Sadie stands. She started doing this the day after Rory left. I think she'll be walking by the time he gets home Saturday, haha. Just kidding. I hope she doesn't, or we'd (I'D) never hear the end of it! We went over to my parents house for dinner again tonight, third time this week. (They're saying"grumble grumble free loading daughter grumble … [Read more...]

Go. see. this. movie. Rory and I enjoyed a trip to the cheap night at the movies ($5!), for his birthday, thanks to Joanna for babysitting! I laughed, I was startled, I cried. It was such a sweet movie and the old guy is such the unlikely hero. I loved the little Wilderness boy Russell too. Loved the friendship between the two and the funny … [Read more...]

Sad day...last night while I was trying to finish up a cute men's shirt into dress transformation, my sewing machine died. I was distraught, and tried all the tricks to fix it. Alas, it needs a tune up. (so, a temporary death) And a trip to San Jose...since there are no sewing machine repair shops down here in Gilroy. Are you kidding me? Does no … [Read more...]

It's happened.I've let it into my house. Why, oh why?Because it's entertaining and addicting. Gorsh!After years of swearing I hated American Idol(too mainstream, annoying singers, blah blah), I've kind of...gotten into it this season. I like the new judge too. Janae and I were critiquing the singers. It was fun! I belted out what would be MY … [Read more...]
Pushing Daisies and other great time-wasters…I mean TV shows!
October 7, 2008 By 2 Comments
I just love my TV shows. Maybe it's compensating for the TV ban my parents had for most of my growing up years (except for PBS), but I love having shows to follow and watch, it's especially fun now that DVR and TiVo have been invented. No more pesky commercials! I have discovered this show called Pushing Daisies, it's about a guy (Ned), who can … [Read more...]

WALL*E

So tonight we took a break after working on the house a bit and went to see WALL*E with Joanna. We loved it! The little robot was adorable! I fell in love with him instantly. The effects were amazing! Very spectacular. The story was very moving and human, considering it's a movie mostly about robots. I don't want to ruin it for anyone so I will … [Read more...]
