Where did June go?

OK, which one of you tore extra days off of my calendar so that I would think it was July already? LOL! How is it that the month of May and the first two weeks of June felt like they were never ending, but now time is going so quickly. It's just not fair!

We saw Eclipse on Wednesday and it was wonderful. Each one of these movies is better than the one before it, but none of them are as good as the books. My friend Natalie even ditched her in-laws that are visiting from England for the day so that she could have a girls day at the movies with us. LOL!

After the movie we had lunch at our usual place---The Cheesecake Factory. Have I told you that I love The Cheesecake Factory? LOL! And yes, I also had my usual leftover cheesecake breakfast on Thursday.

I'm excited about the weekend! I just love the Fourth of July and the fireworks! We'll be cooking out on Sunday and that's always fun.

My "what if" guy is coming into town tomorrow for the long weekend and that should be very interesting. I'll let you know what happens when Orange Croc Guy meets What If Guy. LOL!

Right now I'm going to get some sleep so that I can get up early and get some errands run. Enjoy your day!

There's a war going on in my house!

Download wordart here

For the past couple of days there has been a war going on in my house between Orange Croc Guy and myself. It all started when he had the nerve to beat my high score on the table tennis return challenge on the wii sports resort. It's my house....I'm supposed to have the high score! LOL!

After he left, I got busy getting my high score back. The problem with that was the harder I tried to beat his score the worse I played. LOL! Well, to make a long story short, after several hours, a very sore arm and a thirst for revenge I reclaimed my #1 status.

I decided to pay him back by going into his home while he was out and taking over the high score on some of his games. I make myself the proud owner of the #1 spot on eight of his wii games. LOL!

I told him what I did, but I didn't let him know which games or how many. He's found two of them and reclaimed his spot. The other six are still mine! LOL!

He warned me that when I least expect payback...I should expect it. He doesn't scare me. LOL!

Well, today the war went to a whole other level when I convinced him to watch a movie with me. Of course, the movie I wanted to watch was August Rush because you guys said it was good and I could drool over JRM while watching.



Well, here's how the conversation at the beginning of the movie went....

Orange Croc Guy: Is this a chick flic?
Me: No, you're going to love it.
OCG: That's the guy from...
Me: (cutting him off) No, it's not.
OCG: Why are we watching this?
Me: My blog readers said we needed to.
OCG: Really? We...they said we...you and I...need to watch this movie.
Me: (hoping he'll be quiet and watch) Well, they know how much you mean to me.
OCG: Do they know you call me Orange Croc Guy?
Me: Of course, if I used your real name no one would know who I was talking about.
OCG: Do they know that my mother bought those shoes because she saw them on TV and thought they were cool or that you only saw me in them one time as I was coming in from the pool and that they've been hidden away since I found out you called me OCG?
Me: (note to self: use emergency key, find orange crocs) (Said while laughing) No, but that whole letting your mother dress you thing is a story I'll be sure to share with them.
OCG: (said while hitting me with a pillow) I need to find new friends.
Me: Yeah, good luck with that. Now be quiet or I'm turning up the volume on the TV.

The movie was watched, JRM looked hot, hot, hot and even OCG had to admit it was good.

I have to tell you that I loved all the comments on my post about the end of The Tudors! Shirley's comment was just begging to be turned into a wordart, so here it is....
