2 Hours and Counting

[amberfocus]

In two hours we get to dump the kids, the boy at MIL's house and the girl at a birthday party and then DH and I are heading down to Burlington and going out to dinner for my birthday. Which isn't technically until tomorrow, but I didn't think it would be very nice to actually dump the kids on my actual birthday, since they kind of like to spend it with me and all. But it will be nice to have an actual conversation without being interupted and spend some time alone with my husband. T is going through a major interuption phase right now and it is driving me straight up the wall. We can't even sit through a DVD right now without him wanting to ask a question every five minutes, and not about the movie.

Last night we watched Abduction. It was really good for what it was, though I think there was far too much swearing for a PG-13 movie. I'm not a big fan of the Twilight contingent, but I've been watching Taylor Lautner since Shark Boy and Lava Girl, so I give him a pass. I think the kid is going to be an excellent action star one day. He's well on his way and he's certainly got the muscles for it. That kid's arms! The movie was really good, despite having to pause it every five minutes. At first I thought it was going to annoy the crap out of me, because Taylor's character was one of those smirking boys you knew in high school that you just want to wipe the smirk off their face, but that passed after the opening and things got much better from there on out. It was a really good action/adventure, blow them up sort of thing. I can see him moving into this type of movie and not being typecast like I'm sure quite a few of the others will be.

After the kids went to bed I watched Letters to Juliet. What a sweet movie. I really like Amanda Seyfried, the more I see of her. There's something so ethereal about her. Anyway, a nice little romance.

Ooh! You might have seen me in "Abduction"! I was an extra in the PNC Park scenes. I was probably the only one wearing blue :-)

Also, yay for birthday dinner! Happy birthday tomorrow!!! :-D

Ooooh, I really liked Letters to Juliet too! =D

Hope you have a great time. And happy birthday if I don't get the chance to say it tomorrow!

[amberfocus.livejournal.com]

Thank you. Oh, really? What part of it were you in? Where they are outside or where they are inside? I still have it out so I could go search for the spot. Although if you knew what minute you were at...?

[amberfocus.livejournal.com]

It was great, wasn't it?

[amberfocus.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

[onabearskinrug.livejournal.com]

Not sure yet. I actually haven't had the time to see it! And I keep meaning to pick up the DVD :-) I might be in the spot where he and the bad guy are in the stands or inside. Mostly inside the park is where we filmed :-)

Also where the bad guy was chasing him. He actually crashed into one of my friends :-)

Light blue or dark blue? I think I've got it narrowed down.

[onabearskinrug.livejournal.com]

Ooh! Um, I guess it was a darker blue, not quite navy but maybe royal? Um...gray capris, ponytail? With a group of people including a REALLY tall guy :-)

[amberfocus.livejournal.com]

Yep, think I found you. Cool.

[amberfocus.livejournal.com]

Thank you. Yep, he's definitely going places.

[onabearskinrug.livejournal.com]

Yay!!! I am vain enough to mention that this was 50 pounds ago :-) It's okay, right? I wasn't making a weird face or anything? :-)

But the movie was good? Worth picking up the DVD? or maybe Netflix it? :-)

Yay a date night! Have a wonderful time and Happy Birthday! Abduction sounds good - I'll have to look that up. Yeah, I think Taylor Lautner has a certain amount of charisma.

Have fun and happy birthday!

[teikachikata.livejournal.com]

I hope you have a wonderful birthday.

Happy Birthday!!!!!

[amberfocus.livejournal.com]

The movie was really good after the first bit with the party ended. Definitely an adrenaline rush. I got it out of the DVDExpress machine at the grocery store for a $1.30. Worth watching.

And it's okay to be vain! I'm still preening about losing 45 pounds since July (and keeping it off). If you are the person I think you are, you just looked normal.

Happy Birthday!

It was great, too. Thank you. And yes, he does have charisma in spades.
