J&W who lost a baby last year (I would link to the post but can’t seem to find it. their last son was stillborn with a genetic disorder Trisomy 18 I believe) had a bouncing baby boy this morning. I’m so happy for them. Scott in fact is at the hospital now with S visiting. I’m quite jealous because I heard they had posted “family only” for visitors and I can’t really leave right now anyway because of work. But hopefully I’ll get over to see all three of them.

I seem to be in a good mood today for whatever reason. I did go to bed early and sleep in and now have had a cup of coffee so it could be caffeine-induced. In either case, I like good moods so I’m not complaining.
Last evening was quite uneventful as birthday evenings go. I went to bible study and youth group. They did sing happy birthday to me as a group so I suppose that was nice. I was in bed I think by 10 so I am now sure I am getting old.
Scott is off today and will be until Monday. We have quite a busy weekend planned beginning tomorrow when I go to the office and then head to the Cheesecake Factory for the last “Amy is 29” celebration. And just thinking of all the yard sale items I need to get to Mom’s before Saturday makes me quite tired and stressed. I believe I must not concentrate on the weekend and not kill this good mood I am in. So, later, alligator.
29
Yes, I’m 29 today. We technically celebrated last night. So that’s why there’s birthday pictures already. We went out to eat at Longhorn’s with my family. It was very yummy. I even got a free sundae. I felt like a big fat cow afterwards I ate so much. The girls ended up going home with Mom and Dad and me, Scott and Heather went to Target. Among other things we got Emma a new car seat and as part of my birthday present, I bought a new pair of shoes and new rugs for the kitchen–yes, I’m getting old. I bought rugs for my birthday. Nice.
So Mom and the girls had gone home and made me a cake. They brought it home at 9:30 last night and we did a mini birthday party. Again. I didn’t weigh myself this morning just to avoid the disappointment. Anyway, it was really nice though. I love. that. cake. This morning Scott called first thing to wish me a happy birthday and then showed up with Starbuck’s. It literally put a smile on my face.
I have scheduled my mother’s day hot stone massage for today at noon. Can’t wait for that. The girls are not leaving today until 4 and then I’m headed to bible study and church, hence the celebration last night. All in all, it should be a good day.
Really?
Will Ferrell does the voice for the Man in the Yellow Hat in the 2006 Curious George movie?? Really??
I thought I might have recognized his voice whilst the movie played over and over in my house and van but I had no idea it was him…
New Page
I added a new page Mommy Talk. I find myself saying things that are just random, weird, gross, or otherwise things I just never expected to say in my lifetime. I keep saying I’m going to write them down so I can remember, so this is my attempt. I know there are so many I’ve missed out on over the past 4 years with Emma but better late than never I guess.
Stranger Than Fiction
*spoilers ahead*
I really enjoyed this movie. I would have never imagine Will Ferrell could pull of being an IRS agent but I think he did it and did it well. I loved that they threw in some trying-to-be-funny-like-Will-Ferrell lines. I found myself laughing out loud to several parts of the movie.
I just loved the scene were he brought her “flours” and told her “I want you”. I had a little bit of a hard time with Will Ferrell and Maggie Gyllenhal being together but not anymore weirded out than I was with Jake Gyllenhal and Heath Ledger. Will and Maggie just seem like an unlikely couple. But somehow, Harold and Ana pulled off the spark and I was convinced they wanted each other.
I really enjoyed the twisted plot of this. I always seemed to be on the edge of my seat waiting to find out what happened next to Harold Crick. I felt like all the acting was solid and I am so happy they didn’t kill Harold Crick and somehow I was ok with the fact he was plastered by a bus and I was supposed to believe it didn’t kill him.
I loved the scene when Harold is reading the entire manuscript at the end. It’s like he’s holding his entire life in his hands, including the end, and he makes a decision to read it. Isn’t that a classic question? Would you want to know how you died if you could? And he chooses to read it and he accepts his poetic death, using his life to save someone else’s. Man, that would have been a great end. But I’m glad he lived and knowing what facing the end is like, he would go on to live his life to the fullest.
On Victoria Beckham
I’m not sure whether I want to BE her and BE WITH her. Wow. I watched her new show last night and she is so. pretty. Every time she would come on the screen I was like, She’s pretty. Perfect body, gorgeous hair, impeccable style, very witty and do we need to mention her husband?
Yes, we should mention her husband.
He’s hot. And talented. And 60 Billion dollars. Omg, I could look like Victoria if I had that much money to spend. Back to David…where was I? Oh yes, he’s hot and talented and rich. Those W pictures? They are both hot. Have I mentioned how hot both of them are?
Yeah, Welcome to America, Victoria and David.

So last night I went to the gym, came home and went swimming. The kids weren’t up for too much longer after that and M, a graduate of the youth group stopped by our neighbor’s house to drop something off and ended up staying and telling my of her drama from the weekend. Apparently her and a few other friends went driving/walking downtown Charlotte. Two of the girls got mad, starting walking around and WENT HOME with a RANDOM father and son and stayed at their house until the wee hours of the morning. And one of them showed up Sunday morning in one of their gym shorts. Nice. Anyway, after she left, we watched Stranger than Fiction. And that is about it for my incredibly exciting night.
L is coming today which works out well since I have a meeting this morning and also I about went crazy yesterday because I was so busy at work and the girls were SO whiny. Anyway, since I have bible study and church tomorrow night, all of my family is doing my birthday dinner tonight at Longhorn’s. I think Mom is making my favorite chocolate cake too.
Gosh, I think those last two Vintage posts have fried my brain to mush, I don’t feel as if I can write anything of any sort of merit.
