2 Hours and Counting

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.
