Fab Friday 5

Five smiles this week:

1. Mom invited me out with her and dad to the newest Italian restaurant in town. It’s a small town, so when there’s a new restaurant everybody and everybody has to try it out.

2. Still on summer hours, which means that we close the office at 3pm on Friday!

3. Got a couple of great movies in the mail this week from my Blockbuster on-line membership: Cry Baby (with a very young Johnny Depp), In Her Shoes (with Cameron Diaz and Shirley Maclaine) and Because I Said So (with Diane Keaton and Mandy Moore).

4. Packages. With books in them! Received Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (Ann Brashers), Fourplay (Jane Moore) and To Kill a Mockingbird (Harper Lee) in the mail from my book swap friends.

5. I am picking up the kids from the airport tomorrow. They have been at daddy’s in Vegas for the month.

Satisfied Saturday 6

My top Six reasons to wake up in the morning for this week:

1. This picture:

That's the kids on our Dillon Beach weekend trip.

2. This week is over! My boss has been on her honeymoon for the last two weeks and although I enjoyed the wedding in Santa Cruz, work has been a bitch without her.

3. Yes, last night (well technically this morning) I was one of those crazed fans in line to get the last Harry Potter book! I am actually re-reading the series (for the third time) before I read the final book however.

4. The kids will be home next weekend. I do miss their smiling faces, their genuine hugs and the "I love you mommy's".

5. Movies. I have to admit, I'm addicted to Blockbuster on-line. And was sorley disappointed when I didn't get a movie in the mail today, but alas I also have On Demand! Watched "Woman Wanted" with Helen Hunt tonight. Okay, yea cried twice. Good movie!

6. Music. Music is the window to the soul.

You Know You're Living In 2007 When...

1. You accidentally enter your password on the microwave.

2. You haven't played solitaire with real cards in years.

3. You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of 5.

4. You e-mail the person who works at the desk next to you.

5. Your reason for not staying in touch with friends and family is that they don't have e-mail addresses.

6. You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if anyone is home to help you carry in the groceries.

7. Every commercial on television has a web site at the bottom of the screen.

8. Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn't have the first 20 or years of your life, is now a cause for panic and you turn around to go and get it.

10. You get up in the morning and go on line before getting your coffee.

11. You start tilting your head sideways to smile. : )

12. You're reading this and nodding and laughing.

13. Even worse, you know exactly to whom you are going to send this message to.

14. You are too busy to notice there was no #9 on this list.

15. You actually scrolled back up to check that there wasn't a #9 on this list. And now you are laughing at yourself :-)

Movie Quotes

Favorite quotes from one of my favorite movies:

*Jules: The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

*[Vincent goes up to Butch at the bar]

Butch: Starin' at something, friend?

Vincent: I ain't your friend, palooka.

Butch: What did you say?

Vincent: I think you heard me just fine, punchy.

*Jules: I don't wanna hear about no motherfuckin' ifs. All I wanna hear from your ass is, You ain't got no problem, Jules. I'm on the motherfucker. Go back in there, chill them niggers out and wait for the calvary which should be coming directly.

Marsellus: You ain't got no problem, Jules. I'm on the motherfucker. Go back in there, chill them niggers out and wait for the Wolf who should be coming directly.

*Vincent: Bacon tastes gooood. Pork chops taste gooood.

*Jules: If my answers frighten you then you should cease asking scary questions.

*Jules: You sending the Wolf?

Marsellus: Oh, you feel better, motherfucker?

Jules: [relieved] Shit, negro, that's all you had to say.
