delirious

On Saturday my mom, sister, and I decided to go to a movie matinee. We were in a giggly mood already, even slipping and sliding on the road with our car on the way to the theatre was making us laugh. But this story REALLY got us laughing...

When we get to the movie theatre my mom goes up and gets our movie tickets. We wanted to go see Defiance, the movie with hot Daniel Craig who starts a village in the woods for Jews to hide from the Nazis. They give us our tickets and the ticket collector tells us to go to theatre 17. Amber and I sit down while mom is in the restroom. Amber and I looked at eachother because we noticed the entire theatre was packed of either African Americans or college kids. hmm... this is a WWII Jewish movie, right?

Mom comes in right when the feature presentation starts. A concert comes on the big screen, a rap concert. Amber and I looked at mom and said, "We're definitely in the wrong theatre."

We looked at the door, which told us we were watching Notorious. Mom said, "Well I asked for tickets for Delirious!"

We went and exchanged the tickets and sat in the right theatre just in time to see the right movie, Defiant.

So we asked for "Delirious", We wen to "Notorious". And we wanted "Defiant."

The movie sobered our laughs up right when it started, but boy did we laugh all of the way home while our car was slipping and sliding on the snow and talking about our delirious, notorious, defiant mixup.

seagulls

There is a reason to visit me in Peoria. We have seagulls in parking lots everywhere. You would feel like you were at the beach. When you are at the mall, movie theatre, Walmart, or Target there will be seagulls above you making you feel beachy.

I'm not sure why they are here, but today they probably will not be because it snowed 5 inches. If they are smart they will actually head to a beach not stay around parking lots.

vera wang and free espresso and dog

I heard a quote the other day. And I saw a quote this morning, both pretty funny.

Kate Hudson (in her movie) was being sabatoged by her bestfriend to gain weight before her wedding. She goes in to try on her dress and she can't fit into it. Her fiance tells her, "Just get it altered!" Kate replies, "You don't alter Vera Wang, you alter yourself to fit Vera!" I definitely had to pause and have some lol time for me when I heard that.

Then this morning I was at Starbucks getting my Grande Chai Tea Soy Milk Latte. As I waited for it (which they were actually surprisingly fast!) I read the sign in front of me: "Unnaccompanied Children will get free espresso and a free dog." How nice of them! Free espresso for their children haha.

My nephew Caleb is a 1 year old now and he is a stud!

my excuse is a ... sebadicle?

On January 7th, today, at 7:30 pm, tonight, I checked my voicemail and Jessica leaves me this desperately concerned voicemail on behalf of her and others that wanted me to start blogging again. I haven't been forgetting about y'all in the past month. I have actually had a little blog list going that I would randomly write down things that I thought were parculiar that would be writing about. I'm going to call my month blog break a sebadicle. And actually I just went to dictionary.com to see if that word was really spelled that way, and no it said it wasn't. But I saw the word sabatical as a "try this." No there was no definition for that word either. Then finally dictionary.com led me to the word sabbatical, which means..."any extended period of leave from one's customary work, esp. for rest, to acquire new skills or training, etc." What a great word. Don't we all wish we could go on a sabbatical? My sabbatical consisted of the normal, December holiday season. gift shopping, gift wrapping, getting my scrapbook pictures printed, went to the library, read several books, spent time at a lodge with the family and 25 other people, fun in Nashvegas, starting school again.... now that brings me here back to my blog. back from the sebadicle, sabatical, or sabatical.

I have 10 things on my blog list at the moment. If they all end up to be actually good things to write about, you'll be getting 10 blog entries very soon.
