The best thing for Teen Pregnancy since Jamie Lynn Spears
February 9th, 2008
Oh, my word, you must go see Juno! It made me weep into The Husband’s sleeve. It made me cackle with the deliciousness of the amazingly dimensional characters. Every actor was beautifully cast, and the whole thing was so sweet that it made my ovaries ache. To sum up: Me like Movie. You go see too.
Oh and I stole The Husbands ticket, because I am too dumb to work the credit card ticket dealie. I confessed to the twelve year old behind the counter and he was all like “um. So, ah, why are you like telling me?” Whatever happened to looking out for your company? Actually I worked at that theater when I was seventeen. They made me wear orthopedic shoes, a polyester visor, a plastic bow tie, and a plastic apron with an anthropomorphic cat on it. Also, I had to provide my own flashlight and spackle knife. Why would a movie usher need her own spackle knife you ask? Why to scrape the gum off the floor of course. The worst part was picking up the little paper cups that we gave away for people to get water. Never were they full of water, oh no they had warm spittle from people who dipped. Yuck. I just threw up a little in my mouth thinking about it. Did I mention that I was paid minimum wage?
I think I deserved that free ticket after all.

Aww, I loved Juno, I encouraged all my older kids to see it, which will probably start the hey one day I will get fired trend once again. I thought about you after watching it, in that I thought you would have liked it too, and it made me miss the days when we used to cram in your little blue car drive to the theater and watch some sappy movie.
I miss having friends.
I miss you too.
ShoeShe misses movies too…and riding with the top down in that um…thing Hey You called a car…listening to oldies.
Little blue is surely a car. And all three of us would not fit in him, so ShoeShe, I will strap you to the hood. He now lives in the In-Laws barn. With Owls. And mice maybe. One day he will have a new engine.
Cat: you do have friends, we just are in another state. I hear you were in town(ish) and did not visit. Me sad
You’re not going to make poor TheSon drive Old Blue, are you? That wouldn’t be very nice.
The girl obviously has no appreciation for classics. That car is a future collectors item, and when renovated will be a very novel mode of transportation for anyone to drive. Of course this is spoken by the owner of five cars, two of which have antique tags, and another only 3 years away from qualifying!
Yeah…Well, at one point I thought my Beanie Baby collection was going to be a collector’s item too…now they’re just old pieces of crap! They’re worth WAY less than I/my mom paid for them. Not to say that Old Blue is a piece of crap, but if the shoe fits…wear it.
Little blue is not at all like your beanie babies…and really ? you collected Beanie Babies? That will go in my file of stories about you in between hopping tigger and Dr. Notrealnamewig holding your panties.
At first I only collected the Beanie Babies with personal significance (the soccer bear, the Christmas ones, the Jerry Garcia bear, the dachshunds, the scottie dogs, the sea otters, the dolphins, the graduation owl, etc.), but then people started buying them for me, because they thought I collected them. Now all 271 of them (some mine, some MyBro’s) are in those pop-up laundry hampers in a closet. If you know anyone who would like to buy them, let me now. However, I find that they are likely as valuable as Old (Little?) Blue at this point.
And really…I thought “Cat and Me in the Wedding Cake” was a much better story than “Crouching Tigger, Hopping ShoeShe.” Though I did enjoy “Puck’s Panties.” Hmmm…I also quite liked “ShoeShe the Shirtless Visits St. Louis.”
ShoeShe, perhaps the MFIL has room in the barn beside Lil’ Blue for your BB’s! Who knows what 20 years will do for their value. However, I wouldn’t get my hopes up if I were you.
No kidding…I saw some BBs on eBay for $1 each. That sort of makes the $5-ish spent on each one seem silly, huh?
