25th of Feb.

29 years ago, my brother was given the best gift he could ever EVER ask for.  He got ME, a little sister.  Look how happy we both are to share our birthday cake.  I think it was about this age I started requesting my own.  
Happy Birthday Chris!!!  
May you celebrate many many more!

The Drowsy Chaperone

Adam and I went to see my friend Jen once again this year in ECC's musical last weekend, The Drowsy Chaperone!  We had no expectations, since we had no idea what the story was about.  Of course, as always it was a great show.  Once again, I sit in the theater wishing I could do what she does.  Get up on stage and just ACT.  Alas, my one and only try out for the school play in 7th grade ended in tears and a major fear of public speaking.

If you have never seen this show, do not shy away.  It is wonderful, a play within a play, I would say.  Support local theater!!!

Alisa's Baby Shower

 Alisa's having a baby, and we celebrated with her first baby shower on January 29th hosted by her mom.  It was at Bartlett Hills and was really quite lovely.  Baby L received a lot of nice things to shower him or her into this world and the parents to be couldn't be happier.
Alisa's cousin Ryan made this tricycle all out
of baby things.  It was cute, and all done by a male.
She wants to be surprised so guests were asked to pick
a pin and wear what you think Alisa will be having.
These adorable cupcakes were made by Mrs. S.
I couldn't get over them.

Adam's Home

Adam was gone on a business trip for 1 whole week.  And I was bored out of my mind.  My favorite part about him being gone is catching up with movies, he would never watch in a million years.  And so, for the 6 people who read my blog.  Here are my reviews:

Something Borrowed
Staring Kate Hudson, Ginnifer Goodwin, John Krasinski, and Colin Egglesfield (who played Erica Kane's super handsome son in All My Children).  Basically Ginnifer *weird spelling right?* and Colin are good friends in college, they like each other but don't come out and say it, Colin ends up with Ginnifer's best friend, played by Kate Hudson and they are set to be married.  Ginnifer and Colin basically end up making out in a cab, and then Colin has this small dilemma thru the rest of the movie.  Kate or Ginnifer?  John is just thrown in there to be the conscious of Ginnifer.  And there you have it... a movie Adam would never watch.  

Then She Found Me
Staring Helen Hunt, Colin Firth, Bette Midler, and Matthew Broderick.  It's about Helen Hunt finding out that Bette Midler is her biological famous mother.  She is also in some sort of desperate need to have a baby.  She's married to Matthew Broderick.  Upon finding out that Matthew is leaving her, she also finds out that she's finally pregnant with his baby too.  Helen Hunt moves fast and is already with Colin Firth by this time. I dunno, 2 months I guess.  And the 3 of them start attending all doctors appointments and such.  It's full of emotion and funniness all at once.  

*on a side note... I explained this movie to Bea at work, she is 23.  I tell her that Bette Midler is in it... she reply's, WHO'S THAT?  I am just dumbfounded.  I go on to say... Beaches, Wind Beneath My Wings, From A Distance, Hocus Pocus, First Wives Club.... Nothing, she looked at me with a blank stare.  And at that moment, I felt really OLD.

Remember Me
Starring Robert Pattinson and Emilie de Raven.  It's about this kid who is just misunderstood and feeling low and sad, and he meets this girl who you know, really UNDERSTANDS him.  And they hang.  And it all circulates around 9/11.  In the end, he feels better and they are really in love and then of course the 9/11 tragedy ruins it all.  Tear jerker.  I loved it.  Although, I can not look at Robert Pattinson as anyone other than Edward Cullen.  Another impressive fact.  Robert is English, and Emilie is Australian, and they both spoke in American tongue you might say.  I am always amazed by those kinds of things.  

Conviction
I watched about 30 minutes and got bored.  Probably cause I needed someone to explain a few things to me.

One Day
Starring Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess.  It's your basic tragic love story, friends for 20 years, and have been through all these horrible relationships with others, when what they don't realize is that the best one is their own.  They get together after 20 years and whattya know... tragedy.  Without giving it away, let's just say I was angry about this one.  I mean I watch a whole hour and a half movie and they pull the whole NO HAPPY ENDING.  Come on.  Still loved it though.

Soul Surfer
Starring Anna Sophia Robb and Dennis Quaid.  This is the true story of surfer about to turn pro Bethany Hamilton who in an instance gets her arm bitten off by a shark while paddling on her boat in Hawaii.  She never gives up and keeps on riding the waves, and it shows her ambition and drive.  I really loved everything about this movie.  By far my favorite!   

And there you have it 6 people who read my blog.
Watch any of them, you are sure to like them.
Except Conviction.  If you watch that one, tell me what happens.

Keegan's Birth Story

So 2 years ago, I was preaching to the choir.... "I am never going to do this again."  "One kid is it for me."  "T...
