Eat Pray Love

I enjoyed a little movie night at the Picture Show (discount theater in Marietta) w/DH tonight - Eat Pray Love. It was better than I expected, and I had to laugh when the following line was presented - how timely! Too late to back out now...

"Having a baby is like getting a tattoo on your face. You really need to be certain it's what you want before you commit."
— Elizabeth Gilbert (Eat, Pray, Love)

I think I might have to read the book now. Add it to my long reading list, after all the ones on pregnancy, newborns, and toddlers...

Birthday fun

David's birthday "burgers"

Blowing out the candles
Big bite!

We had a nice, small gathering to celebrate DH's birthday last night. We met up for dinner at FIGO Pasta in Virginia-Highland, then headed over to GT for Flicks on 5th, a series of movies being shown outside on 5th Street at Technology Square over the summer. Last night featured Slumdog Millionaire, which some of us had already seen. There were a couple of skips in the viewing, so those who saw it for the first time should definitely rent it and watch it again sometime. It was a little on the warm side, but not too bad. My birthday "burgers" turned out really cute, but really too much sweetness. Next time, I'll try making them with the mini muffin pan and smaller rounds of brownies so that they are more bite-sized and less sugar! Looking forward to spending some time this evening with our new TV and getting the DVD player hooked up so we can check out how a movie looks on it!

Black is Back

After worrying 4 days about my cat's digestive system (you can read a little more about it here, but we'll spare you the details), I think kitty buddy's GI is back in working order. I never thought I'd be happy to see normal kitty poo in the litterbox! LOL

Sidebar - my friend John sent me a fun little animated clip today. Take a peek if you've got 10 minutes and decent bandwidth to watch this cute short: http://www.vimeo.com/1084537.

Back to the books and sort of half paying attention to the VP debate...

Two-movie Weekend

I had a rare two-movie weekend this weekend! Friday night, I went to see Sex in the City with some TBS alums. Although I was never an outright fan (being that we still do not have cable) but have seen a few of the re-runs on TBS (enough to know the main characters and their personalities), I really enjoyed the movie! I didn't go into it with any expectations, but I have to say that it had me teared up starting in the middle and on and off until the end! It just felt like I was watching a long episode. Anyway, I reco seeing it, and it is a great group chick flick! On Saturday, after spending the (HOT) morning outside at the Va-Hi Summerfest, we ducked into Tara to escape the afternoon heat with friends Val, Tim and Jimmy and saw Young @ Heart. It was a great documentary about a fun senior chorus group that sang rock and roll songs. It made me laugh and cry as well. Probably between the two, it was the most that I've laughed and cried in a single weekend ever. Also reco seeing that one, if you have a theatre around that's showing it.

On a side note, I STILL have not gotten back my test results from my 4/26 ARE - they say the conversions should be done by June 11, so I hope to hear sometime this week. I don't think I can schedule another one until I find out which test version track I am to take. Keep your fingers crossed!
