The Simpsons Movie

I just enjoyed a laugh-filled visit to Springfield, USA courtesy of Homer, Marge and the fam.
Stretching the 30-minute comedy into 80 minutes proved a riot.
During the movie, amid the laughter, I couldn't help but notice a few Homer-like chuckles. Seriously I think there was a guy near me who was either mimicing the doughnut lover or cursed with his distinct laugh.
I'm hoping Spider-pig makes a guest appearance when the next season begins! Hahaha!

OK, so I found some photos from last year... A trip to California and Magic Mountain. So much fun!!
I so miss my St. George friends!!!

More of the random thoughts

#49 - Childhood brattiness moment: One Christmas I really, really wanted a Swatch watch! Sadly Santa wasn't able to comply. Instead I got a crappy digital watch. I pretty much pouted all day long. I was so sad. Apparently Santa sent a message to the Easter Bunny however, because that Easter I got my beloved Swatch watch! I really, really did love that watch!! I think I still have it somewhere, actually!
#48 - During the summers while we were growing up, we would all hang out at the neighbor's house and create mini-plays we would stage for our parents. I was pretty good at "dying." I remember falling out of the back of the pickup truck in one scene after being shot ... luckily it was onto a mattress. But I was quite the little wanna be actress. In fact, all us kids were pretty dramatic!
#47 - I have never had the chicken pox! Both my brother and sister had the pox, but I escaped unscared ... hopefully it stays that way!!
#46 - While at Ricks College I had a huge crush on a guy named Glen. I was so excited when I managed to hitch a ride back to college after the Christmas break! But being the shy, dorky, socially awkward girl that I was (or am), I hardly talked to him at all during the entire 3-hour drive. I pretended to be sleeping ... I was so nervous and didn't know what to say! (I think there are some people out there who now wish I would just shut up sometimes!)
#45 - I love watching Young and the Restless. I TIVO it every day.

She's a Pepper!

My family had a recent scare earlier this week. My Aunt Marge suffered a stroke and was in a coma. The entire family, all planning on a great family reunion in a few weeks, was all extremely worried for her and her immediate family.

Seems, however, that she is starting to improve (no actual medical updates at post-time) and actually woke up yesterday ... Opening her eyes she said, "I think I'd like a Dr. Pepper."

As my mother so plainly stated, this family needs to invest in Dr. Pepper stock! A few years ago Aunt Marge and Uncle Lyle were in a serious car accident where the car rolled. As rescuers tried to free them from the car, they became alarmed at fluid that was leaking from the vehicle, worried it might be gasoline. Nope, no need to worry ... it was just a case of Dr. Pepper that had be punctured during the accident!

So Aunt Marge, I hope you get your Dr. Pepper real soon! I join the rest of the family, I'm sure, in my prayers for your speedy recovery!

Lucky 7s

I'm heading off to St. George this weekend!! Ah, sweet Southern Utah, my old friend!!
Anyway, I'm heading that way for a friend's wedding!
Now I don't know if she chose this date intentionally, but she's getting married on 07.07.07 ... an apparently VERY LUCKY DAY!
Since the wedding is rumored to be outside and they've been seeing some record high temps, I'm hoping for a bit of my own luck ... A LUCKY CLOUD COVER!
