AI Top 8

Seems to be mixed feelings about performances last night. What I thought…

Blake – best of the night, hands down. he’s just so COOL

Phil – bad, didn’t enjoy it at all. hurt my ears and i wanted to fast forward

Haley – legs, unimpressive singing, she can go any time

Jordin – very impressed. she actually sounded good compared to some of the others last night. she keeps getting better and better.

Melinda – i didn’t get the sexy thing last night although her vocals were good

Lakisha – she’s going downhill quickly. just nothing different. not improving.

Sanjaya – wow, i actually thought he did well last night. improvement like that every week and he might make top 5 after all

Chris – eh, he’s never been one of my favorites and he looks great and all but his vocals just don’t match the others.

Dialidol has Lakisha at the bottom and I’m not surprised. I really want Phil to go though.

This movie might be the most confusing movie I have ever seen. I love Matt Damon and I enjoyed him in this. But he didn’t speak much, which was a quality of this lead character. He looks good without speaking so no complaints here. Which has nothing to do with the actual movie..so moving on…This movie, I later found out, was about the start of the CIA. Everything about this movie was about codes and secrets and information and disinformation and make you go crazy kind of thing. Most of the movie was tied together by finding out two things…one, who around him had alerted the Russians before the Bay of Pigs and two, who or what or where was the picture that was left under his door at the beginning of the movie. It turns out the two are tied together. But anyway. I ended up “getting” that part of the movie but there were several things you just knew were important and had hidden meaning but you just couldnt’ figure out the double-speak or codes. I read some things online that explained a few things. I’d like to watch it again to see if it’s easier to watch but it’s 3 hours so I’m not sure I want to spend another 3 hours of my life watching this ultra-detailed movie. I’m very surprised they cast Angelina Jolie in this movie. Ignored housewife doesn’t seem to fit her. I’m not sure whether to recommend this movie it is so much work. It seems worth checking out just to see if you “get it” and it does spawn some good conversation. Much kuddos to the writers and other makers of the movie though. Wow, couldn’t have thought of all that.

Day 3

April 11, 2007 by Amy Leave a Comment

I think this is Day 3 anyway…depends how you count it. Anyway, we are doing well so far. I made dinner last night and we headed back to the gym. A fabulous distraction for all 3 of us. Heather was at the house when we got back and stayed through American Idol and House. M showed up halfway through AI and then she stayed also through The Good Shepherd until 1am. More on the shows/movie later. The kids were quite rambunctious after more Easter candy and finally were out around 9. The kids are handling being home without school quite well this week. They are both sleeping in until almost 9 and are happy to play around the house. I even offered for them to go outside to play yesterday when it was warm enough to go out and they didn’t want to go. So I guess that’s good they’re not whiny about going places. Which they can do that sometimes. And today, they actually do go somewhere. And I’m helping with the youth spaghetti dinner tonight so my afternoon and evening are mapped out as well.

Update: I talked to S and she said she heard from S this morning so they are all good.

Day One Done

April 10, 2007 by Amy Leave a Comment

No news yet whether they’ve arrived anywhere but no news is good news I suppose. They supposedly have landed in Germany and are now on a flight to Istanbul. Hopefully by the afternoon we will have heard something.

The girls and I are doing well so far. The girls ate their dinner and then I took them to the gym. The girl had to come get me because Lexi needed a diaper. She said, I heard Scott is in Turkey. I was like how did you hear that? She said Emma! I thought that was cute. So we came home and immediately got baths. Then Lexi fell asleep in the recliner so she was out by 8:30. Emma was out by 9:15. It was a very relaxing evening actually. I spent the rest of the evening watching tv (more on that in a minute) and reading.

So far it feels like Scott was on night shift and is sleeping now. If I keep thinking like that I think I can get through. I usually have them all day on Tuesdays. And tomorrow is Wednesday and even though they don’t have school, they will be going to his mom’s as normal. Thursday may be a long day also especially since I have a meeting in the morning but hopefully we’ll get out to eat like normal with my parents. Friday my mom usually gets the girls and of course Friday night and Saturday they stay at ILs again. And then we’re back to our busy Sunday and school is on Monday. So I think we can do this without going insane. I love my kids but sometimes you just need a break from being referree, servant, driver, cook and anything else you can think of.

Emma sick…again..

So Emma broke out in a fever on Saturday. She kept it through Sunday. I figured she was getting whatever Lexi had last week. But then last evening she broke out in some rash. It looked like she was sunburnt on her torso. At 7:30 I ran her over to the urgent care center and turns out she probably has strep throat and scarlet fever. Nice. So we got her started on antibiotics and she should no longer be contagious after tonight and all better before the week’s end.

Magazine is here!

March 30, 2007 by Amy Leave a Comment

It’s for real! The magazine comes out this weekend and it’s already online! I think it looks pretty good although I have nitpicky things to say about the pictures. I think overall Melissa does a great job of making the magazine look clean, streamline and hip. I’m thinking about taking those pages out and having them framed. Have no idea where I’d put them but I think they’d look good in a black frame matted in glass (you know where there’s just glass where the matting goes).

People from work want signed copies which is really funny to me. My manager is out of town next week and he wants me to leave a signed copy on his desk. I don’t think I’ll have a “signature” signature except that I’m planning to sign it like I do my checks lol. I thought about putting the Proverbs 31:30 reference on it but then I’m not sure. And then I thought of XOXOXO but then is that really appropriate for my manager? I really don’t want to make a big deal about it…it is only a free magazine that my best friend from 3rd grade took pictures of me in her living room for free. LOL.

Randomness

Scott’s off doing a side job today. Hoping to make some extra spending money for the Turkey trip. Apparently getting jewelry and rugs over there is a good thing.

Speaking of the Turkey trip, his trip is less than 2 weeks away. Sort of surreal. I am really excited for him. I can’t wait to hear what happens. He is going with a group he really gets along with and I just think they will be great together.

I am pretty tired today. I feel like I just need a nap. I’ve been going to bed late and having to get up with the girls through the night. And I can tell I had no nap on Sunday.

I think Scott might stay home with the girls and let me go to youth camp by myself in June. We just found out David Nasser is going to be the speaker again which is really cool. I’m getting really excited…one week with no husband or kids while they are all safely tucked away at home together. Woot!

kids STILL sick

March 27, 2007 by Amy Leave a Comment

So last night Lexi about coughed up her lungs and I had to get up and give her a breathing treatment at some point in the middle of the night. Scott was up with her around 6am to hold her in the recliner so she’d quit coughing. Emma started the coughing and sneezing this morning and Lexi’s one eye looks suspicious. Great, they are trading illnesses. I find myself quite tired this morning.
