1. Saw the new movie 'Australia' with some lady friends, and the best part was the gratuitous shot of Hugh Jackman topless by the fire, pouring a large bucket of soapy water over his head and rubbing the bubbles into his rippling muscles by fire light. The only thing that would have made the scene better, would have been if it was Warren doing that ;-) I love you honey - Hugh Jackman's got 'nuttin on you!
2. Speaking of movies, is anyone else as excited about the new Terminator movie as I am? Christian Bale as John Connor in the future during the War with the Machines...hello?? This one is SO going to kick-ass.
3. You'd think living is Calgary all my life would make me used to the fact that it can go from -16 to +6 in less that 24 hours. But no.
4. The other day I was watching Erin's video of Anderson learning to say the word 'chair' over and over again. Warren could hear the video from the other side of the room, and when it was done the conversation went like this:
Warren: I sure hope we can have more intellectual conversations than that with our children.
Amanda: Umm...I don't think that's possible before they can talk.
Warren: What?!!
Amanda: Yah, they don't come out reading War & Peace and Allan Greenspan you know.
Warren: What?!!
So thank-you Erin, for giving my husband a dose of reality ;-)
**After reading this, Warren was worried that Erin would be insulted by his comments, so he wanted me to make it very clear that the conversation was in JEST and he was completely joking. I figured this was pretty obvious, but Warren is very sentitive to these things.**
5. I turn 29 this January, which has me thinking about what I want to do for my 30th. I want to do something fun memorable. When Warren turned 30 (before I knew him) he had a week long 'Warren-palooza'. Since so many of our friends are well into their 30s, I worry my 30th will just fall to wayside, because 30 is old news now. In the comments, tell me what you did for your 30th!

Funny that the scene I remember the most from the movie is the shirtless, soapy water pouring scene, too!
For my 30th, Nick planned some great surprises. He told me we were going hiking (sooooo not what I wanted to do), and then the doorbell rang it was my sister! My sister with a car and driver parked outside that drove us to the spa for all day treatments. Then we headed over to my in-laws place where I thought we were having dinner...only to be surprised again by my parents and grandparents who were sitting in their living room! Then we all went for a great Italian dinner, and afterwards, my family gave me my present -- a bright red Kitchenaid mixer...something I had wanted for a looonng time. Great birthday, all orchestrated by Nicholas!
Wow! Keri's story was really great. Mine was not that interesting.
I say plan it how you want it to be, don't wait for someone else to do it for you. No one will deny you your 30th! I'm in for some celebrating.
Oh, something else just occured to me. I too will be celbrating a big birthday in 2010. Let's take a month off and go to Hawaii!!! Or Greece!!!!! Or....
I have two things to say regarding your upcoming birthday:
1) You're turning 29....this is the last year you can blame doing silly things on "being in my 20's". That was the year I dyed my hair pink. I suggest you get a tattoo of something incredibly tacky like a heart with a dagger piercing it and blood dripping down....and get it on your chest....Warren will LOVE that!
2) Planning your 30th. David and I did a reverse surprise and took a bunch of my friends up to Banff for a weekend getaway and some skiing. It was great fun and I highly recommend the mixing of hot tubs and alcohol. ;-)
My turning 30 story is quite depressing, so I'll fill you in personally.
Which leaves me wondering why I felt a need to comment at all. : )
OMG. The "word verification" was MIDOL.
That's fabulous.
No 30th birthday is worse than wearing a really nice new Old Navy shirt out, having a stripper tear it to shreds with her teeth, and sitting, drunk in a now ruined t-shirt, for the rest of the night.
I don't recommend this.
