusting, depressing, sickening piece of crap I have ever watched. I don't understand how it could possibly be considered a good movie. It had all the art school tricks. It tried to be a deep movie. But I thought it was just plain gross. The only redeeming thing (if you can call it that) about it at all was that it was about porn. Huh huh...porn. Sorry folks, in case you hadn't guessed, I hated the thing.
I guess you have to have bad movie experiences to make the good ones stand out more.

Project project who's got a project?
I've been itching for things to do lately. I want to repaint the basement. I want to put in a closet organizer in one of the closets down there and turn it into a camping storage space. I want to finish the lights in the kitchen. I want to refinish the deck. I want the front porch repainted, so we can hang the new house numbers and put in the new light. I want toro lights around the patio in the back yard. I want half a million other things to do to the house...maybe because things have been so slow at work my focus has been on home improvement lately.
I think I'm going to wear poor Andy out.

Baby Shower Number 2
I got to go to my second ever baby shower on Saturday. It was just as much fun as the first one. Good food, good people, good games. I actually won one this time!
And of course lots of adorable clothing and toys for the new baby.
Good stuff all around. Looking forward to playing with the new arrival once he makes his appearance!

Just call me Soupy Sales
I've always been a bit on the clumsy side. I tend to drop things, especially if they're delicate and breakable. Well, today I think I reached a new height in my clutziness.
I was making soup from a packet. You know one of those that comes with the beans and seaoning, just needs broth and meat added? Well, things started out ok. I was boiling my water and broth, just time to add the creamy soup base (better known as powdered milk). And for some reason I decided to shake the package before opening it.
POOF
Powder everywhere. All over the counter, all over the appliances, all over the floor, and all over and in my shirt.
I just moaned. Andy called from downstairs "what's wrong?" and came up to see what was the matter. If nothing else he had a very good laugh (and so did I eventually) and the dog had a delightful time licking everything within his reach in the kitchen.
The soup turned out fine.
