Watch out Texas!!!
I have known Teri now for 27 years. That is a long time. Besides my family, no one has known me as long. We grew up next door to each other and have been involved in countless amounts of ridiculous behavior. We probably had at least 100 sleepovers, played Clue or Follow the Judge that many times as well. We have watched Girls Just Want to Have Fun so many times that I can still quote along without any trouble. We developed a written language so complex that I guarantee you if archeolgists found it in 2000 years, they would never, I mean NEVER be able to crack it. We have had good times, really good times in our lives. We survived Elementary, Jr. High and High School right by each others side (and she pulled my grades though as well!).
The reason for so much reminiscing of my fellow band geek and life long friend, is that her family is moving out of Utah in the morning, and I had to tell her goodbye yesterday. The good news is they are moving to Dallas, and I will now get to go back to visit and stay with them! I had high hopes of turning her daughters into the sort of trouble makers that we once were - but after Saturday, realize that my services may be unnecessary!!! :)
I love you guys and hope everything goes great for you in the Lone Star State. Let me know how the adventure filled trek goes and if any kids/pets don't make it!
GOOD LUCK!

she's kicking ass....that's what she's doing!
I had a great movie weekend this weekend, which is good, because I started my movie fest with Brick on Thursday night, and was not as pleased as I had hoped to be. It made me feel like I was in fact too old for high school movies with the simple fact that I couldn't understand the dialogue. It was like watching Shakespeare when you are 10, and you can't figure out what they are talking about. Okay, it may not have been that bad, but we had to turn on the subtitles and still were pretty confused. Perhaps I didn't learn enough "street lingo" growing up in Bountiful, Utah.
Friday night I watch Little Miss Sunshine and loved every minute of it. I cannot remember laughing that loudly in a theatre ever before. I am talking shameless, and uncontrolable laughing, and not caring who heard it or who it disturbed. While I watched it, I wanted to dislike it for being so horrible to it's characters. After all, that is the same thing I complained about after suffering through Napolean Dynamite. These people were just so redeemable, that I couldn't help myself. Next on the weekend movie list was League of Ordinary Gentlemen. This is a documentary about the Pro Bowling Tour, and the people behind the marketing of getting an audience interested in pro bowling. I know, it sounds like a potential snooze fest...but I can assure you it wasn't. I love documentary's like this....the best ever was American Movie. Although this was was not as painful to watch because you are so embarassed for them...there is actually only one person in this that you feel really bad for and have to cover your eyes when they are telling their story.
