Six Years Today!
May. 25th, 2008 07:08 pmAlong with celebrating Memorial Day weekend, we also are celebrating our 6th Wedding Anniversary today! Sometimes, it seems like its not been that long and other times... Well, I can't remember how it was without him :)
However, we did our celebration yesterday by taking in a movie double header. Both of us have been wanting to see two different movies since we first heard about both of them over a year ago. So we went to both!! Then dinner at Ryan's Buffet after.
Joe grew up reading the Iron Man comics. I grew up watching one of the first animes here in the U.S. Speed Racer (Yes I have spent my travels back from NJ collecting the McDonald's toys and currently am only missing the red and black car of the japanese driver :D!!)
Both were truly awesome and both followed the originals rather well and quite closely! Can't wait for sequels!!
*toddles off to listen to her Speed Racer Soundtrack for the nth hundredth time today :D

Squee Mail Catch up
Jan. 22nd, 2008 03:19 pmAs I mentioned in an earlier post, over the past few weeks, I have been the recipient of some fabulous Squee Mail that I can finally share pictures with you now.
Well almost .... I wasn't as patient as others and ate Jen's delicious candies before taking photos :D
Well the first one wasn't actually mailed but my husband's gift for me this year. He found me a black and silver stocking and a mini one that is black, silver and red. Three Christmas cds -- Christmas with the Rat Pack, TSO Walmart special edition, and The Three Tenors. Finally, he got me the original Miracle on 34th Street on DVD. My three children went together and bought me a new 7mp digital camera for Christmas along with a 2gb memory card :D I have been using it since and it really makes a difference in the photos !
Some wonderful squee mail from the Crafty Witches, starting with![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)

And of course, there was the package fromhp5freak which contained floo powder, crayons, Hufflepuff wristwarmers and a lovely crocheted snowflake as well as a surprise from quietish in the form of rum balls and beautiful yarn and the cutest ornament photo of one of her hobbits! Once again, lezlishae proved herself Queen of Spellotape (electrical/duct tape) with a Hufflepuff Christmas Card!! While made golden snitch ornaments that she sent with little koala and Aussie calender.

SQUUUUUUUUUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE Yet Again !!
Jan. 14th, 2007 01:23 pmYesterday was a complete squee day. The icy weather held off and I was able to drive to Fort Smith to meet up with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
quietish and Kelly of Fangirlish podcasts for some time together. This is not something that happens often because I am the halfway point between these two over a distance of about 600 miles. But they had a surprise for me and treated me to the movie Eragon and dinner at Bravo's -- a wonderful Italian restaurant on Rogers Avenue! Good traditional style Italian cooking, great service and atmosphere.
Having read the book and heard from others, I think it helped quite a bit that I did not go in expecting the movie to follow the book. They did change things. However, on it's own, as just a dragon saga, it was very good. Great flight scenes and Sapphira as a baby dragon was awesome!
Kelly andquietish ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
