G's Holiday Movie review!!!! Started the weekend early by renting Best in Show and What Women Want. I enjoyed Best in Show. Lately, I've had this new found interest in dogs. I've never been much of a dog person, but now I admit I am. All because of adopting Dioji. This movie is all about people being really obsessed with their pure bread dogs. A whole really different society! It's all improve and great. What Women Want was OK. I just thought it was stupid that he has sex with the girl that he doesn't love and that he won't have sex with the woman he really loves. Even thought he supposedly understands women more, he still screws them over. Definitely not the top pick of the weekend.
We went to see A Knight's Tale in the theater. It was cute. I liked the jousting story more that the love story. But, I think the fair maiden in it had cool clothes. She wasn't such a "fair" maiden though. She looks a little ethnic for medieval Europe. No wonder, she was born in Hawaii. It was kinda weird how they had rock songs mixed in a medieval setting, but somehow it worked.
We also watched Duets which we rented. Just OK. Huey Lewis is good singer, but can kinda act. Gwenyth Paltrow is a good actress, but can kinda sing. Phil said that anybody can sound good if they practice a song over and over again. I told him, "Yeah, unless they're tone deaf."
To finish the weekend, we saw Shrek. At first I thought it was stupid of us seeing it without watching it with kids, but the humor in it is not really for kids. It was so funny though. Everyone should see it. I'd like to go again. Moral of the story: Even if your fat and green, you can still find true love.
Only 2 more days to go before the weekend. Aren't 3 day weekends great! Happy Birthday, Mom! -g
Cars, Cars, Cars… Agnes purchased a nice,fun, brand new, $$$ car this weekend. Oh, to buy something fun and sporty and $$$ just for yourself. She wanted to go all out on the purchase of her very first brand new car. I keep telling her, at least, she's happy and won't want another car in a couple years, because this is her dream car already!
There's more…Ag showed Amie her new car. One thing lead to another. (Look what you started Ag!) And Amie test drove a car the very same day she saw Ag's new one. Amie ended up picking up her very own brand new car the following day.
Oh my goodness! I have two people to call if I want to go cruis'n…
Happy new cars to both of you….

Somedays you have to eat grapes all day. Last time I cheated. I like to call it MODIFY. I know it's crazy, but at least it's changing my eating habits. If I didn't say I'm on a diet, I would literally eat everything and anything. I'm finding myself refusing things because they don't seem healthy or I'm not in the mood for the taste. We'll see how it goes. I know a better way is to just exercise everyday, but lately there is no time!
We finally have walls at Phil's house!!! It's coming right along. I don't know if we'll be finished by the big day, but it should be good enough to live in and then we have the rest of our lives to fix up the fixer upper.
I also got my baby fix on Friday night, by going over and visiting Baby Max. So sweet! And his new parents are so cute, the way they're following what the books say and keeping him sparkling clean and happy all the time. By the time, their second one comes they'll know everything. What a beautiful family they're making.
Mailing invitations, tasting foodfor the menu, reminding my mom to sew, putting together favors, and figuring out what else is left to be done. AND most important trying to do all this without STRESSING myself out and STRESSING out Philip and everyone else who's trying to help. Seems like some days, I just want to get it over with…
Today's song: Shady Sadie, serving lady Don't pay her no mind, no She'll take every dime She's got a one-a-day lunch Good for all the bunch, yeah Hot lunch, yeah
Macaroni and baloney Tuna fish, our favorite dish Hot lunch, hey If it's yellow, then it's jello If it's blue it could be stew oo, oo
She's got a one-a-day lunch Good for all the bunch Hey, now Hot, hot lunch Oh, oh, no Yeah
Oh, the joy of my first apartment! Have you ever seen Joe's Apartment? Well, this is the story of Gian's apartment. It was ok living there at first, but the longer I stayed, little by little, it got worse. One night I was awoken, a noise rumbling the whole ceiling of my apartment. Ok, this scared the sh** out of me. But I soon figured out that whoever lived above me had the loudest SNORE in the world. But wait, it gets better…Everyday I found "ants" in my bathtub and everyday I would spray them with Raid and wash them down the drain. My shower smelled of Raid and shampoo. I could never take a real bath(although I never took them, but I was on my own and trying new things). I always had to take a standing shower. Then I noticed that when I turned on the lights in the kitchen, I would hear noises…creatures scattering to find hiding places. The place was …INFESTED! Those "ants" in the bathtub were actually baby cockroaches. One morning, while I was enjoying a nice warm shower(don't say it Gian, I'm gonna gag!), there was a big old Cockroach staring at me sitting right on the tile. I don't know how I did it, but that was it!
I admit I am a former cockroach hunter…It takes at least 10 squirts of Raid to kill a cockroach. If you use only 5 it only stuns them for 10 minutes. Sometimes there would be little streaks of bug spray on the counter from one walking while its dying. It has to be the liquid spray Raid too. I don't think those little roach traps or zap it discs work. Another thing that works is a heavy old tennis shoe. I always kept one right by the entry of the kitchen and armed myself with it when I went in there. Then I would turn the lights on and start the chase and swat!
This is why I'm no longer squeamish when it comes to bugs. I'm not gonna let a little insect terrorize me out of my first apartment. That's why I could handle the ones in the Philippines. Those suckers are huge! And even when you hit them a couple times, they still get up and walk around. They'll even run away from you when you're trying to stomp on them…
By the way, Good luck with your new place Amie! If you see a roach in your neighborhood,…Who you gonna call?
Today's song:
Gotta make a move to a town that's right for me Town to keep me movin' Keep me groovin' with some energy.
Well, I talk about it, Talk about it, Talk about it, Talk about it, Talk about, Talk about, Talk about movin,…
