and the beat goes on.....



It was a long weekend. Not long as in an extra day off, just long. Star Trek came out this weekend. Trekkies are messy. I think their minds got "beamed up" and they forgot how to throw away their own trash. Made for a few long nights at work.


On the up side though, I got to go out for dinner with a couple of my girl friends (Kelly, Dawn-Marie and Jen) on Saturday. We went to California Pizza Kitchen down at the gateway mall. I never go to the gateway so this was my first time there. The food was pretty good and the company was even better.


Mother's Day was pretty okay. I was so far beyond tired that David let me skip church and sleep until 4 in the afternoon. That was the best present ever.


Ally got her braces put on today. She is pretty excited about them. She also had a retainer put in on her bottom teeth and it is kind of funny to hear her talk now. She will be used to it in no time. She is not one to slow down for anything....ever.....

I will never chew gum again. Ever.

So most of you know I work at a movie theatre. I get the glamorous job of cleaning up after everyone has gone home for the night. I am always amazed at how many people are incapable of throwing their trash away. Seriously, it is not a hard thing to drop your popcorn bucket in a garbage can on your way out the door. I spent all of Saturday night flipping over the tables in the f0od court and scraping off all the gum that people stick to the bottoms of the tables. 4 hours and I didn't get all the tables clean. That is a lot of gum. I don't think I will ever be able to chew gum again. EVER! My back and wrists hurt like nothing else for the next two days.

I have decided to take advantage of of my job perks - free movies. I saw 3 yesterday and am planning on seeing one today. I took Ryan to see Monsters vs. Aliens in 3D. He loves that movies. It is always so funny to listen to little kids react to 3D and watch them reach out to grab the objects flying at them. i also took Ally to see Hannah Montana. She LOVED it! I thought it was cute but predictable - very predictable. I think what annoys me about Hannah Montana and most of Disney's live action stuff is how badly they over-act! It would be a lot better if they could all just dial it down a bit. But the music was fun and Ally had a good time. Then David and I saw a movie called Fighting. I had never heard of it. It was also fairly predictable. Not great, but not bad. They kept the violence/graphicness (is that a word? it should be!) toned down. Our show started at 10:15 and when we got the tickets we were the only ones in the theatre so w sat in the back row. By the time the show started 4 other people came in to the theatre and they all sat on the back row as well! Why? they had the whole theatre to chose from and they all sat by us! Annoying and amusing at the same time. Would you sit that close to someone else if every other seat in the theatre was empty?
