Sex And The City.

I finally saw Sex and the City today! No surprise here, but I absolutely loved it. I was reading some reviews where people said it had no story line. Blah, blah, blah. Not sure what movie they were watching but it totally had a story line. And, it lived true to the series. Needless to say I was not disappointed.
*Big wanting to take 2 days a week apart to do his thing and Carrie do her thing - I actually like the idea and the meaning behind it. But, 2 days a week is too much. Maybe 2 days a month or maybe even 2 days every other week. Not that I want to be away from my husband, but I see where this can be a good thing. It can help from things getting monotonous. And, I'm big on each person having their own freedom and not so dependent on the other. As I write this I am in the bedroom watching The Bachelorette while Alberto is playing Xbox in the living room. Same difference.
*Charlotte having a hard time admitting she is stressed from her kids - Another reason I love Miranda so much. She got Charlotte to open up, even if it took her getting a little tipsy. It's okay to want to lock yourself in a room and let your kid cry. It's okay to feel like you are going crazy sometimes. Us moms wouldn't be human if we didn't want to pull our hair out, scream, cry, or just need to get away. Poor Charlotte just tries too hard to be perfect.
*Samantha getting arrested for being too risque in Abu Dhabi - PRICELESS! Typical Samantha. I love how she stands true to who she is no matter what.
*The women of Abu Dhabi with the trendy clothes under their Abayas - I wonder what the percentage of women there actually do that? I definitely would.
*Big forgiving Carrie for kissing Aidan and taking the high road - After all, Carrie did let him know immediately and felt genuinely bad for doing it. She did make the mistake by "playing with fire" but she learned her lesson and did the right thing.
*Miranda - Loved seeing Miranda quit her job, see her son win the Science Fair, loosen up in Abu Dhabi, and then find an even better job where she is more appreciated. I am most like her character :)
*Favorite part of movie - Seeing Charlotte in Carrie's old apartment taking time for herself. Ironic how she thought Carrie was crazy for mentioning the 2 day thing, but she ended up doing it herself. Good for her!!
These were just highlights I wanted to remember. I love how I can and I'm sure lots of other women can relate to these characters. Big applause to the writers and actors!

Scarborough Faire.

Every year we go to Scarborough Faire in Waxahachie. This year added a new element of fun to our yearly excursion because we had Ken, Joellen, Celeste, Brianna, and Cole join us. You can't go wrong with great entertainment, great food, and great company. We've been taking Gabriel since he was just about 5 years old. Its become a family tradition of sorts. As a kid there wasn't anything I did like this, so hopefully it's something that will continue and he can enjoy with his children one day. We take a picture every year of him in front of this one sign. Instead of marking a line on a wall in the house, we use this sign to gage how much he has grown each year. We are missing 2007. Not sure if maybe we didn't go that year. And 2008 is missing because we lost the camera that year :(

In A Funk.

Don't know what it is, but I'm in a funk. I hate when I get like this. I have this overwhelming need for something new to happen. It seems the older I get the more I get in these moods. It's not that I'm unsatisfied with anything, it's just I need something to constantly challenge me or something to put all my attention on. For 9 months all my thoughts were focused on the wedding. That was fun because it entailed all sorts of things. I have a tendency to get bored with repetitiveness. Hobbies are good, but they all get old at some point. Guess I need to do a little here and a little there to keep it interesting. I definitely need to find a way to get over these humps. Today I wanted a new puppy then I wanted an Iphone. It went back and forth between those things all day. Alberto has to think I'm nuts. I sometimes have all these ideas in my head that I overwhelm myself and literally feel worn out. Then I get upset at myself for trying to take on too much. It's like a constant struggle. I need to find that right amount of balance. Hopefully I'll find it before I drive myself insane.

Update.

Alberto bought me my "Gotta Have It" watch in my post below. I am SUPER excited! I have the sweetest hubby. Here's to my new watch addiction. Coming soon will be one with the pink band. There are so many cute ones it is so hard not to want them all.

Gotta Have It.

Daydreaming.

Today I had to make a long drive to Ardmore and back to pick up some product for work today. Here are just a few things that crossed my mind.

Trip to Las Vegas. Alberto had a grand idea for us book a Vegas vacation for my belated birthday present. I have always wanted to go and what better occasion to book it? In a weird way I was looking forward to turning 30 and was hoping to have a pretty cool celebration. Unfortunately Alberto's surgery came to be and instead of partying it up we were setting in the doctor's office for my birthday. Big sigh. So, all these thoughts about where to stay, what to do, what shows to see, do it over a long weekend or during the week, how much time do we have to take off work, and on and on and on.

Rihanna. I was totally jamming out to my Rihanna CD. Totally fabulous CD by the way. I was singing along picturing myself on stage entertaining the crowd and how I could absolutely do that for a living... if only I could sing. Just missing one crucial piece of the puzzle. Big sigh #2.

Little bug on my windshield. Why do the smallest creatures decide to land on your windshield when you are going 80mph? Poor little thing was holding on for dear life. They must have suction cups for feet or something. I was trying hard not to look at it because it breaks my heart when they get blown away. One of two things happen at that point. Either they die or they attach themselves to another window and continue to be completely freaked out all their life. I am so glad I'm not a bug.

Summer. School is out Tuesday. My baby is officially going to be a 5th grader. 5th grade was my favorite year of school. That is counting elementary, middle, and high school. I had great teachers, great friends, and my first real boyfriend. I think I remember more from 5th grade than any other year. I just hope Gabriel's is just as fun.

Alberto finally being all healed up.
Moving back to TX.
Getting my butt back in the gym.
Visiting Yancy in Colorado.
Visiting Charlotte and Jay in North Carolina.

Sounds like I may have a new bucket list in the making...

Oh Oklahoma.

Oh Oklahoma how I loathe thee. This tornado season thing is really stressing me out. I had no idea you had this sort of craziness when I decided to move here. Yes, my job is great and I really enjoy what I do (not mention I'm fantastic at it), but come on with this weather. Worrying all day about something out of my control really puts a toll on my whole being. I hurried to pick Gabriel up from school, practically ran through Wal Mart to get batteries, more flashlights, bottled water, and snacks to stock up the safe room "closet". I sat on the couch for 5 hours watching the news only to see the tornadoes pass right by us. Poor Gabriel sat with his helmet and shoes on the whole time. All the while saying how he kept hearing you need to have on a helmet and shoes. He even went as far as to cover his body in pillows. I should have gotten a picture. My boy sure is a rule follower. Not that I am complaining a tornado didn't hit my area. My mind is just so tired. And they say it will be like this the next two days. I just know the minute I relax and underestimate the storm is when it will hit. Insert big sigh. Guess I will just continue on with my overprotective, overreacting self until the season is over. I can hear Texas calling my name right now.
