What's It Gonna Be?

Happy Birthday Weekend to me (and Erica)! I have to work tomorrow, but am going out dancing tomorrow night downtown. I'm not a huge fan of downtown Orlando (kinda skeevy), but we are meeting a few friends that are downtown regulars, so I'm sure we'll have fun. Not sure what I'm doing on my birthday proper, but probably going to Epcot in the afternoon and having dinner somewhere in the vicinity, then watching fireworks. It's pretty fun to pretend to have a fireworks display put on just for your birthday celebration.

I don't have any videos of kids doing cute things, so I will share one of my favorite videos that I found on funnyordie.com, a fabulous site. This song is not safe for work or young ears! But it's f'ing awesome. Enjoy!

Dads Rule!

Happy Father's Day to all you dads. Hopefully your kids are giving you 'props' today for being 'off the chain'. You deserve numerous props.
Here's a few reasons that my Dad deserves props:
1. He knows how to fix a lot of things, like various household items and my car.
2. He helped put a down payment on Stella, my current car.
3. He always knows the answers.
4. He puts up with my sometimes insane mom.
5. He helped support me through college, always sneaking me gas money on my trips home.
6. When I would call home crying about something, he could always calm me down, using his phrase "take it slow and easy."
7. He taught me how to appreciate and shoot a gun!
8. He sacrifices his time to help run his late father's business.
9. He uses his handy-man skills to help out his mother and other family members when they need it.
10. He helped raise me, and look how great I turned out!!!
Side note: I was SO mad when my dad shaved off his moustache. I didn't talk to him for a few days. I guess I couldn't handle the change, but now I am very glad he made it!

So Happy Father's Day everyone! And congrats to Nikki and Jason for their new addition. Elena is beautiful, and I love all the pics from the hospital (good job Erica!). Halle will be a wonderful big sister!

Nephew #2!

I have a brand new nephew!
Colby Patrick Fuchs was born on Wednesday, June 4th at 9:06am. He was 8 pounds, 2 ounces and 21 inches long. Both he and his mommy are doing great. Colby looks so much like his big brother Blake did when he was born. I took a few pics of him on my phone, but am not smart enough to figure out how to get them onto my computer, so all I have so far is this family photo right after Colby was born, but will have more pics soon!

On an unrelated note, did anyone see Keith Murray on Best Week Ever??!? We Are Scientists did a great little bit during the 'Sizzler' portion of the show, got a quick shot of their album, and they even delivered a few lines. They came on and I yelled "I know him!!!" at the TV and then recalled how I thought Keith was super hot in high school. He has a wacky hair cut now, but I would still allow him to be my boyfriend. : )

Sex And Th........

So I'd been looking forward to the Sex And The City Movie ever since the idea of it was even mentioned. I loved the show so much and still watch repeats on TV even though I have all the seasons on DVD. We planned to go see the movie on Friday, opening night. We lined up outside our theater 45 minutes before the movie so we'd get good seats. The movie started, the theater cheered, and I was so happy. And then...disaster. About 40 minutes in, the film broke. The lights came up, and the women got angry. The poor theater manager came in and said it would be 10-15 minutes to fix it. 30 minutes later, the movie started again, but a little farther than where we'd left off. Again, the women were beside themselves, yelling "Rewind! Rewind!" About ten minutes go by, and the movie goes out again. Repeat crazed women. Finally, after the third time the movie went out, the manager told the theater that was it, they weren't going to be able to fix it. As we exited, we heard various women yelling at the manager... "We had to get a babysitter! How will you compensate us for that?" The lines at Guest Services were very long and full of emotional, aggravated, and dejected SATC lovers. We were pretty disappointed, but figured being nice to the man at Guest Services would increase our chances of getting more compensation. We ended up getting a refund plus two free movie tickets each, so it worked out.

I went Saturday night to try again, and was able to see the movie all the way through. (Plus I went to pee in the middle and didn't miss anything since I'd already seen that part! Bonus!) Of course I loved it. I had to hold back a few sobs because I'm a sucker for a good love story. It was a very well made movie and had great funny moments (involving poop, which always gets a thumbs up from me) and plenty of drama. Plenty of crazy outfits, and a stunning, flowing wedding gown I would love to have. This pic doesn't do it justice, but it was so pretty and probably only works on someone built like SJP, but I still love it! So, I give the movie two thumbs up and highly recommend it to all ladies and gay men, plus any boyfriend/husband that gets dragged along.

I'm watching the MTV Awards right now and Johnny Depp just won his second award. He is so dreamy! I can't help but think that I could be there with him right now, cheering him on. If I hadn't moved in 5th grade, I would have gone to high school with him, and we would have dated, fell in love, and lived happily ever after. His life without me must feel so empty!
Final note: I love Rainn Wilson.
