Sometimes movies are just better the second time around, and sometimes movies are better because of who you watch them with.

Drafts

I know there's been a drastic reduction in the number of posts to my blog as of late. But then, how often does it happen that a girl's inspired in her life to write more often in a single month than she has in nearly an entire year? In my defence, I just want you to know that it's not for a lack of trying. I've had all these thoughts that I've wanted to get around to expanding and then sharing, but lately, work's been so crazy that by the time Jenny and I get some alone time, I have nothing left.

However, taking a moment for inventory and to gather my thoughts, I realize that I have more than a few of those inspired moments jotted down here and there as reminders for when it's not so hectic; saved in my drafts, in my email, on the backs of receipts. Regardless of whether I actually get around to completing these thoughts, I'm sharing. Each break is another found-thought in no particular order.

i've fallen into every cliche there ever was about love

Sausages with balls. Ick.

You don't want to know

Relationship rant--don't do it. You can't choose your family, but you can choose who you spend your life with.

I am of the belief that I am in the middle of co-authoring one of the greatest love stories ever known to man.

we held on tight like hungry lovers.

In the Car

Avril: So are we good for movie night this Sunday?
Me: I don't know yet...
Dimps: Why? Is it because you have a DATE?!
M: well...
D: I can't believe we're getting ditched...
A: *whispers* It's okay!
D: ...for a GUY?!?
A: *still whispering so Dimps can't hear* It's totally okay!
D: AVRIL!!!
A: What? hahahahahah

Quote of the Moment:

"If you kids don't behave, I'm sending you to Auntie Dimps's!!!"
    --Avril, sharing her ultimate threat to her future children

I'm alive, and surprisingly well. I've just not had the time to blog. I miss it. Perhaps I shall have to make some in between my slave-labour hours, volleyball, and trying to get myself in order for the next week and a half. I can't wait for vacation.

Quote of the Moment:

"It's like finding out my favourite love song was written about a sandwich."

"Choice"

I spent the day working hard, but also carrying on an email conversation with my mother today. I was going to cut and paste excerpts from it--who knew my mother and I could such amusing exchanges--but then I realized that the ones I wanted to use were too incriminating and even fake-names wouldn't be enough to hide that fact. :D

Basically, what started off as a forwarded "Car for sale" message quickly turned into the latest family gossip and rants and raves which included a few choice phrases from mom:

    "... see if he'll toss in a few Gs!"
    "I don't have to tell him that you said that - I just have to forward this to him."
    "...what kind of bullshit is that?"
    "..can't wait! NOT! How stupid is that?
    "When you did the *roll eyes* thing - did they roll all the way to the back? Did it hurt much?"

I'd post my choice phrases, but really, after reading mom's, mine kind of pale in comparison. The summary of our conversation: we're thinking about the car, but barely living with the fact that you can't choose your family. :)

Song of the Moment: "I Belong to You" - Lenny Kravitz

You are the flame in my heart
You light my way in the dark
You are the ultimate star

You pick me up from above
Your unconditional love
Takes me to paradise

I belong to you
And you
You belong to me too

You make my life complete
You make me feel so sweet

You make me feel so divine
Your soul and mine are entwined
Before you I was blind

But since I've opened my eyes
And with you there's no disguise
So I could open up my mind

I always loved you from the start
But I could not figure out
That I had to do it everyday

So I put away the fight
Now I'm gonna live my life
Giving you the most in every way

I belong to you
And you
You belong to me too

You make my life complete
You make me feel so sweet
