Looking for something to do on Saturday?

Last Saturday we had nothing planned, but as you know it is summer and summer days are not to be wasted inside…

My sister: Where do you want to go?

Me: Dunno, where do you want to go?

My sister: Umm, why don’t we go watch planes?

Me: Uh, whatever….

Kids: Yeah, planes! Yey!!

Me: Ok, planes it is then!

My Sister: I am so fascinated and amazed by planes!

Me: Yeah?

My sister: Why? Arn’t you?

Me: Umm, not so much, I think I am more fascinated by trains (totally not being sarcastic)

My sister: *Look of utter disbelief and slight disgust* Wow, I think I am more fascinated by a fax machine than a train!

Me: Alright, let’s get out of here. What do you want to do now?

Kids: Ice Cream!

So, if you’re looking to spend $25 for 5 people to have “fun”, then you need to go watch planes and then have dessert! Actually, the kids had a blast.

My new bag

Remember how I said that I wanted a new bag, and remember how I was also looking for a laptop bag? Well, I found one…

…that is large enough to fit my laptop, but cool enough to use as a regular bag! It’s from enyce, which is a whole generation or 2 more hip than I can ever be, but I do love the bag!

The truth is apparently still out there…

So, I went to see x-files, the movie, over the weekend, because, yes, I was a big x-files fan, although I sort of stopped watching at the end of the series so I have no idea what happened. Anyway, that didn’t seem to matter.

TIP: AMC has half-priced tickets for all shows before noon – apparently I was the only one who knew that… because I have kids and I always take them to pre-noon shows!

The movie was like a really long episode of CSI, in my opinion at least, except with Mulder and Scully, of course. There was nothing extremely paranormal, or even excessively bizarre, and somehow it felt a little like a bad love story… sort of. But, it was alright – there was no way I was paying full price to watch it, so I dragged my sister to the theater at 11:15 in the morning! Although, I actually do prefer to go to the movies either in the day, or really late on weekday nights – because it’s not too crowded, and there are almost no teenagers!

Anyone else seen it? Or planning on it?

Oh, my smart kids

5 year old: You know, I really feel like I am growing!

4 year old: Me too! I feel a lot of bones in my head!

5 year old: Duuude! That does not mean that you’re growing, we always have bones in our head!

4 year old: Well, I feel some muscle in my head too!

i really do hope there are better ways…

Sister (on phone): Hey

Me: Hey

Sister: What’s up?

Me: Nothin, home alone on a Friday nite

Sister: What u going to do?

Me: Dunno, watch a sappy movie and feel even more loserish

Sister: Hmm why don’t u watch the queen?

Me: Because I don’t want to bore myself to death

Sister: Why not?

Me: I just don’t think its a good way to go
