We'll Always have Paris

The last time I went to the show I saw Hannah Montana in 3D and the time before that I can't remember what I went to see but I think it was the Beatles tribute Across the Universe. Yeha I go to the movies once a year. I am sure blockbuster is chalked full of movies I haven't seen. Now that I have responsibility of raising an infant child on my own I just can't go to the movies after work for a matinee like I used to. Now that I don't do it very much I should have appreciated more. Going places involves planning and timing who knew getting 2 hours of "me" time would take so much work, only to get where you planned to go and be thoroughly exhausted that all you long for is to go home and sleep!!

Well tonight I am going to the movies with my sister and new friend Sandra to see the much anticipated movie of my year!!!.................Sex and the City! I didn't realize until last night when I was in line getting tickets how excited I am to see this movie. Oh what you don't purchase your movie tickets 28 hours in advance COME ON it is 2008!If you are going to get into a show on Friday night you better plan ahead and get there early to find a good seat. While your at it get a second job. How do teenagers go out anymore, or afford to take friends out on dates?? Since when is the price of a movie ticket $9? No wonder movies are breaking box offices records in the millions. Next year I might have to plan a longer "me" time so I can slip into another movie just to get my money's worth.

I don't want to read any reviews about the movie. I want to be totally surprised and form my own opinion. Considering there wasn't much hype around the movie I don't want to get my hopes up or be spoiled by an over boisterous critic.

That was close

My daily commute is long and tiresome and has been for at least 10 years. I have drove many miles at all kinds of speeds, under and over bridges, taking short cuts to avoid back-ups, and have taken scenic routes to break up the mundane. I drive 35 miles one way to work, that is 70 miles.in.one.day! Some of you can relate while others are lucky to be able to drive a shorter distance or be it ever so blessed to walk! I consider myself a well seasoned driver but nothing prepared me for what happened last night.
As I drove home with my precious cargo in the back rockn' out to Laurie Berkner, it happened. With the warmer weather upon us road construction is in full swing, orange barrels line my commute here there and everywhere. It is no surprise to me that on the two lane freeway for the ride home turns to one lane just before my exit. Now that I drive the speed limit most days I have also become courteous and let semi-trucks merge into my lane but not on an all the time basis. So the truck driver pulls in front of me and flashes his lights as a thank you, but moments later one of his 18 tires BLOWS UP! BAM! It was loud and the truck began to swerve, I brace for the impacted of a tire the size of my SUV to bust through my windshield, I had no where to go, there was NO shoulder on the left and orange barrels surrounding a hole to the right where the road once was. So I turned on the hazard lights and began to break and prayed that the guy behind me wasn't going to rear end me in the process. I was pelted with hot rubber and rock from the gravel hauler I be-friended in front of me and hoped that he would noticed and get over ASAP! I was in panic mode and throwing out words and trying to think of what to do next. All was well the truck got over and I took the blunt of the debris (the tire that shred without falling off the truck)while drivers behind me slowed down and wondered what the heck was happening.
I believe the words that left my mouth when this all happened was "SHIT!" what the heck"! "oh-no" "oh-no""oh-NO"! it all happened so fast but when we slowed down my sweet baby in the back who was singing about monkeys and elephants soon repeated "shit,oh-no,SHIT Momma"! so goes her first swear word.
