Dear Nerdherd,
Please come fix my PS3, because I am having problems with it. I don't even know where to begin to fix it, or to explain the problem.
Thank you,
Nerdless.

Movies

I added pictures to those last ones, because I know you were full of anticipation waiting for the answers....


This sounded like fun, so here are some of my favorite movies....


1. Pick 15 of your favorite movies.
2. Go to IMDB and find a quote from each movie.
3. Post them in a note for everyone to guess.
4. Strike it out when someone guesses correctly, and put who guessed it and the movie.
5. NO GOOGLING/using IMDB search functions. That's cheating and it ruins the fun.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. "I always wanted to get my swerve on on my bike"


2. "Something wrong? Why would anything be wrong? We just had sex in a church - and we're not even married - and now we're gonna dig up a grave! I mean, what is that, like a triple sin? I'm surprised we haven't been struck by lightning" (Aubrey)

3. "I can't believe you lookin' for tips in the supermarket tabloids" (Aubrey)

4. "Are you going to make me sleep in the tub again"

5. "Whoa! Hold up there a second, fuzzbucket. You mean like, uh, the "live in a mud hut, wipe yourself with a leaf" type wild"

6. "If you utter so much as one syllable, I'LL HUNT YOU DOWN AND GUT YOU LIKE A FISH! If you'd like to fax me, press the star key"

7. "I have another scenario for you - I'm in love with you. I apologize for the blunt delivery, but as problematic as this fact may be, I'm in love... with YOU. I'm not feeling this because you're leaving, and not because it feels good to feel this way... which, by the way, it does, or did before you went off like that. I can't figure out the mathematics of this, I just know I love you." (Aubrey)


8. "You and I, we know the secret to life. It's Butter." (Debbie)


9. "I pee really fast. I live with five brothers, three cousins and only one bathroom. Believe me - I can pee faster than anyone in the world"
(Aubrey)

10. "There is no smoking on school grounds. Or freezing, or bursting into flames."

11. "Harold frantically grabs his lamp! He shook the hell out of it for no apparent reason"(Aubrey)

12. "If we went to a Halloween party dressed as Batman and Robin, I'd go as Robin. That's how much you mean to me.."

13. "Every time I try to talk to someone it's "sorry this" and "forgive me that" and "I'm not worthy".."

14. "Well, let's say this Twinkie represents the normal amount of psychokinetic energy in the New York area. Based on this morning's reading, it would be a Twinkie thirty-five feet long, weighing approximately six hundred pounds." (Aubrey)


15. " I don't know, just pay! Now stop whining and take it like a man"

Another melancholy Monday

Today in class we learned about color therapy and energy. I am going to practice some this weekend, Charise being my guinea pig. The more I learn about the holistic world of medicine, the more I realize how limited western medicine really is. Doctors mostly just treat symptoms, or remove organs when they aren't working as well as they should be. But the ayurvedic way focuses more on the body as a whole. Mind, body and spirit. They must all work together. If one is off balance, it can cause the others to falter.
As a massage therapist (or wellness technician), I am learning more and more to treat the whole person. I am so excited for this alternative world of healing and well being.

Anyway, so today was another Monday. I had class, then I went shopping with Charise. We went to the beauty supply store, animal ark, roberts crafts and target. I bought some way fun stuff. I would tell you, but that might spoil your Christmas suprise!

By the time I got home, Christy was passed out. Wesley was hungry, so I fed him while I watched Chuck and Heroes. Chuck was fun as usual. I loved that they brought in Gary Cole as Sarah's dad. He's a scammer. And Anna wants to move forward in her relationship with Morgan in a tangible way, so she wants them to move in together...but he buys a pos car instead. ...It was action packed...with the comedic effects, of course. And Zach Levi was just as good looking as always.

Heroes was pretty intense.
So, they all have their powers back. Claire and Hiro go back in time to keep Claire from becoming the host for the catalist. Hiro meets his mommy, who returns his memories to him, as well as gives him the catalist. But just as Claire and Hiro are about to return to the prestent time, Arthur Petrelli shows up and takes the catalist. He leaves Hiro powerless in the past, and returns Claire to the present to deliver a message to Angela Petrelli that he has won. Sylar is back to the brains, but mainly to get the ability to tell if you are lying. Which he uses against Arthur. The Hatian and Peter are back and show up to kill Arthur...but Sylar finishes the job. Arthur had already completed the formula by adding the catalist, so now Nathan and his sidekick Tracy Strauss are testing it on some soldiers. The first was Scott, who is played by Chad Faust (who was also in the 4400, which is a fabulous sci fi). He ended up with super strength, which is what they were hoping for. Next week (which will be the last of this year) looks like it is going to be just as awesome!

So, after Heroes, I got Wesley ready for bed and we snuggled until he went to sleep.


Today was pretty good, actually. Any day that starts with colors and ends in Zach Levi sounds like a pretty good day to me. :)

Because I need to put more pictures on here....
Here are my babies. Christy, Wesley and Jasper (Yes, he counts.) :)

A quick rewind

When my children are sick, I really learn to appreciate patience, mother's love and most importantly them. Christy has had the flu and so we have stayed home from school and daycare, so as not to share and also to rest sick bodies. I have been able to really sit with her and talk with her, read to her and just love her. I've also had a lot of one-on-one time with Wesley, while Christy has been asleep. My children are both such wonderful people. They are very sweet. Always willing to share with you a little part of them. (I may be biased, but it's the truth.)

For Thanksgiving, my children went with their dad. It was really strange to not have them with me. But we did have a good time. Brittany Asay came to our house for dinner. It was really nice to see her. She made the most amazingly delicious dip ever. I am so glad you posted the recipes, thank you Brittany.
It was fun to swap stories of defect ex-husbands. And the excitement that comes from being freed from said defects. :)
My cousins, the Steinhorsts, also came for dinner. We had the usual foods that you have, including the amazingly delicious dip. After dinner, the girls (minus Brittany) and Teddy all went to the movie theater to see Twilight.
I liked Twilight. I didn't love it, but have heard I will love it the second time I go. I did love Emmett and Jasper. Alice was also really close to how I pictured her. Edward was hot, but not as sexy as the media made him out to be. In my opinion.
We came home after the movie, and had pie. Really yummy pie. Josh had a slide show about his job in Chicago, where he made a really cool train set for the Botanical gardens. We took some pictures of everone on the couch. Somebody then broke it. :)
Brittany, Joshua and I went to see Madagascar 2 at like 10:50. It was fun. I love the Madagascar movies. And am happy and slightly weirded out that Gloria and Melman found love in Africa. I still would like to see them all return to New York. Or finally make it to the San Diego Zoo...:)

My birthday was on Tuesday, December 2. I turned 24. I feel old, even though 24 is not really old, I feel like i have experienced a lot of life. I am grateful for all of those experiences. Every single one. Even the defect.

Christy was sick on my birthday, so we just hung out and watched Little Einsteins and then ate cupcakes with my family. On Wednesday, Aubrey and Heather brought me Cafe Rio, Jeff Dunham's Christmas Special, and a Toblertone (sp?). We watched Elf and just laughed and had a great time. Thursday was my "party", we had chilli and fresh veggies, cake and ice cream and just hung out. Cori, Charise, Aubrey and Heather were there. I love my girls!

I have almost finished my Christmas shopping. There are only a few more things on my list that I need to get. So, I'm off to work for Santa. But before that, I need to get Christy some meds and water.

How is your week going?
