I Need Some Popcorn

Sister Quilter called me the other day to tell me she had FINALLY seen Quantum of Solace. It's about damn time; I seriously have no clue as to what took her so long. She saw Twilight opening weekend and it wasn't half as good. I was excited, "Wasn't it great!?! Did you just love it or what?"

She paused and kind of laughed, "Yeah, um, I didn't really like it."

"What? How could you not like it?" I was stunned. Seriously, how could you not like it?

"Well, it just went from chase scene to chase scene. And there really wasn't any plot, they just kept chasing people."

"There was to a plot. And of course there's a lot of action, it's James Bond."

"It was like those other movies, um. . .what are they called. . .I can't remember."

I knew exactly what she was talking about, "The Bourne movies?"

"Yeah! It was like 'They're jumping through another window?'"

"Those were great movies, full of action. You just can't blink or you'd miss something!"

"Well, I just don't love those as much as you."

Yeah, I know. She likes chick flicks, which I don't really enjoy all that much. All that sentimental mushy stuff is nauseating. You can always count on James Bond for some serious action and just enough romance to soften the story line a little bit. I seriously don't know how she came from the same parents as I did. Except for the family resemblance you might think she was adopted.

P.S. I'll still love you Sister Quilter!

Update to Quantum of Solace

The Movie came out today! Olaf bought me the movie with the calendar to hang up at work. He really loves me!

It's Over

It was Totally Awesome!

Countdown!

TOMORROW IS THE DAY!

Yes, I have tickets!

Countdown!

3 Days Left!

Countdown!

ONLY 4 DAYS TO GO!

(yes, I am excited! The countdown will probably
be in all caps this week cuz I can't help myself!)

Countdown!

Last night we got to check out the new movie theater in Orem. It's really pretty! I used to do daycare for the manager of the theater and so he gave us Family & Friends passes. I got to see Journey to the Center of the Earth with Olaf, Baby, and Baby's friend. Middle Child and his friend saw Igor. I really wanted to see that but would have had to sit in the front row on the side; I did that once and won't ever do it again! Here's the countdown again!

9 Days To Go!

Countdown!

The other night I got ready for bed. I pulled out my big exercise ball, laid back on it, put my feet against the wall, cuz they're always slipping, and tried to do a sit up. OUCH! I couldn't move at all! I rolled off laughing at myself! I'm still sore, what in the hell made me think I could do a sit up on a ball which is hard enough when I don't have any bruises or soreness!

For everyone's watching pleasure:

16 Days Left!

I love the scary castle in the background. Is there any way they can bump it to Halloween? I sure would be happy about that at least!

Countdown!

3 Weeks - 1 Day!

Countdown!

3 Weeks Left!

Life & Love

Today was the first day without a million people around. Technically, yesterday was, but today the only people left were parents. It's the last day the kids will be home from school. Grandma took them to lunch and the movie. They sure are getting spoiled! Olaf & I ran some errands and he had an appointment with the plastic surgeon to make sure he was healing well. Everything went well. We got everything on our list completed except some items that were under the heading, 'Any Time.' I felt like we accomplished quite a bit today. I also felt it! I am so tired this evening that I'm ready for bed NOW.

The past week has been a roller coaster. I will write about it over the next few posts. All I can say for now is that I have never ever been the recipient of such an outpouring of love. Pure, Unadulterated, Perfect, Complete, Selfless, LOVE. It has been an incredible and exhausting experience. I had no idea my child had touched so many peoples lives and I had absolutely no idea that so many people cared about us. Our families alone were wonderful and the community support we have been shown has been so incredible that I can't begin to describe the love shown. Words would only downplay the experience I have had over the last week.

I will probably not keep the countdown going everyday, but for those looking forward to the movie, including me, here is an attempt to make up for the last while.

22 Days To Go!

Sorry I didn't, couldn't, post this sooner today. Some people in this household have been playing WoW all day. Between 3 people it doesn't take much time for any of them to take the whole day together. I had to push them off to get this in!

Countdown!

34 Days and Counting!

Countdown!

35 Days!

Or, exactly 5 weeks to go! Feel the anticiaption! You know you'll be waiting in line! Oh, wait, that's me that's gonna be leaving work early and standing in line for the movie. Hope to see you there with me!

Countdown!

Day 36

Yesterday may have been too dreamy for some of you, so no pictures of the man tonight. But tune in tomorrow!

Countdown!

37 Days!

For Sister Accountant who said he looks so dreamy in a swimsuit. I know it's the wrong movie, but, oh well. Hopefully you can all live with the inconsistency.

Countdown!

There will now be a daily countdown to the new James Bond movie! I thought about making a paper chain, but then nobody would be able to enjoy the countdown with me. So I am going public! You will get a new picture every day. So tune in and enjoy! And if you've read this before you won't be surprised by this at all!

Day 38

I had no idea that my last blog would get such a response! I honestly thought about not posting it because it was kind of disparaging and I don't want to be that way. I want to be funny and uplifting. But I enjoyed the responses! So keep on responding, it makes me feel good!

Check out my sister's blog about last weekend right here (click on here). She came down to visit and we had soooooo much fun!
