friends, loves, and weird events

today was a day of well wishes and surprise visits and a day to truly appreciate all of the loves of my life....like za husband, friends, family, everyone.
thank you for the sweet emails,texts, or hugs...you know who you are and you should know i appreciate it.  my lovely friend barb visited me today out of the blue.  as if our conversation wasn't fun enough she added to the fun with a present which i love....

hello awesome owlie shirt!  it's adorable and i love what it says. 
barb....you are so funny!  i never grow tired of our conversations.  we hardly get a chance to talk so when we do it's like months worth of information crammed into a short amount of time....and it's always quality stuff.  this is barb by the way for those of you who don't know her...

other than that today was a day of weird events.  some of which i prefer not to discuss but a couple that i'd like to mention.  this evening za husband and i treated ourselves to dinner and a movie.  we drove to bullhead for this little date of ours.  while driving we hit a bird.  first time i can recall hitting a bird.  i've come close before but never actually done it.  i saw it coming, cringed, and yelped when i heard the loud thud.  then felt really bad for the birdie.  we were both a little sad about the experience because we like to pretend that animals are like they are in the movies.  like they have conversations and families and try to avoid tragic events....kinda like remy in ratatouille (which happens to be one of my favorite movies)

on to the next weird event...
we decided to see this scott pilgrim vs. the world movie.  didn't know a thing about it but we've seen a few other quality michael cera movies so thought it was worth a try.  we go to the theater inside the avi.  according to google the movie started at 7:30.  we bought our tickets right at that time.  when we got in the theater it seemed odd that the movie had already started because usually there are billions of previews, but whatever, we went with it.  after about 10 minutes we are both looking at each other totally lost and wondering why this movies is so insanely weird and not making sense at all.  after about 20 minutes i tell will we should leave and see about getting our money back.  we wait 10 more minutes out of sheer laziness and what do you know the end credits start rolling.  we are somewhat stunned because i know the time change isn't in effect yet, so either this is the shortest movie in history or we sat in the wrong theater or something.  either way i was glad for it to be over because it was not worth watching.  i'm even sad i wasted 30 minutes on it.  we ended up getting a refund and come to find out they've had recent troubles with their website not updating properly so they times have been off on a few movies lately.  glad to know we aren't losing our marbles. 
all of the weirdness was remedied with a quick trip to target.  that always does the trick!
