Six Degrees of Rock 'Em Sock 'Em

This weekend was great, I got to spend a lot of time with Audre and had a total blast. We went to the Cheesecake Factory and ordered two appetizers, two lunch sized salads, and 2 slices of cheesecake for dessert. It was sooooo good. We actually brought the cheesecake back and ate it while we watched movies. We rented, "Southland Tales" and "I Am Legend". I was not too muxh into Southland Tales since it really made no sense and seemed to only serve the purpose of making my "Six Degrees of Sarah Michelle Gellar" game easier. "I Am Legend" though was awesome! I thought it was done really well and it made a really great point. I am really starting to repect Will Smith as an actor. I was disappointed with the way that the vampire people looked though--too computer generated. I like when there is that eerie look of human still. I think when they look more human like it makes your emotions go all crazy--I love that--like you can see a shell of what they once were.

After the movies we ordered some pizza and watched old episodes of this season's Project Runway. Audre spent the night but left really early in the morning so I didn't get to make us bacon & eggs (which is probablly good because right now just the thought of them makes me feel all sick inside).

Yesterday, Stan's car died so he jumped it and drove it down to Bethesda to exchange cars with his dad and I stayed at home working on my Grandma's album. I did some really cool layouts but some may have to be revised, I think after a while I got bored and just did anything I wanted. The computer program I bought for scrapbooking is really nice though. Its cool to design something and then to completely change it later. Also if I go too far all I have to do is edit-undo and I am saved! It was nice to just lay around the house all day and not really have to do anything or be anywhere espeically since next weekend is the party for my Grandparents.

This week should be realtively easy going since most of my work is already completed and I have some days off. I am just taking it all in and trying to get all the sleep I can because when we actually do have a baby I doubt I will ever sleep again--well at least not for a good year or so!

I am totally frightened of my mom & this party. We all know my mom has a tendancy to go too far with things which always makes them the most memorable events ever, but when she has any kind of emotion behind them--LOOKOUT! She becomes a mess, calling people up and giving lists over the phone, renting things that don't make anything easier for anyone, and pushing people until their breaking point. I think it is best to remember though that she is doing this because she cares and she means well. I try to remember that inside it all is still that kid trying to prove herself to her self involved parents. I feel bad for her and I know how much she wants this to be perfect for my Grandmother. I think it's my mom's way of saying goodbye to her. Most of everything is coming together and I think by the middle of this week I should have everything on my list assembled and ready to go.

We will have to leave our place on Saturday no later than 9 am to get there by 12 to help set up which I think is fair because we will still be sleeping in and since Stan will have to do all the lifting my plan is to help out by doing all the driving (most likely will be for the best anyway I already get really car sick when other people are driving me around in the mountains).

Hopefully Sunday will be a more laid back day and I won't have to be so worried about using all of my energy up on the weekend and having nothing left for the week. I am planning on just cleaning up the house a little and resting. Maybe we will do something with Stan's parents like dinner or something.
