Life is....a song and dance.

The past couple of weekends I've gone to the movies. It's been too darn hot outside to do anything else. This past weekend I saw "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2." I know what you're thinking, but it was a really good movie. Cheesy perhaps, but I liked it. The weekend before I saw, "Mamma Mia." Some people don't understand how you can make a musical from ABBA songs, but let me just tell you I loved it. The other thing I should tell you is that Pierce Brosnan was NOT hired because of his singing, which was NOT good! haha I love musicals. I love musicals made into movies. For instance, "Moulin Rouge," "Across The Universe," "Oklahoma" ok I could go on and on. And, by the way, I own these all on video. ha! But, it got me to thinking.....

I think it would be so cool if our lives were like a musical. You know, a little dialogue, break out into a fabulous song, maybe dance around, then back to dialogue, repeat. I know it may seem strange, but how entertaining life would be if it was like a song and a dance.



Anyway, my friend, Christina, had her baby this morning at 6:30. Audrey Rae was 2 weeks early....she weighed an even 6 pounds and was 17 inches long. I went to visit her and she's so freakin' tiny! Her big sister Chesnee was ushering everyone in the room saying, "Come see MY baby!" It was so cute. I'm glad she was excited about her new little sister!
So, one baby down five more to go..... :)

As I celebrate....

As I celebrate the upcoming arrivals of my friend's babies and continue to hear news of yet another friend who will be welcoming a new bundle of joy, I have to take a minute to ask you all to say a prayer for my cousin and his wife who last weekend lost their baby during the almost 4 1/2 month mark of their pregnancy. His wife had a terrible first couple of months with extreme "morning sickness" (which actually turned into all day sickness!) and had become extremely ill last weekend then ended up losing the baby. It would have been their first. As they take this time to grieve, I ask that you all think of them. I know it's not easy.
So, as I attend my first baby shower in a string of baby shower invites this coming Saturday, I will celebrate the life of the one who is growing inside the belly's of my friends, and know that GOD has a plan for all of us and one day Jon and Sarah will welcome their first child into this world when HE is ready.

You had me at "You're welcome, sweetheart"

I met this boy last night at a movie premiere of his latest movie, "Brideshead Revisited." You all may know him from "Chasing Liberty" or "Matchpoint." He's even in the upcoming movie "Watchmen." His name is Matthew Goode. AND he's very British. AND he's very, very cute. I had my pic taken with him and as soon as my friend e-mails it to me I will add it to this post. He was super nice. And, did I mention he was cute? Don't worry I even told him so. AND I hadn't even been drinking.

So, here's the pic....just know there was a weird thing happening with the flash, so he's making a weird face because we weren't sure if the pic was taken or what....but it's still cute!!!



Speaking of drinking, I went out with Deidre, Tracey, Lori, Cori, and Shelly to see the Motorcars on Saturday night. It was quite entertaining. Aside from a few yelling matches and one drunkass calling Micky....Willy....it was a great show. If anyone wants to see my pics from the show you can go here.

There's some kind of light at the end of this tunnel

This weekend will end my trend of staying home and doing nothing on the weekends. Yippee!! Not that not going out is the end of the world, but man was I getting boring, eerr, bored. My one saving grace was last Thursday night when I went out with Deidre and Michelle. Although the night ended with a loser of a waiter yelling obscenities at Michelle, it was fun to see and catch up with them.

BUT, this Saturday will be fun. I'm going with Deidre, Tracey, V, and Lori to the Motorcars show at Gilleys. This will fun, fun, fun. Good friends, music, and drinking. Woo-Hoo!! I seriously can't wait! I love the new MMC song!

Congrats to Sara on her engagement to Clint! This is only an assumption that I'm invited, but I can't wait for the wedding. She's certain to be a beautiful bride! Speaking of weddings, or not, I am now up to 4 friends having babies by the end of the year. 3 girls and one Baby Boy Durbin. Yesterday I was shopping for some baby gifts and I just so happen to pick out the same outfit for 2 different people and the guy goes, "Wow is someone having twins?" I told him, "no but all my friends are pregnant this year and I'm going to go broke on baby gifts instead of wedding gifts." haha I can't help it. I LOVE babies! And I especially love baby clothes. How is something that small? So freakin' cute.
