Scrapped...the movie

Don't know if you all saw this on Two Peas but I am rolling:

How about we all get together to see it when it comes out? And if we're going to do that we may as well make a whole scrapbooking weekend out of it! I had a passing thought of how cool it would be to do a documentary on scrapbooking but had no idea how, or the resources, to do it. I think this guy is hilarious and it will be worth seeing! Yes, I am now a linking fool. Have a great weekend!

I'm Susan?!?!

Just reading Shannon's blog and had to check out the Desperate Housewives quiz. I came up as Susan which I just can't believe except that the description is right on. It says something like - you try to do the right thing, but it never goes the right way, blah, blah, blah, and you have to remind yourself you are the grown-up. Or something like that. Fairly accurate. Constantly have to remind myself I'm the grown-up. Constantly frightens me that I AM a grown-up! When housewives came out someone asked me which one I thought I was like and, being the existential/philosophical gal that I am, said that they (the main characters) each represented parts of every woman. I guess now that I'm thinking about it, I am most like Susan but have dashes of the others thrown in (come on, doesn't every woman want a little Gabrielle in them?) I am still cracking up that Shannon is Edie - I need to hang out with her a little more! It really could be worse. I could be Brie. Oh, I have no doubt she's in here - she definitely rears her ugly head daily, but there's a certain amount of relief that she isn't the one running the show. OK - starting to overthink this WAY too much!

And if you don't watch Desperate Housewives this blog entry is completely boring to you - but really you should be watching! For shame! And with the Grey's Anatomy chaser...come on, that's a seriously great night of TV! And you can still catch Soprano's on Monday night at 10pm. OK, so I have a TV problem, sue me. If you need a brain dump it may as well be on good TV.

That's all folks...boring, but true. And I got to put off thinking about dinner for a few more minutes! Later! (And if someone could tell me how to do links I'll put one up for the quiz.)

I ROCK! Woo Hoo - did it! There it is. Check it out! I know I'm road kill on the info highway, let me just have my moment of victory. (:

The Perfect Morning

Saturday morning was Spence's first T-ball game. The weather could not have been more gorgeous and he could not have been more excited. He's playing through Reston Little League so this is the real deal - team shirts, hats, pants - even socks! Our only team experience has been soccer at the "Y" so this is a big deal and Spence is really into it. Baseball has always been part of my life and to see Spence play is just too darn cool! He had three big hits and showed some awesome fielding! Not one ball got by him and he had great throws to first. After practices that look an awful lot like the Bad News Bears, we were really (pleasantly) surprised. Of course, these are five year olds we're talking about so we're not expecting major league plays but when a ball doesn't roll between their legs and they actually throw it straight - it may as well be the big leagues! There is no score keeping, there are only three innings and everyone gets to bat each inning. The kids only go one base at a time so they learn how to run the bases. With all the "balls going between the legs" action there would never be anybody left on base so it's a great way for the kids to learn the sport. Right now they are just learning how to get the ball and throw to first and how to run the bases. It can be a complicated sport so I think it's a great way to start them off. And, I forgot the coolest part, the team's name is the Volcanoes and they're motto is "We're Hot!" You have got to love that! So really, I always dreamed of doing stuff like going to watch Spence play baseball on a Saturday morning and there we were. How freakin' cool!
