Movies I've Watched on Maternity Leave!

When you are up during the night like I am, you get to watch movies. I've been recording on DVR movies that I have never seen before. Here is what I've watched the last month.

1. Made of Honor
2. Georgia Rules (Lindsey Lohan, Jane Fonda, Dermot Mulroney, Felicity Huffman,)
3. Lucky You (Drew Barrymore, Eric Bana)
4. The other Boleyn Girl (Natalie Portman, Scarlett Johansson, Eric Bana) I now think Eric Bana is pretty hot!
5. 27 dresses
6. Fool's Gold (Matthew McConaughey, Kate Hudson)
7. The Waitress (Kerri Russell--dumb!)
8. State and Main (dumb!)
9. Over her dead body
10. Many parts of Knocked Up--It's on all the time (don't ask why I'm watching it!!)
11. Ellen Degeneres stand up (Very funny--I love her!)
12. All the Pretty Horses (Matt Damon, Penelope Cruz)
13. Dan in Rule Life (Cute!)
14. What happens in Vegas (Cameron Diaz, Ashton Kutcher--Cute!)
15. We are Marshall
16. More American Graffiti (Don't ask! American Graffiti is a classic and good)
17. To Gillian on Her 37th Birthday
18. Definitley, Maybe (Another I watch parts of frequently)
19. August Rush (Kerri Russell)
20. Backdraft--(Always like this one too, watch many parts of this.)
21. Vantage Point
22.Proof of Life (Meg Ryan, Russell Crow)
23. P.S. I love you (over and over--parts of it again)

I'm enjoying catching up on movies--I'll keep you posted on any new ones I watch.

New haircut!

Ella and I both got new haircuts. I didn't take a picture of mine--no need to. I cut off my hair and made it short again, much easier. However I know I'm letting it grow some. Ella got her hair layered, because we never get to do anything with it. Now she can't chew on it either. She did manage to have Kathy put ponies in it still. And I added pictures of the baby who may need a haircut soon.

Not enough points!

I started counting my points on Weight Watchers. I did this over a year ago when I was running and lost about 8 pounds. Now I need to lose 20 pounds. I even have more points to start with this time, but would like more for chocolate.My body is still craving rocky road ice cream, peanut butter cups, and all food in general. I can't start running yet because I haven't had "that" appointment yet to get the approval from the doctor. If I could run, I would have started about 2 weeks ago. When I work and have to plan my food for the day, it's much easier to count your points. I don't like eating frozen meals at home right now, knowing I will eat them when I get back to school. So any good ideas on zero pt. food or how to make this easier--I need your help! My husband went to Culvers for ice cream the other night and I turned it down. (That was really hard!) I will have to just live with Skinny Cows instead! :(

I did it!

Ok--I did it--I joined Facebook. I don't really know what I'm doing, but I'm sure I will learn.

To Facebook or not to Facebook, that is the quetion!

So I don't have a Facebook account and don't know if I should get one. When I first heard about it, I thought it was for teenagers or college students. Then I started to hear about friends of mine who have them, or family members that do. I still thought they were silly to have them. Now I'm learning more and more about it. I can't open my sister's pictures she sends because they are on Facebook. Facebook has been in the news lately and on all the talk shows (then I don't normally watch but I am thanks to maternity leave). All these new regulations Facebook has on your account but I'm told by people it's not a big deal. On Tuesday night, both Fox 9 news and channel 4, had specials about Facebook. They were looking at what is all the hype about, is it addicting, how many friends are too many? I get the "friend" thing. Some people had anywhere from 200-800 friends. Both channels commented that it's like "spying" on other people. Is it? Here is my mom's comment about Facebook: "I hate Facebook." I think she hates that she needs the account to look at pictures and then has no ideas what to do with her account. My sister says, "just get one." My friend from high school says, "get an account so we can e-mail." Why can't she e-mail me on my school account, the only e-mail I have?
Here's my issues with getting an account:
1. Will I become addicted to looking at it? ( I don't have time for this)
2. Do I really want all those "friends"?
3. Will I become curious about people from my past and want to add them as friends just to "spy" on them?
4. I will have to say "no" to some people as friends. ( I only think I want to be friends with people I know and want to know about them.) Meaning: I don't want to add friends to my account who are friends of friends of friends.

The one thing that I would like about Facebook is getting in touch with friends from high school and keeping up with my cousins. So what do you think I should do? To be honest, I know I'm just putting off curiosity and will get the account eventually.

A Good Week~

It was a busy week at our house. Ben has still not figured out his sleep pattern at night. He likes to get up every 2 hours for sure and eat. I'm catching up on some movies I've always wanted to see that I record on DVR and watch during the night. Last Saturday my grandma and three of my aunts came to visit. My Grandma's dad was Ben, and her mom was Ella, so it is really special to me that my children are named after them. Ella got a new dress and some bunny ears at Target. She also got 2 more dresses today at the mall. We went on our first real big outing to the mall. Ben had only been to the doctor's office. He slept the whole time--my kind of shopper. Ben was switched to Soy formula and put on Zantac for his acid reflux. Ella had all the same issues. I had my follow up with Dr. Bakker, and he got to hold Ben. Only 4 more weeks until I can....ah ah.... Run! (I can't wait--I miss my IPOD so bad--I have all kinds of new music to put on it from bed rest and downloading.) Ella continues to love up her brother with kisses and wants to hold him all the time. She has been a good helper and big sister.
