Free Shoes and Movie Reviews

 I was talking to a co worker when I got a call from my sons school. I was instantly terrified. It can NEVER be something good when the school calls.

I have it set up to say "stupid school calling" on my caller ID and it always makes me want to r un away from the phone.

But i picked it up, knowing I was gonna hear something bad.

She proceeded to say she was calling about Jacob. At that moment I was sure he had fallen and broken, cracked, snapped, bruised, or injured SOMETHING and I was going to have to go pick him up. Or have Baboo pick him up since he’s at home.

She must have heard the dread in my voice because she said, "Oh don’t worry, it’s for something good!"

My co worker bust out laughing at the obvious relief all over my face as she told me that Jacob had been put into a raffle for free shoes and he had won! She went on to say that she usually keeps a slot open for siblings, and since he has one (jonathon) then he gets some free shoes too!

WAHOO!

I was just going to have to go buy shoes this upcoming weekend and now I don’t have to!

Can I get a WOOT WOOT!!!

I truly get blessed at the most amazing times.

Personally, I know my children just look raggedy and sad and they "win raffles" (aka get given free stuff cuz they look pitiful) all the time. I am by no means Ms. Richy Rich, so I take it when it comes! Thanks school!

Now, on to the movies Baboo and I watched over this weekend.

1. Surrogates: I like and disliked this movie. I thought it had an interesting premise and a good look… but something about the ending bugged me and I don’t know why. I wouldn’t buy the dvd, but netflixing it won’t hurt anyone. I give it 6 out of 10.

2.Angels and Demons: We were gonna watch Gamer, but the download that Baboo got didn’t have any SOUND. I was very sad about this. I was a bit distracted while watching Angels and Demons. I was drinking and it was like "wahtever is whatever" and I watched about 90% of it and zoned out on Facebook for the other 10… so my review isn’t that great. I do say that the twist at the end was nice, and I’d give it 7 out of 10.

3. Drag me to Hell: Ummm… what to say about this movie. It started out with promise and quickly spiraled into madness. it had some entertaining moments of gore and weirdness, but otherwise it was just pretty lame and when it was over I was just like "really?!"

bah!!! 4 out  of 10. Wait till it comes on cable.

4. Burn after Reading: I really wanted to like this movie, but it was so excruciatingly SLOW that the few moments of goodness (mainly the scenes with Brad Pitt, who was hilaaaaarious) were quickly engulfed by boredom and confusion. And the moment where it seemed to climax (I won’t talk about it cuz you might not have seen it, and it took me by UTTER SURPRISE and it should do the same for you, and it won’t if I tell you) made me pay a little more attention, but when it was over I was like "riiiiiiight" and I sorta wanted to rewind time and decide to NOT watch it anymore. I’ll give it 5 out of 10, just for Brad Pitt being freakin awesome.

Yep, that’s my movie reviews.

eat them.

lick t hem.

love them.

Meanwhile, I’m having a hard time getting into my "work groove"… I keep forgetting what in the heck I’m supposed to be doing! bah!

Ugh. Now my stomach hurts. I got a call from some collections agency regarding assfacefromhells car. You know, the douche who has been out of contact for over 4 years who I’m trying to divorce so I can move on with my life. The lady just left a muffled weird message, and I’m not calling back. Let them take me to court. It will actually feel GOOD to get in front of a judge and plead my damn case. I bet a judge would have mercy on me!

it’s looking more and more like I’ll have to file bankruptcy to just be out from under all this.

I don’t really want to lose the car I’m currently paying for, but everything I’ve read about bankruptcy says that you lose everything, even things you are currently paying for.

I don’t know what to do.

i really hope I don’t have to hire yet ANOTHER lawyer.

ugh.

it makes my head hurt.

a lot.

i need a spicy chicken bowl.
