You're Kidding, Right?

Okay people, I understand. Michael Jackson (and all the freaky stories that were covered more than his career in the last decade or so) was big. He did a lot for music. He did a lot for dancing.

But he was a human being.

Well, some might argue that point...

It's sad that a family lost their son. But do we need headlines every five minutes concerning him? Do we really need to glorify this man THAT much? And seriously people, suicide?

Oh yes. Supposedly there are fans committing suicide over this. Which is a whole new brand of ridiculous. Come on people! Wake up! People lose their children, their parents, their spouses every day. And yet many get through it without trying to kill themselves.

Ugh, whatev. Maybe this is cleansing the gene pool a bit*.

*Okay, I realize that's harsh. But seriously. Think about it.

What a Monday

I was quite out of it today. Infection in my throat, congested, and just tired. My medicine left me wonky (likely because I didn't eat enough).

But I'm staying hydrated and I'm going to SLEEP tonight. So here's hoping I'm back to 100% tomorrow.

Happy Birthday!

okay so this isn't a birthday cake, just a gorgeous creation I found on theknot.com

Today is the bliggedy blog's first birthday! I started this thing a year ago. I'm not even sure why I decided to start it...

I was going to find some cute party pictures, but that's far too much work for this girl. So let's look back on some of my favorite posts...

I liked this one just for the title... and the fact that we learned my apartment is good for something.

I encouraged kids to stay in school.

I wrote a post that my mom still asks me to link to so that she can show her friends. Pretty sure her entire workplace has seen it now...

I had a couple interviews before I was even done with school! And yet no job now, hmm...

I made my mommy proud.

I shared with the world the fact that I married Joey Fatone. Or at least his twinner...

I became addicted to Twilight. And a fan of all things Edward.

I realized my brother has a resemblance to Brad Pitt. He's still single ladies.

All in all, I've had a decent twelve months. No job yet, but it's coming. I know it is. Along with more cupcakes. And more cuteness with Tad. And more adventures with hubby.

And more Twilight...

For Your Friday

I finally uploaded the pictures on my camera. I put it off for as long as possible because my computer is such a jerk that loading pictures becomes about as fun as going to the dentist. No joke.

I totally forgot that I had gone to mom's and taken pictures of pictures (because I was far too lazy to scan them). So I have to share this one with you because I TOLD mom I would do it. We were sitting in the sewing room one day while I sewed and mom went through some scrapbooking pages (I know, we're so thrilling). She came across a picture from... eight years ago? I think that was how long it was. This was taken at a youth conference our church used to go to and I still laugh at how she says it was mean...

Hee hee. So we were going to take a nice picture and then I got a bright idea that we should all stick our tongues out at my mom without her knowing. I remember we wanted to laugh really hard. Then as soon as the picture was taken we did. Mom still feels like a victim, just ask her. Good times... love you mom!

BTW, did you spot me? I'm not quite a brunette in the picture.

Movie Review

Hubby and I took the kid to see Transformers 2 today! Feels like we've been waiting forever. We were going to wait for my mom because she really wanted to take Tad, but our schedules are so conflicting that it wouldn't have worked this week.

Tad liked it, but I think it was a little long for him. Run time is about two hours and twenty minutes. He got a bit fidgety toward the end. But he still liked it. His favorite thing about it? Bumblebee of course!

He ended up changing his mind and not wearing the mask to the movies. But how cute is he? He's rocking some Bumblebee shoes and boxer-briefs too!

I really don't feel like getting all technical or anything here. It was pretty much what you expect a summer movie to be. I wasn't bored at any point and there were plenty of explosions and battles.

This movie had more humor than the first. Quite a bit was juvenile humor (Mojo, the dog, "establishing dominance" over the new dog). Julie White, who plays Sam's mom, had me dying. She was hilarious. Sam at a frat party was funny to me, but mainly because I know the guy who played Frat Guy #1. I was way excited to see him up there.

One thing I did think was kind of meh and almost useless was the character of Alice, played by Isabel Lucas. I can't go into detail without spoiling anything, I was just really... underwhelmed by her part and honestly forgot about her by the time we walked out of the movie.

There's plenty I could say to argue with all the reviews out there, but why bother? I'll just tell you: hubby and I enjoyed it. Don't go expecting a new world view. Don't go expecting some epic speech that will stick with you. Do go expecting something entertaining, and if you're able to do that you shouldn't be disappointed.

Coming Up

Off to be busy for the next few hours.

But I will have a Transformers blog coming later... yup. We saw it.

Blank

I'm tired. I didn't feel good last night. So I slept like crap. Hubby is sick. And the kid is SUPER energetic.

No good blogging happening, sorry.
