A good Monday, Fair Gorgeouses! (Can you tell I’m stuck in the 16th century reading The Other Boleyn Girl? Loving it!) Today, I share with thee tales of FIRST MOVIE and FAT fa-freaking LIPS.
With much trepidation, we took the monkey AND the rascal to their first movie:

My GAWRSH, what a FABULOUS movie. Jim Carrey and Steve Carell? Positively SPARKLES. And, O, how I LOVE the whole world-inside-a-spec concept. It’s what I LIVE for. When I was little, I totally thought there were universes in my fingernails, and in the cells within my fingernails. I was such a little weirdo. But, LO, I should have known this book back then…. Maybe I’d have felt a little more, say, normal or something…. Cheaty TOTALLY recommends this movie….
Sorry, I can’t hear myself think. The rascal’s having a wail-a-thon. Freakin’ FRICK. Sometimes — like, on a Sunday night when you’re still battling the world’s wickedest cold — it’s just a little too much to handle. You know? Too much to handle, yes, but s’okay. I must go to him. Await my return, kindly! Adieu for now.
(While I go to him, the monkey will serenade you with her brillers rendition of Alicia Keys’ No One. She’s grateful for an audience other than Mama and JOSH. Revel!)
Uch, MARGE was just drinking from my giant Starbucks mug o’ water. Do you think I can still drink it? Or, do I have to go ALL the way back downstairs and get another? I drink it. Mmmm….
Anyway, here’s the monkey at her first movie:

Popcorn bag was BIGGER THAN HER! LAAAAA!
Here’s the rascal at his first movie:

Kiss his head! Kiss his head! It’s the most kissable head. Seriously. I’m always kissing it. Oy oy oy!
I’m surprised the monkey devoured that entire tub of popcorn (with Josh-O’s help, ‘course) because she split her lip that morn…. Salty popcorn on split lip can’t be pleasant…, can it? Check it (preferably on an empty stomach):

Ow! My poor widdo BABY!!!
There was blood EVERYWHERE when it happened — at my friend Lolo’s baby naming. ALL over her face. On her sleeves, in her ear.
Basically, she fell walking up a stair and bit her lip. She has two perfect tooth marks on her lip, where the teeth went in…. And that lip is FAT, man! My poor baby. But, she was brave, Gorgeouses. So brave.
I made a body-lovin’ healthy dinner this eve, and it was scrumptious.

Eating healthy food is the ultimate sign of self-love, ultimate proof that you really do care for your body…. I learned that from writing in a journal this weekend….
It’s a chicken stir fry. And, since I totally felt like pita, I stuffed it inside pitas like so….

It was OK. Pita got a bit mushy.
The chicken’s yellowy because I use turmeric. Which is virtually tasteless, but SO healthy for you — so say the Ayurvedics…. (Ayurveda is the diet side of Yoga….) I put turmeric in everything.
Okay, the Gorgeous GOSSIPS await. Must dash and then heal from this pesky cold with MUCH SLEEP (rascal-permitting, of course). Come join us!
Love.

I WISH my daughter would sit through a movie. Instead, she gets freaked out by the loud darkness and wants to leave 2 minutes in!

You are so BRAVE to take two kids under three to a movie! I’m glad you enjoyed it though, I think we will take Scott on Friday.

My son’s first movie was Toy Story. We did not make it through the movie, he just did not quite grasp the concept. When he saw the toys up on screen he wanted to go up and play with them! LOL

I took DD to her first movie when she was 3. “Lilo and Stitch” she loved it but kept her fingers in her ears the entire time cuz it was LOUD. Now the little stinker wants to go see all the movies. SHOOT she used to be content to wait until it came out on DVD and check it out for free from the library.
Actually while salt does sting, it kinda feels like a good sting on a mouth wound. I freaked my mom out really good as a child by wanting really satly foods after mouth injuries. (running around with a fishing pole and rammed it in my mouth…yuck! and had minor surgery once too.)
I just finished reading “What the Dog Did”…oh it is sooooo funny.

We saw Horton too… it was good. But (bad parents), we just took the “big guys” and left the little one (same age as the Monkey) at day care.

Funny – we saw that too on Sat. Of course, I’m not so nice, left little one at my mom’s because he is almost 2 & would not have sat for anything! I loved the movie too. Have a good week.

I remember taking The Boy to see Finding Nemo when he was 2ish and HE SLEPT THROUGH ALL OF IT! I was RIPPED OFF!
That chicken stir-fry looks gooooooood.

i took isabella to see alvin and the chipmunks in december. we spent more time in the bathroom peeing and more time on the floor eating popcorn off the floor than actually watching the movie.
i’m assuming she enjoyed?

I think I’ll have to take my kiddo’s to Horton, they would love it!
Oh! I saw the Other Boleyn Girl this weekend and I spent the entire movie explaining how it was different from the book. Ick. I am always disappointed in movies made from books. Oh well.
Feel better!

HEY! We saw Horton on Saturday too! The adults enjoyed it as much as my 11, 9, and 5 year old! FanTAStic movie! But what is UP with the cost of a movie these days…don’t these people know we’re in a recession! $84.00 for a family of 5! Am I the only person in the world that thinks this is reDICulous??!!

I can’t wait to take Jack and Molly to the movies. As Jackie has the attention span of a gnat, we will have to wait a while.

That’s cool that you guys could go to see a flick! My mother used to make me take my brother and sister to see a movie every Saturday. I was 8, he was 5 and she was 2. She cried and cried adn cried! The guy at the theatre finally told me I couldn’t bring her anymore. Ha!
I love popcorn! Gimme some!!

Loved the movie! I used to imagine there were little people inside my record player singing when I was little. Now that’s weird!!!
Heather said, March 17th, 2008 at 11:49 pm
Turmeric – what’s the secret Haley ? And what’s your secret in being able to handle chicken ? I mean with your aversion to mammals… I kind of feel the same about poultry. It’s unfortunate, because I think my body needs it. So I really DO want your secret !

You are always such a breath of fresh air! Seriously, I can be in the worst mood, come here and read you and then I’m LMAO!
My puppy does the same thing with my water and I always have to gauge whether or not she got tongue into it.
We so have the same taste in books and movies (and even music…I’m obsessed with Timbaland too!). I’ll have to check out your current read. I find myself thinking in British accents whenever I read one of those too, lol!
