Last weekend my gym had our "fitness competition" for our spring 2009 fitness challenge and my team rocked the house. This is my second team in a row that is and will blow away the competition. Our team "uniforms" were these sweet little mullets and let me tell you, they were awesome. I seriously looked like Joe Dirt, good thing I was too busy to make the pic.
Then Saturday night we finally had a much overdue girls night. Dinner and movie, nothing fancy but if it were up to me it would have been take-out and Blockbuster. (I'll get to more of that later) We saw "He's just not that into you" - cute and recommended.
Jenn and Josh just bought a new house so I stopped by to see it - darling! Congratulations guys! How cute is her belly!?!
Figures that the only picture of all of us would turn out blurry but you get the idea.
I wish that my popcorn was not the size of a small child but...
Jenn and I spent more on our movie treats than both of our meals at dinner combined. Oops! (Jenn, your welcome for not posting our "fat kid" picture)
Mel getting down with her ice cream sandwich. Just one of the many reasons I love that girl.
So, I haven't been to a movie (okay 1) since we moved to Colorado 4 years ago and didn't go to many in Utah (except for Lord of the Rings, which we would actually go to on opening night (all 3). Does that make us lame? Not to mention I would kill for a #4.)
Anyhow, I totally remembered why I don't go to movies...
#1 The lady in front of you that turns around and asks you to stop kicking her seat.
What am I? A 12 year old? I wasn't kicking your seat you old bag and maybe if you weren't so dang rude you could have gotten someone to go to the movie with instead of sitting by your stupid self - I hate rude people. She totally ruined my night and that happened before the movie even started. At home the only rude person I would have to deal with is T.J. and I'll kick his seat as much as I want to.
#2 My sciatic nerve in my right leg started hurting halfway through the movie and I couldn't even shift around to try to make it stop in fear that I would "kick the seat" in front of me. At home I would be in a theater chair with a blanket and I could move around at my leisure.
#3 I cried. I hate to cry in public or private for that matter and so I did that stupid thing where you try not to cry and then you just get a sore throat and a headache (I know you know what I'm talking about). Idiot, just cry. I had a headache the whole way home. At home I would cry, T.J. would pause the movie so that I could pull myself together - no headache!
#4 I was wearing jeans. Of course I was wearing jeans, why not? I spend a small fortune on jeans but it turns out that I hate wearing them. I work in sweats, I lounge in sweats and let's face it, sometimes I go out to eat in sweats. Jeans and I - not so good of friends. And after a full meal, a giant bag of popcorn, peanut M&M's and sour watermelon I was bursting at the seams. The only thing that made me feel better was leaving the theatre and noticing that Mel had her button undone - HA! I don't even need to tell you what I'd be wearing at home - okay you guessed it, sweats.
#5 Last but not least, you feel like you might get shot for getting up to go to the bathroom. Heaven forbid someone might have to pee in the next 110 minutes! At home, you can pee at will.
This all, however, did not take away from how great it was to see everyone! Love you girls!
I met Baby Bron
Before we even lit the cake Cael was pulling out the candles and licking off the frosting. My kinda kid!
Cael got his very own leapster for his birthday and he kept saying "Look Immy (that's what he calls me). I playin' my leapster." and that is basically what these two did 1/3 of the day everyday. They would come downstairs and climb in bed with me every morning and play their leapsters . I could get used to that!
Waiting for my train to take me home.
Last hugs goodbye.
