Weekend Update

Saw "Collateral" on Saturday night. Good movie--not a perfect film, but nonetheless, a gripping, good story, and solid acting. And, of course, Tom Cruise isn't bad either. Although, his hair was sort of weird for me. It was a little distracting at first because I think he looks too young to be gray, but after a while, I didn't notice it (ever since Friday I am still having hair issues). Next on the list is Open Water, as I heard it made Jaws look like Flipper in every way. Naomi? Wanna go?

Yesterday Dan and I fought a lot, which wasn't fun. We have had a really difficult couple of months--the kind where the vows keep you going and not what is actually happening in our midst. We have a lot of added stress into our lives with our changing circumstances and my Mom living here, and I am hopeful that after this time, our hearts will be renewed for one another and we will have a more redemptive and glorious season ahead.

It was a crazy weekend with Dan's sister in town staying with us, my Mom staying here, Dan's two kids and our two kids, and all of the stress that comes along with a lot of people under one roof--not to mention little Eva Luigi Maria Concetta (her new designated Catholic name) waking up every 2-3 hours at night). I am learning that the older I get, the more of an introvert I am, and therefore, the more exhausted I feel by being around people constantly. I am really needing some downtime, and I am thankful that today I will be able to have a little.

It was a while ago, but did anyone, by chance, hear about that story of the man who bought an individual sized bottle of Snapple or soda, and he thought there was a penis inside of it? He took it immediately to the police, and sure, enough, they removed this "thing" in the shape of a penis and sent it to the lab for testing before they started a serious criminal investigation looking for someone missing his "member". It turned out to be MOLD that grew into a phallic shape inside of the juice bottle. I can't find the link about it, but I was, for some wacky reason, thinking about it this morning, and thought I would share a little bizarre tale with you for some Monday entertainment.
