• I follow Disney Memories on Twitter and get so much enjoyment out of it.  All it is is quotes from different Disney movies.  Today’s I particularly loved, “One shoe can change your life”, Cinderella.  Found that very appropriate for NYC Fashion Week.  

  Haven’t been feeling good.  And then yesterday the barfing and diarrhea started.  Oh joy.  But I’m getting a system down.  I keep a handful of kleenexes on the counter to grab and wipe my mouth with, along with a scrunchy to hold my hair back.  I know barfing is imminent when I start burping loudly.  Then I go running to the bathroom, do the deed, and come out to find that one of the boys have left me a glass of cold water on the counter.  Barfing sucks, but it sort of got amusing yesterday.  The cats love to sit on the counter and watch me.  Maybe they are sympathizing thinking I’m yaking up furballs.  Buk barks at me while I’m barfing.  

  New bathroom rule-no one allowed in the bathroom with me unless they have thumbs to help hold back my hair (hence, the scrunchy).

  I’m trying not to get freaked out about how I will feel on Saturday.  That’s when I see “War Horse”, “Moneyball”, “Tree of Life”, and “The Descendants”.  Somehow I’ll just deal with it.  Have put myself on the BRAT diet (bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast) and Gatorade.  I’m trying to look at the upside-maybe in a week I’ll be able to fit in my skinny jeans again.  I’ve already decided which sweats and shirt I’ll wear.  Wish to goodness I had the guts to show up in flannel jammies-saw someone do that last year.  I’ve picked out which small blanket I’ll take and have decided to take one of the couch pillows with me.  For as long as you are in the theater, you just make yourself as comfortable as possible.  What’s really nice is that it never sells out.  You hope that no one will sit next to you so you can put the armrest up-then its like being on my couch at home watching movies.  So darned excited!

  Am almost done with the 3rd book in the “Dragon Tattoo series.  Really enjoying it so much!  Rooney Mara and Daniel Craig have both signed on to do the next two movies.  However, the director has another project he’s working on when they want to start filming.  The films will definitely have a different feel to them if they bring in another director.  What do I have to do?  Go to Hollywood and take a meeting with this guy??

  Movie fact.  The Hungarian government has decided not to go after Brad Pitt for “attempting to smuggle guns” into Budapest during the filming of “World War Z”.  The whole thing was so stupid!  Depending on many guns they need for a filming of a particular movie, sometimes real ones are cheaper to use.  The first (and maybe last movie-I’m not sure) to use real guns was “Lord of War” with Nicholas Cage.  He is an arms dealer and there would be huge mountains of guns he was selling.  Excellent movie with the most amazing opening sequence I’ve ever seen.

  Matt’s girlfriend had her 2nd sonagram yesterday-so cool to see the pictures and see those tiny little baby hands and fingers.  Next week we find out the sex of the baby.  To me, I don’t care what sex the baby is, as long as it is healthy.  The GF has her heart set on a girl and, so far, her name will be Genevive.  I just want to know the sex so everyone stops referring to the baby as “it”.  That bothers me-that’s a baby in there, not an “it”.

  I’m starting to burp again.  Don’t know how much longer my toast and Gatorade will be with me.  Want to come over and hold my hair back for me?
