Juno~~Great movie...lots of one liners..my favorite: Juno shakes the pg test and the clerk says: "It's not an Exersketch. This is one doodle you can't undiddle!" Too funny! ;) I give it 4 stars! ;)

We joined the Wii World
Jake's birthday present came yesterday! What a blast!! We had a 2hour game of bowling! Jake one the first game and Mom-mom won the second game! There is this really cool feature where you can test your fitness age. My fitness age is 54!! YIKES!! But you can play everyday to lower it. Yes, you all know what I will be doing with my free time, now! :)

Not-Wanted Valentine
Jake was upset yesterday, as S told him she didn't want to be his Valentine. He asked her, she said no, J. asked her and she said yes to the other boy. I told him that maybe he should think about liking another little girl because S likes to play games with him. One day, she says she is his girlfriend, the next day she just wants to be friends. I told him that he was too young to have a Valentine and that I would be his valentine. He told me NO!! I don't want my mom to be my Valentine! :( 7 years old! Then I was trying to explain to him that while he is way too young to even worry about these things, that maybe he should ask O or R or K etc, etc... R, he doesn't like that way. K already has NS as a Valentine and O, he just doesn't feel that way about! OMG!! He then told me that he would no longer be friends with S if she is not his Valentine. I tried to explain that it is okay to be friends with someone who no longer wants to be his "girlfriend". He told me that NO, he wasn't going to be friends and that I should stop telling him how to live his life! I burst into laughter. Live his Life!! He's only 7!!! Can you imagine what he is going to tell me at 15~!!! YIKES..I'm in trouble!

A List of Resolutions by Tiny Manolo
I am proud to present my annual list of resolutions for those who could be described as a personality type residing a bit further down the alphabet. For those who find all that mumbo jumbo about getting fit, lowering credit card debt, and being more conscientious about cleaning the house to be just too much effort.
1. Wake Up Every Morning. Doing this successfully gives you that psychological boost you need to keep up with the rest of your resolutions. I mean, when day number 354 rolls around, how many people can honestly say they stuck to their resolution every day of the year? Not many, my friends, not many.
2. Drink More of Something. Whether it be water, green tea, or vodka tonic, surely there is something we should all drink more often.
3. Eat Less of Something. If you usually can mow through an entire can of Pringles in one sitting, as long as you stop one chip short of finishing the can, you’re good. Same with a bag of M&M’s. Or that carton of Ben & Jerry’s. You get the picture.
4. Be Able to Run Faster Than at Least Two Other People. And if that means hanging out with 1 1/2 and 6474 year olds all the time, then so be it. At least you will know that you have the ability to outrun somebody, and that makes you feel good inside.
5. Educate Yourself. Learn Latin, the secrets of making really cool balloon animals, how to churn butter, or countless other skills to improve your daily life. Remember, learning is always an adventure!
6. Try New Things. Making those reservations at that Michelin 4-star restaurant, deciding to part your hair a different way, or sleeping on the opposite side of the bed. They all count.
7. This List is Already Too Long and Too Much Work, so There is No Number Seven!
8. Avoid Movies that Will Make You Cry. Life is hard enough, do we really need to pay good money to be emotionally manipulated to weep at fictional stories? 2008 is the year to stop the insanity!
9. Get Out More. “Getting out” could be defined by some as attending the theater more often. To others, it could be simply opening your front door and sitting on the lawn. How far you take this one is up to you.
10. Your turn!

Happy 2008
I can't believe another year is gone. I say that every year, sad but true!
Yesterday, Jake & I went bowling. I always have fun bowling and vow to go more often in 2008.
Spent a lovely evening playing Disney Scene It! What a fun game. And Jake WON!! He won honestly, too! ;)
Jake, Moose & I all got cozy on the couch and tried our hardest to stay awake til midnight. Moose dozed off around 10pm. Jake dozed off around 11:30 and I stayed awake to see Dick Clark kiss his wife at midnight, just as I do every year. I wouldn't have had it any other way. A nice relaxing evening to end a very busy year.
Happy New Years, friends! May you all have great fortune, good health and happy days! :)
