Mmm, add me some Marky Mark to my fake boyfriend list. I liked him when I was 12 and apparently still do at 28! Oh, this is a movie review. Yes, the movie was good. Really good actually. Mark did well playing this role. His menacing stare and athletic build lended well to a military rebel type of role. His words were few in the movie but the acting was still well carried out. The plot was a little too easy to figure out. Even *I* didn’t have to ask questions about what was going on. The clues about his friend’s girlfriend almost seemed like an afterthought just so the plot would work and they could weave in even a small romance. And that was disappointing as well. Not even a kiss! I did like the meeting at the end, didn’t really go like I thought it would which is a good thing. The rest of the movie was a little predictable. It’s definitely a shoot ’em up movie with a hollywood star at the helm and his pretty girlfriend supporting him but I’m such a sucker, I loved it. In fact, I plan to keep it long enough for Scott to watch it and I’m looking forward to seeing it again.

Scott update
So I haven’t mentioned all the stuff going on at Scott’s job recently. They want him to take over the CRO job that is coming available at some point soon. That is the person who talks to the media when there is wreck and goes and talks to the schools and such. Apparently his supervisors think he’d be the best at it but also don’t want to lose his activity on the road. And if he does take it, it’s M-F 9-5 kind of job and then on-call after hours for the state with other CROs around the state. So that would really stink for my job. I wouldn’t have the help he provides, especially when I need to go into the office every so often. Either way, I think Scott is going to turn it down. He doesn’t want to go off the road yet.
In other news, someone else on his shift was given an unmarked car. Someone who doesn’t deserve it as much (even the guy admitted) but for some reason the supervisors felt like they had other plans for Scott and didn’t give it to him. It may have been the CRO position. Not sure yet. But Scott and the guy that got it are really good friends and they are fine with each other but that’s all the drama rolling around right now.
Impending Drama
Ya’ll, I feel it coming on again. We had some drama within our youth group last year. And now, things are brewing again. I don’t really want to go into details because really, who knows who reads this but please pray that it works out ok. Things could get really, really bad if it goes wrong. Best case, it will blow over but I’m guessing at least something will happen and if it does, I will NOT be a happy camper.
Repeat
In a lot of ways today was a repeat of yesterday. L did come today from about 10-2 yay! After VBS we went to Blockbuster and they watched their movies for about 30 minutes when we got home and now they are tucked in Emma’s bed. This is becoming a habit that I’m not sure is good or not. They do really good together and go right to sleep. I think it’s sweet for now. Hopefully it won’t backfire on me. What would be nice is to give them our queen and have them share a room, us get a king size bed and then make Lexi’s room a playroom or office.
Anyway, VBS was good. Much less chaotic than last night. We are picking up kids in a few neighborhoods around town and we have about 60 extra kids no one really knows and they don’t know our church so it made for a confusing first night. Most of them seemed to settle in tonight though. My job got hectic though. Last night I spent time wandering around taking pictures most of the night but tonight I was tasked with getting an individual picture of all ~120 kids. Yeah, that was fun. So I was quite busy tonight.
Now I’m home. Working a little, surfing the Internet a little. I got Mark Wahlberg’s new DVD Shooter from Blockbuster tonight. Not sure if I’ll stay up or not. I drank a Mountain Dew at church tonight so I guess I’ll be up whether I want to or not.
A Blur
Today was a blur. I had a hard time getting up this morning. Lexi woke me up. I think she may have slid out of Emma’s bed last night (they requested to sleep together last night..and tonight, in fact). Then the storms were so bad, I couldn’t go back to sleep and then it seemed like I was up every hour.
I worked consistently this morning and then after lunch we went to Mom’s house while our carpet got cleaned. The rest of the evening was spent at church. This week is VBS.
Both girls are in the 3-5 class. Lexi was NOT having it at first but apparently found someone to latch onto and then was fine. It killed me to walk by and see that scared/confused/someone help me look on her face and not go sit in the class with her the whole time. I’m not teaching this year. I’m the technical director whatever that means. Tonight all I did was hunt around for a DVD player and RCA jacks and then took pictures all night.
The good news is the girls were wiped out by the time we did that, went to the bank, post office and grocery store after that and came home. They ate a doughnut, put their jammies on and were asleep within 5 mintues, literally. So here I am. Scott is at work, I’m on my computer listening to Kelly Clarkson’s new CD and there is absolutely no furniture in the living room.

June 23, 1993
I ended up finding a post for yesterday and can’t find one for today so I’m posting this one.
Well, I have nowhere else to put what I’m feeling except here. I went to church on Sunday and sat with G both am and pm. Monday we had bible study and a service thign about cults. I sat with him. Monday afterwards he asked me to go with him to the movies on Tuesday. I was in heaven. Monday when I got home I prayed for a dream to let me know if I was supposed to be with him or not. I had a dream we were going out. He called me Tuesday letting me know a friend had come into town that had moved and he was going to do something with him. I was cool with it because I kenw I was going to go to the service that night and I could see him there. I called N up to see if I could get a ride to the church and she was getting tires put on her car. I got I guess you could say depressed and lied down and went to sleep for 2 hours. I got up, ate, and went back to sleep. I had a dream that I was with G and a couple other people and we went to go talk to someone and he just left me. I got upset because I didn’t know why he left. When I woke up I became upset or depressed or something. I think I felt the dream showed or was trying to tell me that he didn’t really care about me. All morning I’ve been depressed because I felt like when I go to church tonight he’s just going to act like he doesn’t like me and ignore me like he did the first couple of days of camp. Now I don’t know how I feel. I keep trying to think about God and how he loves me but sometimes I think I need or I guess want someone to love me. I know I have family and friends but I finally thought I met someone who was perfect for me. He’s funny, kind a cute, a Christian. It just all fits and I guess when I thought about him not liking me it hurt. I didn’t know I liked him that much, but I guess I do. I’m just praying he feels the same way about me. It would be good to finally have somebody I could really like because the way they were and not because they liked me first. That’s another thing I’m worried about. What if he just likes me because I like him? I don’t know. I just need to know what he’s thinking. I’m sort of getting tired of liking someone for nothing. It’s sort of like when you like a car so much and you want it so bad, but you know there’s no way you could ever have it. [uh, yeah, like that]. I don’t want to waste my summer liking him when he’s not going to like me. Of course, at least 3 people have told me they thought he liked me, but they don’t know what he’s thinking or feeling. I guess he can’t hate me because he wouldn’t have asked me out if he did. Another thing that bothers me is HF. Monday night she was flirting all over him. I had to tell myself that I can’t hate her. When S like him, she would always get so upset when she would flirt with him and I never understood why she made such a big deal about it. Now I see exactly why she got upset. I guess it’s just insecurity. Thinking that if she does that, he’ll start liking her. But then again, I sort of have a right to be insecure about this whole thing. I mean he hasn’t exactly told me he likes me. Ughhh! This is too stressful!
What you need to know now:
*rolling eyes* What was that all about? Geesh, I think if anything, I wasted way too much worrying about all of it. I believe we did end up going out to the movies. I remember my mom driving me up to Charlotte to his house. Maybe we’ll get the details in a future post lol.
