sunday.

Went to see 'Blood Diamond' today. Awesome movie. Almost as intense as 'Saving Private Ryan', but with a happier ending. I thought Leonardo DiCaprio's accent might bother me, but as the movie went on, I barely noticed. My butt was clenched so tight during the whole movie, I thought I could have squeezed a diamond out myself. It was more violent than I expected and the thought that this shit actually went on (and may still be going on) in Africa made me want to cry. I felt like ripping off my diamond necklace and throwing it in the garbage. Very educational movie, to say the least. And Jennifer Connelly is so gorgeous, I still may vomit.

Amy and Lulu arrived today, fresh from a 2 day trek from Austin, TX. I went to see them at her sister's house. Let me just say, I have never felt more loved. Lulu and Madison (Jaime's daughter) showered me with hugs and kisses, saying they loved me, missed me and sat on my lap to tell me where they were sleeping tonight (on an air matress, which Jamie's husband was having a helluva time blowing up) and that their socks were stinky. I loved it. My family would be proud, since kids normally freak me out. But, damn, I love that Lulu so much, I just can't help it. And today is her 4th birthday-Happy Birthday, Lu-maybe now you can wipe your own butt!

Nothing more exciting going on. I did manage to finish most of my cookie baking. Still knitting my ass of to meet the order deadlines. I guess I'll be buying christmas gifts on the 24th. Shame on me, but hell-I've had alot of crap going on and by the New Year, I can start anew.
