I am not one to usually send a link to people, but this article is so well written and so well phrased and I could not agree more.

The Big Gay Chip On My Shoulder

Please read it, it's worth every second of your time!

Bday and Vday OUT

So, my time to be spoiled is gone. I can't be sad, because I really was spoiled.

My husband has done multiple things for me in the past two weeks for my Birthday and Valentines Day. For my birthday I got my hair cut and colored, $150 worth of clothes, a sweet card andwe went to see Yes Man (which was stupidly hilarious!)
For Valentines Day I got a beautiful bouquet of roses and star gazer lily's which are my FAVORITE flower and I have NEVER gotten them from my husband, I almost cried. Also got a very sweet card, got a smoothie, went out to an early dinner and went to see Twilight again! I saw it the day it came out, but Howard hadn't seen it. *le sigh*
And today...(yes I know, no special day) we went out to breakfast then to go see Marley and Me. Marley and Me was a very cute movie, but I cried like a baby multiple times. The miscarriage scene was...rough.

On Valentines Day we went to go pick up Howard's glasses that were ready. While we were there (after we had waited 45 minutes to be seen) I asked about my glasses. The girl came out looking sheepish and freaked out and said my frames have ALSO been discontinued and asked me if they had called me. Um no. So, she went and got the manager and he told her to tell me to keep the ones I had. Once again: Um, no. So...I got to pick NEW FRAMES and get NEW LENSES for the same price my original ones were (package $220). I got a totally different shape and style I would of never of chosen but fell IN LOVE with when the sales girl picked them for me. I really like my new glasses. They are fabulous.

For Vday I got Howard a card and a box of chocolate covered cherries (his FAVE!). The girls got stuffed toys and cards. Kenzie got real roses and a chocolate one. Maddie got a beautiful multicolored pink, lime green and white plad dress.

So...I wonder how Howard is going to top this next year.

Movie Confusion

I find this entertaining and a little annoying.

Today is my birthday and my husband wanted to take me out to dinner. I asked him to take me to get quick bite and then to a movie instead. He agreed, yay!

Well he said he wanted to see either 'Bride Wars' or 'He's just not that into you'. Both movies I would love to see. I have issues with seeing romantic comedies in the theater. The theater experience should be for action or beautiful sites and scenes, not something I could watch in my living room and get the same affect. Now, I do have exceptions to this issue but it still bothers me because I don't go to the theater very often.

I appreciate that my husband enjoys romantic comedies. I just don't know if I want to see them, in the theater. To be honest, I want to go see 'Coraline 3D'. I really want to take Kenzie to see it, but it is my birthday and I have been told that I need to be a little selfish and go see what I want to see.

Right now it's a toss up.

He's just not that into you
Push
The Uninvited
Inkheart
The curious case of Benjamin Button

See, I told you I want to see everything.

And I would also like to see 'Bride Wars', but it's about to be out of the theaters and only has 3 random showings. I would also like to take my husband to see 'Twilight'. Since he hasn't seen it and I would love to see it again. Howard doesn't want to go see something I've already seen, and it does come out on video on March 21st (Kenzie's birthday I might add).

OH! A followup from last night- I have the temporary glasses and they're ugly as sin but I can see! And they said that they would have my new frames in 5-14 days from now. Ugh, not happy but at least I can see. They have Howard's frames and are putting the new lenses in and they will be ready tomorrow. He has temporary frames and lenses that make him look funny too. Oh and we don't have to pay a penny for new lenses for Howard and new frames and lenses for me, when originally they cost almost $200.

Can't see!

You read correctly. I cannot see. Right now typing looks like black smudge so if I make any mistakes I am leaving them for...well for effect, lol.

Saturday January 31st we went into eye masters to claim our warranty for new lenses (costs us a few bucks, but new lenses!). They said they couldn't have them done until Tuesday, and I cannot see without my glasses and Howard barely can either. So that was no good. The sweet salesman said that he could find duplicates for our glasses and send those in to have the lenses cut and then we can come in and they will put the lenses in the correct frames. GREAT, right? We thought so.

Anyway, Tuesday comes and leaves, as does a week since we put in for our new lenses. We call on Sunday and they tell us to call back on Monday. Monday comes and they're closed. Great. So today rolls around and Howard calls. Someone answers and says that they will call him back. They didn't so a few hours later, Howard called them back. Our lenses are cut and ready for us. YAY!

So, this evening before he grilled steaks for dinner he took Kenzie and my glasses to eyemasters to get our new lenses. He starts twittering that he's pissed off at waiting. An hour goes by...still nothing. Finally I text him and ask him what is going on.
He calls me within 10 minutes and tells me they have now BROKEN MY FRAMES and cut the wrong lenses for him. They said they would send me the frames that they had used to cut the correct lense size for me until a replacement frame can be ordered with no idea how long it'll take to get a replacement frame in. I told Howard that he needs to speak to a manager, now. And we will get my replacement frames and new lenses and WE WILL NOT PAY A PENNY! He brushes me off. {omg at this point I wanted to beat him with a lamp!}

So I am sitting here with a starving toddler because steak is still not grilled {I'm about to break out the indoor grill} and I cannot see a damn thing. I have NO idea what is going on with my glasses or his. I am sooooo furious at Eyemasters and for Howard for not being more assertive!

Did I mention the frames that I am going to be wearing for God knows how long are green and purple? Lovely huh?

Soulful?

Ok, so in attempt to chill my toddler out so she would be up to the idea of taking a nap I turned on playhouse disney. A mini show came on called Choo Choo Soul. Now this show has two of her favorite things in it, music and trains so yay!

Has anyone actually taken a look at Genevieve from Choo Choo Soul? Can we say drag brows?


YIKES!!!!

Need a laugh?

Hands down, I have not laughed this hard in way too long. Yes, some of my friends make fun of me for admitting that I watched Laguna Beach, The Hills and now The City but I am hooked and these photos that surfaced today of Spedi are hilarious!

Check out the hilarity

Spencer looks like a stage mom and in some of the pics it looks like Heidi is trying to pass a vacuum cleaner.
