We went, we saw, we came home. And it was good.

I thought I would take a break from Laundry Day Monday to share with you my brief encounter with the latest craze.

The above video is my [sortof] review of New Moon. We went with 5 other couples all of whose company I truly enjoy. With this crowd, laughing till your sides and your cheekies hurt goes without saying.



Amy and Rusty (above left) are looking to adopt. Know anyone who can help?
We went to dinner at our favorite steakhouse, and were even treated to some movie popcorn at the theatre. Mmmmm. Mostly I loved being on a date with my hunky hubby.


I wasn't overly impressed with the movie New Moon, mainly because I'm not overly in love with the book New Moon. But I must say, it was 10 times better than Twilight. And it may be because of the company; ie, Michael. (What does that even mean anyway? ie. Psh.)  I did not embarrass him by wearing a shirt that said, "Warm blooded men make my blood warm" but I did laugh at inappropriate times and that was only because I was maybe a little bit embarrassed for the movie in certain parts and wanted to reassure Michael that "Yes, I know this is a little lame, and I'm laughing to show you what a good time I'm having and that I'm not a total Twi-loser and that on some level I think it's all a bit odd." I'm pretty sure he got my drift.
Also, I am a firm believer that misery loves company. This photo should drive that point home for you.

P.S. Was anyone else disturbed by all the creepy new vampire previews we were forced to endure? I am especially haunted by the little old lady {sweetly} telling her pregnant waitress that her baby would burn and then turning into a rabid zombie-ish vampire. Agh! Seriously, it won't leave my head.
P.P.S. How funny is Amy in the video? I'm a little awkward in front of the camera, but Amy is right at home and HIL.ARI.OUS. And as she demonstrates for us below...

Some fans go too far.

Creepy grandma that jumps and crawls on the walls and ceiling. shudder. eek.
I did like the movie - SO MUCH better that the first, and I'm looking forward to the next one i.e. eclipse.
I'm not overly in love with this book/movie either, and those that took their 'love' i.e. screaming, to the extreme i.e. laughing at parts that only normal humans would think to themselves 'oh chuckle that is some what humorous' ON THE INSIDE rather that laughing out loud and somewhat irritatingly. i.e. e.e.

I wonder if my man will ever grow his hair out? Don't you think that when a man has hair that is thick and rich like a man's hair should be, it should be long? No man-bun style though. Bleh. Kinda like this... But seriously. Who didn't have a crush on Grizzly Adams?  Hunta boi is playing football again. This year, the 2016-17 school year, will be his last year playing high school football. Say what?!? For reals. He's a senior y'all. A SENIOR. Can you hear my panic? Did you just see my eyeballs pop out of my head, roll across the floor, gather dust mites and come a rollin' back to me? That means we (I) only have a limited time left with him at home. The days are slipping away like seconds on a clock. Much as I try, I can't seem to stop that mean old man, Father Time, and his clock that is tick-tick-tocking away. Though I must say, we are SO proud of who he is growing up to be. Of who he is today. And we really are very excited to see where his lif...

I know I've told you before, but I'll say it again. I love to get my hair done. There's just something about having someone else play with my hair that puts me into a hypnotic state. It's soooo relaxing, and I love the feeling of fresh, soft, just done-by-someone-else hair. It's also something that I don't do often for 2 reasons: 1) I'm lazy and don't like having to maintain my hair. 2) It can get pretty pricey. It may be because I fell into one of those hypnotic states that the following disaster occurred. I guess my first clue of impending doom should have been when my stylist decided to get her nails done. At the same time that I showed up for my appointment. Now, I'm a compassionate person, I didn't think it was a big deal, so I shrugged it off, and waited patiently for her to finish. My next sign on the road to "bad hair-dom" was when she asked the stylist next to her what colors were used on my hair previously, because she j...
