Sexless and the City

Brian and I had gone to see Sex and the City last week without any protest from him since we were seeing a "chick-flick". Our house was upside down due to the work on the staircase and the floors (which is now compelte I may happily add). The kids were staying with my parents so we decided to go out to the movies - something we hadn't done in ages. Lo and behold, there we are, enjoying the movie, our popcorn and the fact that it was a week night so I wasn't too crowded when all of a sudden, the fire alarm goes off! The screen goes black, the lights came on and the voice of God was telling us to please evacuate the theater using the doors to the far left. 20 minutes later there we were, watching fire trucks enter the theater as we stood there helpless. Needless to say, I along with every other woman who was enjoying the film with me was pissed!!

I can report thought that it was really great - at least what I saw of it. I would say that we were two-thirds into it when disaster struck. So we are going to be compensated with two tickets to any movie we want to see. Brian has already decided that we are seeing the Hulk. How could I say no to that?

Men At Work

Long time no post! We recently learned that Brandon is allergic to cats, dogs and dustmites. We gave our cat to my sister Dana who welcomed Emmy with open arms. Now she has 3 cats - no "single women with cats" jokes please! We also decided to have the carpets in the bedrooms and stairs removed. So our house is under construction at present (or to quote Brandon, "our house is broken") with several men who are led by a great guy named John who are all working dilligently to get the job done. Access to my computer has been difficult to say the least. They are telling us to that the project should be done by Wednesday at the latest. Wish me luck!

Good Intentions

Today was the day I had planned to do all the little household chores either I had put off or that Brian allegedly done but I have to re-do anyway. Brian had planned to start one of his weekend warrior projects. However, neither of us accomplished much today. Annie participated in a parade for her school down one of the main streets in our town- she plays in their drumline. The kids were really terrific. We grabbed some food afterwards at Red Lobster and that was all she wrote! I have been lounging around the house ever since. I even managed to take a nap for about two or so hours uninterrupted. Brian took the kids out to the park - all by himself! They had a great time. I can always tell by their exhaustion levels. Brandon and Eric were out like a light when they got home and Annie went straight to her room and fell alseep about 10 minutes later. Normally, I would have started a chore but I took a page out of Brian's book and called it a day. I must say, this feels good...really good.
