my life in updates

By
Update 1:
The squatters are now home owners. Glad that's over.

Another Update:
Last week I got to tag along while Husband went to Phoenix for the National Greenbuild Convention and hang out in a hotel room for 3 days ALL BY MYSELF.

I want to go back.

Being alone is LOVELY.

Update Numero Tres: I saw NEW MOON today!!!!!!!!

I have to say that the first movie kind of killed the whole Twilight thing for me. Ok, not really. But the more I watched it, the more I realized how immature being obsessed with vampires and werewolves are.

And I am nothing if not mature.

But after watching New Moon (which was my favorite book of the series - TEAM JACOB) I'm ready to be immature and obsessed again. I was so worried they'd ruin it. I was ready to be disappointed on some kind of level (if only slightly....or possibly a lot, I wasn't sure.)

I'm not disappointed.

And tonight I may just possibly dream that I'm a teenager again so that I can stalk and maybe even date Taylor Lautner.

Maybe when I see the movie a few more times -like 37- I'll decide to be mature again.

We'll see.

Yes I agree, it was so so good! Especially compared to Twilight. All of the teenage girls where squealing and clapping and while I didn't join in, I sure wanted to :)

It was so much better than the first one! And I got a litle hot and bothered myself with Jacob shirtless the whole time.

I'm so glad you liked New moon! I feel like so many people say it's their least favorite---it was good. I'm not really Team Jacob or Edward, I just like the books. But let's be honest, Taylor Lautner was so dang hot in that movie! If I did pick a team, he'd have a super strong argument right now:)

My oh my, that picture's practically pornographic! ;)

I think I WILL go ahead and see the movie before the book. I have to figure out a way to understand the obsession and a movie just seems like a quicker way to do it.

I KNEW you would be a Team Jacob girl! I mean, since we're practically soul twins, it was kind of a given. And I too loved the second book, and have been worried that the movie would be as big a let down as the first one was.

After your glowing review (and the picture of Jacob - who unfortunately looks NOTHING like any of the actual Native Americans from the Forks area {I know, I live there}) I may just cave in and go see it.

Miss you, by the way. Your hystericalness lights up my life.

So, you're probably wondering who the heck your soul-sister Diane is. That would be my mother, this would be her computer, and that would be me, forgetting to log myself in.

You still light up my life.

I haven't seen the movie yet but I'm glad to hear it is better than the first one!! I'm a team Edward person when reading the books but after seeing all the previews for New Moon it is making me rethink my decision!

hair loss and mourning

By
I like Monkey's hair long.  I tried to grow out Opie's hair when he was younger, but he has always had a tremendously large head, and he also has very thick wavy hair.  You pair those two together, throw in some long locks, and you've got yourself a genuinely bonified giant-head child.  So I've learned my lesson: keep Opie's hair short. But Monkey's hair?  It's so soft, and straight (our only straight-haired child) and super super cute when it's long.  SUPER CUTE.  (Agree with me - it's my blog.)  But not many people liked the whole long hair thing.  I kept having to threaten various family members with things like, "If I come back to find him with short hair I will DISOWN you, run away with my kids and you will never hear from us again.  EVER."  (Husband was particularly sensitive to this threat.) However, I did say that once random strangers started referring to him as a girl, I would consider cutting it.  And even though ...

We took the kids to a rodeo today.  In my mind I knew I wanted to take them for the experience, but also I was thinking:  rodeo=country western torture. I've been to a few rodeos before.  The small town next to the small town where I grew up had one every summer.  It was always hot and super dusty, and everyone got to sit on rickety-ish old stadium benches that didn't have backs.  Also, you had to make sure you didn't wear flip flops, because they could fall under the benches and get trampled by the waiting bulls.  (Seriously, there were bulls below us once - I was like 9, it scared the poop out of me, I thought my shoes were goners.) But the rodeo today?  SUPER AWESOME.  I would bet money that I had a better time than my kids did.  (And they didn't even play that much country music, which is great, because I think that would have ruined the whole thing for me.) First of all, it was indoors.  And at noon.  And had special fam...
