My Random Thoughts

Twilight – Jayci – Twilight

bossdoss1 — Sat, 21 Mar 2009 23:37:21 +0000

Today was the much anticipated release of "Twilight" on DVD. I was at Target to get my copy when the store opened. The Target version comes with a copy for my ipod so I can have it with me wherever I go. After picking up the dvd, we headed off to Newnan to meet the munchie and Mandy. We had a tug-o-war who would get to hold her first. I WON! Then it was mom's turn…

After playing hot potato, we went to the dollar spot and Jayci got her own flower…

We spent the rest of the day shopping and Jayci found a new toy. His name is Mortimer the Moose…

After a full day with the little one, we came back home and watched Twilight. I'll be watching it all weekend. I can't wait for New Moon the Movie…

My Perfect Day

Today…

After my sleep-a-thon yesterday (I didn't sleep at all the previous evening), today was the BEST day ever. I started by starting the marathon cleaning session that is my part of the house. Amanda and I had set up some girl time in the afternoon. I can't remember the last time we had real girl fun. We started by shopping at our favorite store (Target) and then went to the movies to see our favorite movie from our favorite book – what else but Twilight…

This week is "Twilight Week". The director's handbook is being released on Tuesday.

The DVD is being released on Saturday…

To top it off – Today was Forks Day. It was overcast and raining all day long. This should be a very good week. See you in the "Twilight".

I’m So Excited…

What a Weekend…

bossdoss1 — Sun, 01 Mar 2009 18:02:37 +0000

Well, once I got off of work on Friday, I went to Target (nice way to start the weekend). To my amazement, I was able to find a Wii Fit. I've been looking for one for awhile. I've worked out on it every day. It is a lot of fun.

Yesterday, I met May and the kids at Waffle House for breakfast. It was nice to see the kids (and Mandy). After spending some time together, we went to Bella's birthday party. We went to "Bounce U" where the kids got to bounce their time away then have a High School Musical 3 birthday party.

Today, it snowed. It rarely snows in Georgia. Check out the pics…

Need Sleep

bossdoss1 — Fri, 20 Feb 2009 21:32:10 +0000

this weekend is all about sleeping in. But watch, I won’t be able to. Maybe – Let’s hope…

The Holiday Weekend

bossdoss1 — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 20:53:15 +0000

When I got off of work on Friday, I went to the movies. I saw "He's Just That Not Into You". It isn't that bad – not great, but not bad. It was a nice way to start the holiday weekend. If you haven't seen the trailer, see below…

The Quinn gang came down for the weekend. Molly, Mandy, and Scott went to see "Dracula the ballet" while Me-Me and Aunt Cheryl babysat the little one. I fell asleep so Mom had the long haul. Before the left for the show, Mandy, Jayci, Mom, and myself went shopping.

Sunday, we just enjoyed a lazy day and watched the Daytona 500.

Today, I slept in until 8a (that was wonderful) then went to see "Confessions of a Shopaholic". It was GREAT! I would totally recommend this movie. If you haven't seen the trailer, see below…

I'm going to enjoy the rest of my day off. I haven't decided: either watch shows I have recorded on the DVR or watch movies I got from Netflix.
I guess we will have to wait and see…

My Pretty Girl

bossdoss1 — Sun, 08 Feb 2009 03:17:28 +0000

Since the Quinns arrived to help with the garage door, we got the benefit of playing with the little one. Here is my favorite picture from the evening…

She is just too cute…

If It’s Broke – Can It Be Fixed???

bossdoss1 — Sat, 07 Feb 2009 14:31:03 +0000

Last night after picking dad up from work, we drove home and tried to open the garage door. It opened for about a foot then came slamming down. When we walked into the garage, this is what we saw…

It wouldn't be so bad but we can't get the their car out of the garage. My car is on loan today and hopefully we can figure out how to open the door or get it fixed today. I need my car…
