Caution: May be Left of Center

Last night I went to the World Premiere of Oceania, a film directed by Harpeet Dehal.  It turned out to be very good!  My many kudos out to Harry and Andrew for their hard work and dedication to this project! 

You can see an interview with Harry and some footage of me (with Zoe) at facebook.

Since we are so strict on tv time for the kids (which I think is good), we have fallen into a pattern of a once a week family movie night pattern.  Having one night were I can share a family friendly movie has turned out pretty cool in my opinion.  So far, we've enjoyed The Goonies, Night at the Museum, and now Labyrinth. 

Labyrinth

I have to say that Labyrinth must be one of the best movies made with Muppets.  Although a few songs are completely lame, I remember sitting in front of the tele with a tape recorder to get the whole film captured on tape as a 2nd grader.  I knew every word to every song (except for the lame one where the fire-looking Muppets throw their heads around).  It is kind of fun to see the kids so interested in the songs now, although I admit after hearing the kids sing "What kind of magic spells to use..." over and over has become annoying.

Overall, if you haven't tried a family movie night, I fully recommend it!

I used the Fanciful Roux Mousse and it worked great!  I chose the mousse over the shampoo, thinking it would be easier for me and it went in just fine.  Also important for a hair color -- it wipes off the skin easily.  I ended up having to get a much darker shade than I went for originally, because I wasn't brown enough with the "Medium Brown color".  It all washed out in a hurry and although my color now is a touch darker than before, I think it worked great.  Thank you Paulo at Ego Mechanix for the recommendation!!!

I've been searching and trying to find some good poses to suggest for my upcoming stock photo shoots with my pregnant belly.  So here are some pictures I like.. what do you think?  Have any other suggestions?

When was the last time you did something dangerous?

Ha!  I'd say 5 minutes ago when I put on this wig!

Golden Castle

My five year old son has done so many things lately that just make me smile.  Last week, at a playground, after 45 minutes of playing with the only other person at the playground, a girl one year younger than him, he was flaming mad!  When we got to the car and were driving away, he was finally able to put into words why he was so angry.  “Mom,” he said, “you made me leave my princess.”  My heart melted and he got over this newfound love after having a popsicle (or so I thought).  Two days later, when we went by the park, he had to stop and look around to “see if the princess” was there “waiting for [him].”  Another day on the playground, he pulled a piece of tanbark out of his pans pocket and held it up near his mouth.  I asked what he was doing and he responded “this is my breath spray” and proceeded to make a spraying sound as he once again held it up to his mouth.

Disappointment and American Idol

I must say that I am annoyed by and NOT a fan of Sanjaya.  I cannot figure out why he keeps making it week after week and still he cannot sing at all compared to the actual talent in the competition.  I know, I know, there are the haters and there are the lovers.  But I for one cannot stand to keep watching him (and that’s not going to solve my silly addiction to American Idol).  At least I’ve gotten that off of my chest.  Thanks everyone.  Go haters!  Stop voting for the suckiest suck that ever sucked!
