The randomness....
First off, I forgot to put the caffeine free diet coke in the refrigerator this morning so I have no cold pop to drink tonight. Oh, the insanity of it all!
About 2 weeks ago while doing dishes I realized I was talking to myself. I honestly have not done this before. Don't ask me what I was saying because I don't remember. But I realized that maybe it was time to get together with some girlfriends of mine so I don't need to talk to myself. I got together with some of my posse and it has helped. But I do find myself talking to David more about things I probably would be talking to peers about. It's OK. He doesn't understand. He's a baby and he gives the best advice. baba gaga dada and then he laughs.
I went to the movie Australia today while Jon took the boys Christmas shopping for me. What a guy. I just love him. I kind of felt a tad bit guilty for going to a 3 hour movie by myself. I talked myself into it though and figured I needed some relaxation time. It's a good movie. I enjoyed it.
Last night Jon went to see Transporter 3 by himself. He said it was a classic guy movie and he enjoyed it. He also tells me there are some parts in the movie for the girls to enjoy. Something to do with the main actor stripping down to only his pants. He even took his belt off. ha ha. I know Girls...it's tempting to see now. :)
While Jon went to that movie I stayed home and watched P.S. I Love You. For some reason I really love this movie. I don't cry watching it anymore. I find it funny while she's singing karaoke and falls off the stage. It's a very romantic movie. I think I like it so much because when Jerry (the main actor) looks at his wife you can just feel the intense love he has for her. I like the acting I guess. The storyline is sad but maybe because it takes place in New York I find some comfort in it. Also the shots of Ireland are incredible. Why it is that every time I see a large green pasture (like in Ireland) all I want to do is run through it as if I'm floating and singing? Weird I know. When I told this to Jon he started laughing at me and reminded me that I probably don't want to be running in whatever could be in those green pastures. He's no fun. The pictures always make it look so romantic.
I have a sewing machine that I really have never used because I don't know how to sew and when I do learn how to sew I want one that has an automatic threader. If you want a sewing machine that is pretty much new let me know. I might just sell it to you:)We have our Christmas tree up and lights up in the front yard. Tis the season. I'll have to take photos later.
We went to a couple Christmas party with some friends tonight. It was fun. There was a white elephant gag gift exchange. We walked away with the American Idol microphone shower radio toy. Jon's excited because now the whole house and neighbors will be able to hear him sing while in the shower. I can't wait for the morning concerts:) There was one moment when I had the perfect chance of using the famous quote from our dear friend Michael Scott "that's what she said." But I couldn't bring myself to say it and I turned bright red.
What else can I talk about. Let's see. I can't stop eating. I have no excuse other then mentally I don't care right now. I figure I'm weaning David in the next month and when I'm done with that I will start my training for the Year of the Races. I have some grand idea in my head that in 2009 I will devote some of my time to training for half marathons and other races for the heck of it. I need some competitiveness's in my life so I can feel good about myself. OK. I actually feel great about myself, actually probably too great about myself, which is causing me to slack off a little. You know when you get too comfortable in life and feel like all is well and then if life doesn't give you challenges then you make up challenges so you have something to do. I know you're confused by this theory of mine, but if you think about it a little then it'll make sense.
I took the boys to Disneyland this past Wednesday for playgroup. A lot of work by myself. It was fun to hang out with the other ladies. The boys loved being there with their friends. But, overall weighing the cost benefit ratio it's not really worth the work. I'm glad I did it but probably won't do it again. At least not till next spring. By then I'll forget how much work it is.
Have you ever been into the store Restoration Hardware? I know you New Yorkers and city folk probably have. They have this incredibly expensive couch that is so comfortable. A few weeks ago I made Jon go in the store with me to get a taste of what I'm talking about when I sit in this couch. I have to say that it is a great couch to snuggle in - much better experience actually if you have a person to cuddle up with then not.
The end of the randomness. Hope you enjoyed and at least got a chuckle out of some of it. Because that is my real goal in life. To make people laugh and at least feel good about who they are and where they're going.

You made me laugh but really you made me miss you and your randomness. When are we going to do a girl's trip? What sofa is it you like at RH? I LOVE that store. My dining room table is from there. Actually from the RH outlet. You should see if they have your sofa.
I am watching PS I Love You in my hotel room in Pittsburgh right now! I just turned on the TV and there it was, and I had just finished reading your post! So random :) I loved Australia--especially Hugh Jackman!
Such a great post.
Australia is on my list, and Transporter as well. Who cares about Twilight?
Oh, man I totally felt like I was back at Ricks with you, just hangin' and shootin' the breeze. I could even hear your voice sharing this post and your laugh. You're awesome! You totally made me laugh/smile...you've always been good at that. Miss you, hope all is well.
