holy dilemma, batman

so which movie do i make my husband take me too? i really want to see them both. i hate it when weekends have two movies opening that i HAVE TO SEE. it's like trying to pick your favorite child. we know mom...it's Nicole. i actually have seen the Swedish film version of LET ME IN which is called LET THE RIGHT ONE IN. see, i can totally pull off the film snob know it all. you may all bow to me now.

heaven help me...I WANT TO BE A PUPPY MOMMY!

time to revisit

BIZKIT THE SLEEPWALKING DOG

IT KILLS ME EVERY TIME...EVERY TIME.

because...

it's the dancer in me that just can't get enough of it!

happy birthday mommy

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDMA! WE WILL BE WORKING ON SOME PUPPIES FOR YOU TONIGHT! ROXY HAS FOUND A NEW STUD (FINGERS CROSSED)...LOVE YOUR GRANDCHILDREN

knackered, prat, trousers, and bangers and mash

i always find myself, while i am watching BBC AMERICA, hoping for some British commercials. is that strange? every time one of my BBC shows goes to commercial, a part of me goes, hey marci there is totally going to be a British commercial this time. alas...i am always let down. the picture above is from the show BEING HUMAN (love it).

for some reason or another they aren't playing this show right now but, it is another BBC fav, SKINS. this show is truly how i picture real teenage life to be (unlike the whole ABC family-pregnant teenager show). oh, i love you BBC AMERICA. you help me escape to England from time to time. TA RA!

am so craving a haircut right now

a little FYI

roxy is becoming a woman today. she is no longer "our little girl". here's to hoping for PUPPIES!

movie tawk

i saw EASY A on Saturday afternoon with my friends. really, super, duper, funny stuff. i also think that Emma Stone is quickly becoming one of my favorite comedy actresses. she was good in THE HOUSE BUNNY and ZOMBIELAND too. if you don't like sex talk, don't see the movie.

the husband and i saw THE AMERICAN on opening weekend. so. slow. i. wanted. to. shoot. myself. to. put. myself. out. of. misery. they must have put every ounce of action into the previews because, there was a nuthin'. seriously. i was, at one point, closing one eye and seeing which lights (that light up the staircases in the theatre) were out of line. then i was pondering, how did that light get out of line?

the husband and i saw this one on Friday night. we were very impressed. high action. a little romance. some drama. and the language is just like GOOD WILL HUNTING. so if you don't like F-bombs or violence-stay away.

first off, i know this movie came out forever ago, OK. i was just watching it the other day and it got me to thinking. THIS IS THE ONLY SCARY MOVIE THAT MAKES ME CRY. not because it is too scary but, because i feel bad for the characters at the end. THEY NEVER STOOD A CHANCE AND IT IS SO SAD! i really like this movie-to my family: JJ ABRAMS PRODUCTION.

state fair THE ART OF A LOSER

my cookies are the ones with the pink ribbon. also known as fourth place. my friends and i all used the exact same recipe but, did different things with the chocolate (wink, wink). i stuck one choc chip in each cookie. one. and i got fourth place? i named them "little nips". hey, at least it made my sister-in-law crack up with laughter.

my friend linzi got first (blue), my sis-in-law got second (red), and my sister nicole got third (white). same basic recipe, just slightly different versions. WE THINK WE ARE HILARIOUS. my husband thinks we are serious dorks.

the bread, that i actually did put work into, got a BIG FAT NUTHIN! but it wouldn't be the fair if i wasn't a LOSER in some way or another.

SOY UN PERDEDOR

a new season!

i can watch these over and over and over and still crack up! i can't wait for the new season.
if you don't have HBO...ssssooooorrrryyyy, but not really.




life is so much more enjoyable when there are tv shows that make me laugh like that.

the only performance worth watching

state fair THE RIDES

kylee was afraid to go on this ride. the girl who can't get enough of tower of terror. yes, her. after she rode it, she rode it again.
poor tessa was left to play in the dirt...
brenton had to ride the spinning music ride. all by himself. literally. no one else was on the ride.
all of us waiting for brenton to ride his music spinning ride. i think brady was the only one entertained by his cousin.

bumper cars. look at how brady put on his seat belt. around his neck. FOR BUMPER CARS. yes, i fixed it before the ride started.

one of the FEW RIDES WE LET TESSA GO ON. that poor poor child. all she got was dirt.

the spinning dragon ride. which none of them would spin. they were all scared. OF GETTING SICK!

we didn't go on the BIG YELLOW SLIDE this year but...

they got to go on this one as MANY TIMES AS THEY WANTED.

MTV fashionista's

lady gagAAAAAAAA, you never fail us
gurl, i love your songs. your outfits=blech

drake, that is a FINE looking suit

the facebook movie. yes, that is what i am calling it from here on out cause i don't care enough to call it by its real name. gonna see it too.

paramore lady, didn't anyone ever tell you that dying your hair with Kool Aid is a big mistake...HUGE! i have to go shopping now (movie reference)

who? what? why? where? how? huh? really?

HEY the slutty entertainment arrived! Partay city!

Pharrell you ROCK!

intended for my youngest sister

this commercial, for some reason or another, made me think of YOU! and the answer is YES YOU ARE GOING TO THE MOVIE WITH ME! who else am i gonna laugh at??

computers vs. books

brenton came home from the park the other night and had hurt himself. he then got it into his head that he wanted to figure out why tears are salty. here is how the convo went...

walt: you can look it up in an encyclopedia
me: we don't have one
brenton: i have a book about the body (it would not be in this book)
me: let's look it up on the internet on the computer
brenton: NO I WANT TO LOOK IN MY BOOK
me: the computer is so much faster and it has tons of info to find quickly. watch i will do it right now

brenton then walks into his room, ignoring me, looking in his body book

me: ok, i have it. up on my computer. it is a perfect kid version. just for you. only two paragraphs that explain it.
brenton: NO
me: come on

he then drags his feet with his shoulders slumped over and plops in front of my computer...with anger seething in his eyes. he sits there. i watch him. he reads it. he then stands up and starts shlumping back to his room, completely angry at me for MAKING HIM READ ON THE COMPUTER.

me: so can you tell me why tears are salty?
brenton: GO READ YOUR OWN COMPUTER.
me: can you tell dad why tears are salty?
brenton: (completely said with sarcasm) HE HAS HIS OWN COMPUTER DOESN'T HE? TELL HIM TO GO LOOK IT UP.

he is not a little sweet boy anymore.

if anything happens to that baby, i swear...

only for believers, skeptics need not apply

and the only reason i am a believer is because i have experiences to back it up. aliens are still WAY SCARIER.

me not so likee...emmy's

Anna, LOVE THE HAIR...hate the dress
Kate, no just NO

Kerri, i love you and i would even have loved the dress...if it actually fit you up on top.

COFFEE FILTER BOOBS

BOOBS TOO BIG FOR THE DRESS

as all my friends put it, " they covered her in glue and then threw glitter on her. then, they shook her and whatever stuck was what her dress was." kinda like a Martha Stewart Craft!

prom dresses gone WILD

Kim, for some reason i hated this outfit. i don't have a reason or explanation, i just don't like it.

dearest Heidi, you have four kids and are getting older...IT IS TIME TO COVER IT UP!

me likee...emmy's

is there a more beautiful couple than they? i think not. i know that Kathy gets ragged on alot by saying she dresses awful but, i thought that she actually looked good in that dress. and her mom is hilarious.
the only thing i would change about this dress is the slit. other than that, i would wear it in a second.

i dare anyone to say anything bad about this woman!

another woman who gets made fun of for every red carpet event. i thought she looked good this time around.

i tried to find a pic of her and John (love him). they were the other beautiful couple.

seriously...LOVE IT!

VAVAVOOM!
