So I drank two glasses of milk the other night while finishing off a pack of fudge strip cookies. Despite the fact that, "milk does a body good," it in that moment did not do my body good. My stomach got so upset. It probably didn't know what to do with such a large consumption..especially since it's been months since I drank milk.

Oh, and I also tried orzo. It wasn't bad and I think I'll do some experimenting w/it.

Myles and I, with some friends, went to see "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" last Friday. The high school was performing it, so I figured it might be some cheap fun. It wasn't too bad. I hadn't been to a high school play/musical since I was in high school. It wasn't exactly what I had in mind when I said see a play, but alas it was a play.

I'll just add pictures for now

Oh my goodness. I have been absolutely terrible at updating. That being said, I don't remember all the dates in which some completed tasks occurred..and I'm sure I have probably forgotten about some that I have started/completed. Oh well, I guess. And it took me forever to get logged in, because I had forgotten what email/password combo I used. Lesson learned? We'll see.

Quite a few updates

1.) I was laying in bed the other night and couldn't sleep, so I grabbed my crossword puzzle book. I would have much preferred to finish one out of a newspaper (because those are harder), but oh well.

2.) I'm almost to the goal mount of mommy/son pictures. By the time it's all said and done, I'm sure I will have surpassed the limit by quite a bit. Actually, it'll probably be a never ending project.

3.) I watched Casablanca. It wasn't bad, but I was disappointed. There has always been so much hype about it, I was just expecting more.

4.) There are some guys that have been staying at the hotel for about a month. I like'em, they're. They're nice, funny, and good looking. They stay for multiple nights, so like to have a fridge and microwave in their room. The problem is that not all of our rooms have that. So I happened to see their truck in town one day and decided to make them a reservation when I got to work..to ensure that I could assign them a room with the aforementioned amenities. I was starting to get a little worried because it had gotten lat and they hadn't arrived yet. I had other guest that wanted a room like that. I would have kinda felt like an ass if they never showed..but they did..and they were very appreciative.

Last night I watched Broken Embraces, starring Penelope Cruz. It was the second subtitled movie I watched with her in it. One of the ways I judge if I can watch a foreign film, is that if I can get so wrapped up into it, it doesn't seem like I'm reading anymore. Although I had to think about it after it was over to really decide how much I liked, it was able to keep my attention to watch it. Plus, it had good music. I can't remember whether or not I cried..I did think it was kinda sad though.

A couple of days ago I finished reading The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini. I liked it. It made me mad, it made me sad. I cried a little bit. The fact that it's fiction doesn't make me feel better because I know what happened in the book happened/happens all the time all over the world. The ending was a happy one, I guess. I think I was expecting something a little more, but how it ended suited the story. As with many other books that I read, I had heard of it before, but never grabbed it to read. Prior to checking it out, I had seen the title and heard it's name a bunch of ties over a week or two period, so..I decided that was a sign that I need to go ahead and read it. Now, I'll pobbly check out the movie.

Myles' 5th birthday = definite photo op

I can hardly believe my baby is five.

Oh, just some more pictures

These pictures are obviously not in chronological order. I also didn't feel like adding captions.

Why not add another.

Mother's day '09.

I have officially gone 2+ weeks without eating out. I'm not sure the exact date in which it was accomplished, but I do know it has occurred.

The other day, last Monday to be exact, I went over to my sister's and asked for a book to read. She recently got two new ones and had started to read both of them. She was reluctant to give me the one she was furthest along in, but I told her (jokingly), that I would give it back to her the next day. Sure enough, I had it finished the next day. What book? "The Weight of Silence" by Heather Gudenkauf. It was pretty good. I think I only got teary eyed once. At one point, I thought I had it figured out. I was pleasantly surprised that I didn't though.

I also have a new photo for my mommy/son photo book.

Before I went to bed Christmas morning, I gagged down "Santa's" chocolate milk. Sure I could have just poured it out, but I didn't want to be wasteful though.
