This past weekend was good to me. Lately I had been feeling uber stressed over work related things and it was sort of taking me over. I was in this “thing” where I was seeing the shitty side to everything. It was pathetic. I was stressed out and that obviously made me feel like crap so I was all down and then I started finding all these things that were “shitty” and it was just so stupid. I was in a funk. You know what that’s like, everyone gets that way some times. Well anyway, Kara (Preston’s sister) came over this weekend so Preston and I were able to get away from work and we just all sat around and laughed our asses off. Then I realized that I haven’t laughed that hard in a quite a while. Sure I laugh about things every day but I’m talking about that laughing so hard that you start to cry and your stomach hurts. So, thanks Kara for helping me out of my funk. :cute:

I saw two movies this weekend. Friday we saw The Black Dahlia. I personally did not like this movie. I don’t understand why, in movies like this, they have to be so graphic. There is a scene where this guy falls off of this huge winding staircase, head first, and lands on this fountain at the bottom that has this huge pointy top. They actually show the guys head smashing into the top of this pointy fountain. Seriously… why??? I really do not understand why movies are made this way now. It used to be that you would see some blood splatter on the ground after you see the guy heading toward the fountain, so you got the picture that he probably hit the fountain, but now they just show the guy as if this was real and you are standing there watching it. I think it’s horrible and unnecessary. Movies like that just distract me and all I can think about while watching it is why on earth do they have to show every last disgusting detail? I honestly believe it desensitizes people. Not just movies but video games and especially the news.

Then Saturday we saw The Gridiron Gang which I loved. This is what movies should be about. I remember when I was in Cosmetology we had to go cut hair at the juvenile detention center and it was always so depressing. I always wonder what happened to these kids, what went wrong to make them act the way they do. And sometimes I wonder what happened to them after they got out. It’s just so sad, I wish I could so something to help kids like that but I get so attached to people that I think it would be very hard to do. It was somewhat scary to go there also. The boys would be in these cells, like on this movie, and they would stand at the window and yell things and pound on the glass and they would come out one by one and get their hair cut. It’s amazing they sent female cosmetology students there to cut their hair. Anyway this movie was extremely good so I recommend it.

Well I am craving an ice cold Coke so I think I’m off to go get one.

Oh by the way… I’ll be testing on Friday to see if we got pregnant this time. Cross your fingers for me!
