I watched another Stephen Dorff movie this weekend! :)
I guess I'm going to look up all his movies and watch them!

This one is about a normal guy, with a fiance and a son.
He owns his own business, he's just working to support his family.
A good guy. A hot guy.

One night he wakes up and hears someone in his house. He chases the guy outside, telling him to stop. The guy reaches into his pocket and starts to turn and Wade (hottie Stephen Dorff) whacks him with a baseball bat. :(

The guy dies and Wade is sent to prison for involuntary manslaughter.
So, now this regular joe has to adapt to prison life.
It's so sad.



Added bonus....Val Kilmer!
Ahhh yeah.

Pretty good movie.

If you haven't seen it....check it out, yo!

Fill in the blank Frrrriiiidayyyyy!!!

Link up and play along! :)

1. If I could get away somewhere for the weekend I would go:
to a cabin in the woods far, far, far away from everyone and everything.
and I would bring:
some books....that's it. Have you ever just wanted to get away from everyone and everything?? That's how I'm feeling lately.

2. Something I often rant about is:
My step mother. Ask Marianne, my co workers, my sister, my mother...yes, I rant about her often.
Really only when she does something unbelievable...well, not unbelievable for her, but for normal humans.
Which is surprisingly often. Sadly.

3. One item I need to have in my fridge at all time is:
Dr Pepper. I gotta have my DP!!

4. My "life-saving" product is:
Xanax. I'm so not kidding. Panic attacks suck.

5. A friend is someone who:
listens, without always feeling like they have to give a solution. Sometimes you just want to talk without someone trying to solve your problems.

6. If I could write my own blank it would be:
What's your favorite blog? I like finding new and interesting blogs to read! :)

7. My favorite kind of art is:
photography. I love photos, especially black and white.

Somewhere...

Have I ever mentioned my crush on Stephen Dorff?


I know I have a million celebrity crushes, so I may not have mentioned him before....
but yeah.....I have a HUGE crush on him.

Hellloooo, Hottie!

There's this movie I had been wanting to see, with Stephen Dorff.

It's called "Somewhere". I finally watched it last night. I guess I was a little disappointed, because it wasn't as good as the previews made it out to be.
But...that happens a lot.

And I can't really complain....because, uh....hello, it was Stephen Dorff. And he's hot!!

So, yeah.....I'd watch it again. Just to look at him.

yum.

He was actually in one of my favorite movies when I was little (and he was little...we're so meant to be together).

It was called "The Gate".
It was like a kid's scary movie. Gage loved it too when he was little.
I love passing on my favorite movies to my kids! :)

What's Goin' On?

Friday:
We went to the viewing.
I thought Zac would be uncomfortable and maybe a little scared.
Nope.
He went straight to my PawPaw and stared at him. I swear like three different times I looked over and he was just standing there, staring.
OMG, how embarrassing for me! I was like...seriously, Zac??
But I guess I can understand, he was curious. We haven't had someone close in our family pass away since he's been alive. It was something he had never experienced before.

weirdo.


Saturday:
We went to the funeral. It was a good service.
Later that night, me and Leah met up with a few of our cousins.
Bryan and Lauren, Lyle, and Jay. We met up at Parkway (a bar and grill) to have a few drinks and catch up. I get to see Bryan and Lauren often enough, but I can't remember the last time I saw Lyle and Jay.
It was nice to drink and laugh and talk about old times.
Isn't it sad that it takes a funeral to bring family together.
We promised to all meet up sometime this summer for a cook out or something....and I hope we do.

Oh, did I mention that Friday night when I got home from the viewing, I was just chillin'...watching Law and Order SVU and playing solitaire on my computer, when I felt something on my shoulder...so I brushed it off...thinking it was a stupid June bug or something...nope, it was a freaking scorpion...on MY shoulder!!!!

UGH!

Needless to say I have been shaking out every piece of clothing that I put on. Inspecting bedding before laying down, watching every step I take.

So, Sunday I cleaning house really good and Leah came over to help me spray really good!

It's Wednesday and I haven't seen anymore......
I hate scorpions!!!!
Yep....so that's what's been going on with me.
Whaddup with you? :)

I'm ready for the weekend. I want to see "Bridesmaids" soooo bad!! Hopefully I can see it sometime this weekend. :)

Rest in Peace, Paw Paw Riley.

As some of you may know, My PawPaw died this past Wednesday.
A couple weeks ago, he had hip surgery. While he was in a rehab facility, he was not taken care of properly.
He was admitted into the hospital Tuesday for being dehydrated, impacted, kidney failure, bed sores.
I left work early with a lot on my mind. My pawpaw, along with a lot of other stuff that's going on.
Of course, I went to my sister's, because that's were I go when I'm upset, can't stop crying, and need to talk. We decided to go eat something to eat. On our way to Casa Manana, my mom called and said that my pawpaw had passed away.
We went to my grandma's house, where the family all met up.
My pawpaw has been immobile since February, so my grandma has had to do everything for him.
Of course, she had to let her household duties go, so the place was pretty bad.
Me and my sister's stayed and cleaned house for her, since a lot of family is coming in town.
We finished up today.
Tonight is the viewing, tomorrow is the funeral.
My pawpaw lived a full life and while I am sad, I know he is in a better place. He was in constant pain and unable to take care of himself.
We all know where he went, for he was an awesome man.

Funny story for ya.
Wednesday evening, the Reverend came to talk with the family about the funeral service and whatnot.
My mom, grandma, etc. were calling him Brother Bateman.
Me and Leah were in the kitchen cleaning and Lucia came running in there and said,"Mom! That guy in there..his first name is Brother!"
hahaha. You gotta love kids. :)

So, that's why I've been MIA lately.
Please keep my grandma, mom and her siblings, and the rest of my family in your prayers.
