I love how Black & White makes pictures more interesting. Been a long day. I got so caught up in answering emails today that I stayed longer than I should've. lol It's the curse of liking your job, I guess. Sometimes I wonder if my personality's a little bizarre. I am reaching this unknown comfort level where I develop opinions on everything and am not afraid to look someone in the eye and tell them. Me, outspoken? No one ever saw that coming... lol So, it's been a while since I posed a question to everybody on here. If you could hang out with one friend from high school again, who would it be and why?

It's funny how people are their own worst critic. I can go through a dozen pictures of myself and only like one, and just barely at that. Maybe that's why I've been on DB a year and I'm about halfway to having enough pics. lol Anyway, How To Train Your Dragon is an excellent movie. It's been a long time since I've heard H say "That was a really good movie" on her own. We are going to watch it over and over again. I think the last time I've wanted to watch a kid's movie more than once was when Bolt came out. Can you blame me for being a kid at heart? I am going to leave you with a song tonight. It's been a while since I've posted a youtube link on here, but this one's been going through my head a lot lately. It's so pure and sincere. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHWQdjVMGU4&feature=related

Soccer's back in full swing! Not sure if I like having practice the evening before the game. Guess we'll see how things go tomorrow morning for the kids. We only have two practices after DST ends this year, so lighting won't be a terrible problem on a weeknight this time around. Then we have a birthday party with Mr. Clint from Texas Snakes http://texassnakes.net/ as the entertainment. I think that even though it's somebody else's birthday, I might just bring the camera. It's going to be very interesting seeing the kids reaction to the "friends" he brings with him. Mr. Clint visited the Preschool H went to and it was so funny how intially, she got scared, then after the visit, she thought they were so cool. Even though we've got an extra tank, I am fully prepared to stand my ground on getting one. We are down to the aquarium and the dog and that is enough for any kid, right? :) After the party, I have to take us out for my birthday (daughter's orders). "Wednesday was too much like a normal day." She is so considerate! Sunday is looking like a good day to sleep in, but we're gonna have to fit in watching "Dragon" somewhere. It's getting really good reviews. Has anyone seen it yet?
