The lazy days of summer

When the summer gets to a certain point where it's too hot to do much of anything, I tend to get really lazy. So, Saturday, I rented 6 movies and decided to settle in for a quiet and relaxed weekend. I really would have rather been shopping, or doing anything but sitting at home, but I really didn't have many decent offers for anything to do and people that I had asked to accompany me to anywhere but home, turned me down. So, I was stuck, inside a tiny living area with a toddler.

See, LuckyHusband worked the graveyard shift this weekend, so he was sleeping during the day, which meant that we didn't have the whole area to roam throughout and I had to keep LittleMan quiet so his daddy could sleep. I don't think Super Nanny could have completed that task without incident!

Anyway, back to the movies. I rented:
*Fat Albert Cartoons
*Bridget Jones's Diary
*Bridget Jones-Edge of Reason
*Mean Girls
*Hitch
*Calendar Girls

I watched all but the last one and I'm not so sure I'm going to watch it at all. It looks cute, but I'm tired of watching movies. So bored in fact that yesterday morning, I woke up, ate breakfast, and cleaned carpet! I must admit that the carpet feels so much better now. Softer I guess. I only cleaned my living room and the hallway. LittleMan's room is next and then after the garage sale (whenever that happens) the computer room (currently storing garage sale crap) and my room (which should be presentable by then) will be next. I think I have become OCD (which runs in my family) about cleanliness. Nothing can ever be too clean. That's why I love getting out of the house, because I don't think about it while I'm there.

As for the movies, I LOVED Bridget Jones. I've never watched either one and other than the constant boyfriend search, I could totally relate to poor Bridget. I'm a klutz and half the time my clothes, makeup, or hair are screwed up, so I could totally empathize. Mean Girls was cute and sadly reminded me of my high school class. And I thought Hitch was awesome. I love Eva Mendes. What a gorgeous woman!

Big Brother

I am so excited that one of my favorite shows is back on for another season. It starts Thursday and promises to have a big shock on the first episode. I don't know how they are going to beat last year's twist, but I can't wait for them to try! I almost hate to get caught up in the whole thing again, but I can't help myself. It's too hot outside to do much else but watch TV anyway.

.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.
Vacation

I am going on vacation toward the end of August, and I can't wait. We are leaving on a Thursday afternoon and coming back on Sunday, so it's just a short little trip, but I'm sooo ready. We are going to New Orleans since it isn't that far away. I have tons of stuff I want to do and I hope I can fit it all in. I am definitely going to:
*The D-Day Museum
*The New Orleans Mint Museum
*The Aquarium
*The Zoo
*French Quarter
*Riverwalk Mall (Body Shop here I come!)and a few other things have caught my interest!
On Sunday, on our way home, we are going to detour to Avery Island to the Tabasco plant. I'm really excited about that. I love factories! I went to a wine factory in Tennessee once. That was awesome!

Site of the day

This site is really awesome and this guy is very, very talented. Check him out!

Three things

Name 3 TV shows you wish that you could star in:
1. Unwrapped - I would love the behind the scenes stuff and the factory tours!
2. Big Brother - Just looks like fun!
3. Even though it's off the air...90210. I really wanted to live there. LOL!

Melissa-Mom to LittleMan (4/04); wife to LuckyHusband; full-time toxicologist; full-time housekeeper; full-time domestic laundromat manager (washes all the clothes); full-time domestic finance manager (pays all the bills and yells at husband for spending too much money on fishing stuff); and Keeper of the Cheerios. Lives in a tiny town; spends tons of time with family; reads; enjoys crafts. Can change a diaper, fill a sippy cup, and put on a toddler's shoes in 15.4 seconds flat, all while calculating the impact of petroleum hydrocarbons to a nearby surface water body (watch for me in the Toddler Olympics on CBS this fall). Addicted to Dr. Pepper; Kit Kats; and pasta. To spot me in a crowd: I'm the one with frizzy messed-up hair, smeared graham crackers on my shirt; huge purse with a diaper peeking out, toddler on her hip, and camera in hand at all times.
