Cute Baby!

Kung Fu Fighting

I have been singing Kung Fu Fighting song to our son.

I don't know why, it just feels like it fits his personality...

Anyways, it is a fun game we play, I sing and at every ha or hough I kick out a leg or an arm. He really likes this. So today while I was on the internet I decided to find the real song and play it for him. It was funny to see his face light up as he recognized the song.

(which surprised me because I have a hard time singing in key without music) And then we played to the music.

Man I love that kid.

TRON

So I watched TRON finally this weekend. We could not find it to rent, so I bought it.

I know some of you will be thinking Wow what a waste of money. It is a cult classic and one my kids will probably watch and think is silly. And think I am silly for liking it.

I think what I liked the most about the movie when I was young were the visuals.

Visually just a fun movie. You can not watch it for the plot, it is lacking in character development.

Also, how on earth did I think Steve Gutenberg was in this movie. I would have sworn on my mothers life that he was. (I guess it is because he is in almost every 80's B movie)

But I see now that the guy I thought was Steve Gutenberg and is not is in the new movie! So props to him for doing the second one!

I have no idea how the 2 movies will fit together. I am interested to see how that all works.

I really hope the second one is better, at least story wise.

Dinosaurs!!!!!!

We visited the Paleontology Museum at BYU. It had been at least 15 years since I had been. I was surprised at how much there was there. It is the perfect size for little kids. Enough to be super excited and be entertained but not to much so they get board. It is free and a great way to spend a hour. The Museum is located across the street from the stadium.

Uggs, one more reason not to wear them

Nasty Shoes. I don't like them and think that they deserve their name.

Anyways, I found this post to be very interesting about knock off Uggs.

Manolo's Shoe Blog

Don't wear them ladies they will ruin you feet!!!!

This blog also has a lot of fun shoe information and other stuff. I really like it and have found it to be quite entertaining.

Random Science holidays

Yesterday was Pie day. MMM best science holiday ever...

Anyways after making and eating a pie yesterday Justin and I have decided to try and celebrate all the random Science holidays. I can wait for mole day in September!

Amazing cakes

Check out Cake Wrecks. Every weekend they post some beautiful cakes. The rest of the week is just super funny. Pretty bad cakes...

Happy Thoughts

I love my brain. When it is in cruse control happy things just pop into my brain.

For instance; on my way to work today my first recollection of relish popped into my head.

I was at Kindergarten Graduation and he had a Hod Dog Bar with all the fixin's. My teacher put this green stuff on her hot dog. I asked what it was, she said it was Relish. I asked what that was and she told me it was cut up pickles. ( I loved pickles) It was such a happy moment, one more way that I could eat pickles!!!

Brain keep up the good work.

baby pictures.

We did it! I got a picture of him smiling! I just love how happy he is!

Felix and Maggie. Both look really comfortable don't they :)
I can not believe that he is 3 months old. Time really has flown by.

TRON

I am really looking forward to the new TRON. I really enjoyed the original as a child. I told my mom that, and she said really? I thought it was boring. Anyways. I am sad that there is no Steve Gutenberg in it. That would have made me ultra want to see the movie. Watching the trailer made me really want to watch it again. Man, also I don't know if anybody else remembers this but on the People Mover at Disneyland they had a section of the ride that was TRON. It looked and felt like you were on one of the bikes. It was super cool! That was the only reason I loved the People Mover. I wish they would bring that back. Especially for the opening of the new movie...

Lost my Temper

I lost my temper.

A student answered her phone while she was testing. There is a ZERO tolerance policy when it comes to cell phones. She just picked it up and said I will call you back. So, I know she was not cheating or anything like that. Obviously a good student. But, we have a rule. So I made he come and get her stuff and told her she was done testing for the day. We argued. She wanted me to make an exception because of a family situation. (totally reasonable) but again the rule. So, after telling her our policy again, and being rather forceful, to leave the testing center and talk to the administrator (I was almost yelling). I felt like a mean and bad person. I knew I was justified in being the way I was, but man, I totally made her and her mom's day crappier. I am not happy that I did not handle that better. I handled it badly. I need to go home and eat some ice cream and get a big hug.

If I see that student again I need to apologize for how that situation was handled.

Man I sucked it up tonight...

Oscars

I totally missed that those were on. I was actually looking forward to the hosts this year.

Justin and I were doing a 3d puzzle! Which has been a lot of fun to do. The puzzle is the Millenium Falcon, and it is labeled extremely challenging. We started it Friday night and are still working on it. We are both worried it is missing some pieces. My parents have had the puzzle for about 15 years and no one has put it together. I am really looking forward to seeing it completed.

Anyways back to the Oscars...

What kind of world do I live in where Sandra Bullock and Mo'Nique win Oscars?

Were there really no good actress this year?

I am curious to see all the performances from the best actress and best supporting actress's. I just can not believe that Sandra Bullock was better than Helen Mirren or Meryl Streep.

And I am soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo happy that Avatar did not win best picture or best director!!!

I would have puked if it had. Seriously, PUKED.

I refuse to see it.

The Titanic Killed James Cameron. I don't care what anyone says.

Titanic is a crappy movie.

Here is a link so you to can see the results and other things that happened last night.

OSCARS

I am off to the internet to see the highlights of last night.

Super funny

Clikc this link for funny hillarity for both boy and girl.

New project

I am working on a new project at work. I am creating a sample art project for and art packet. This one is especially challenging. I need to combine the art styles of

Andy Warhol,

andRoy Lichtenstein.

My piece of art needs to be a 1 cell or more comic strip about 2 everyday objects. It also needs to be done on a 11x17 piece of paper. I have a great idea for the texture. I guess Roy used screens to create all the dots in his work. So that will make things a LOT easier. But what to make a strip about...

That is where I am stumped. Any ideas?

Why I like to "blog"

I was thinking yesterday about why I am enjoying blogging so much. What is it that draws me to the computer to write down my thoughts and feelings, and then share them with the world wide web. (besides being board)

I realized that this is one way I can communicate my feelings to people in general. I tend to feel very awkward around people. Even people I know and care about.

Blogging has been Fabulous for me. I feel more connected with friends and family, and it has been a way to get to know them less superficially.

I am really enjoying this. Yeah for the internet!!!!

Munchies

I am having the worst munchies ever. It did not matter what I ate this weekend, nothing was calming the hunger. Even my old favorites chocolate and cheese were not working. (not together, that would be gross) It is so frustrating especially since I am trying to eat healthier and in better portions. And all I want to do right now is eat!!! Man I should have had In and Out on Friday. Maybe that would have quieted the hunger. I am going to try and drink more water then give myself some projects to do. Hopefully this will keep my mind off of food.
