Serenity

I went to a movie last night and it was wonderful. After little sister went down, I left Kevin to put Leina to bed and headed for the theatre. I’ve always liked seeing movies alone. During high school, I worked in the local theatre and one perk was that I could see all the movies I wanted for free. So that summer, I pretty much saw everthing that hit the cinema. I found I enjoyed sitting alone, just me, my popcorn and some Hollywood entertainment. When I was pregnant with Leina, that last month was unbearable hot. Since the little cottage didn’t have air conditioning, I found myself once again watching movies solo. I think I saw everything possible during July just to say cool. And now, with the kids, I am once again a solo movie watcher. I suppose someday we’ll hire a sitter and see movies together again but I don’t mind a little alone time. It’s actually quite wonderful.

So I went to see Serenity and it was great! A lot darker and scarier than I imagined but an all around good movie. Kev saw it earlier in the week so we have been discussing our reactions and thoughts. It’s definately on Kev’s DVD wishlist. That’s for sure!

But today, I’m back home with the girls. Leina is asleep and Kulia is propped up here on my lap drooling onto the keyboard. I’m surprised the thing hasn’t shorted out yet. This kid is a drool machine of unheard of proportions. I pretty much have to change her shirt and diaper at the same time ’cause they each get soaked at the same rate. How she manages this without becoming severly dehydrated is a mystery to me.

And have you ever seen a small, bald, fat kid trying to gum a keyboard? It’s hilarious. Trust me. Sop [ease forgive any typos you see. It’s very hard to type while being slowly gummed to death but the world’s cutest infant. Who has just decided to blow out a diaper on my lap.

Sigh.

Looks like I’m going to need a new outfit too!

    I am glad that you both liked Serenity. I am trying to find a way to sneak away to catch it again. Maybe next week i will ‘run some errands’ for work for a couple of hours. Maybe we could all go see it together here in a couple of weeks! Suzy is going to be Inara for halloween, and I am going to be Mal (Just kidding).
