View other answers The Lost Boys was my favorite movie when I was 12. I didn't really have any favorites before that. Currently it is a toss up between The Dark Knight and The Usual Suspects.

8:57 pm	Writer's Block: Use Your Power Our holiday gift to you: the question submitted most often to Writer's Block—if you could have a superpower, what would it be and how would you use it? View other answers I would want to be precognitive, that way I could see things before they happened and maybe be able to prevent disasters and save lives. I could look into the future to see tsunamis, earthquakes, etc; and be able to warn and evacuate people. Also, I could help stop terrorist attacks. Okay, maybe I would play the lotto once or twice too. ;) (Comment on this)

10:28 pm	So my five year anniversary is coming up and I am excited. We have been married for five years! It's funny, some of our friends who got married after we did , are already divorced. And some other friends, who married before us are divorced as well. I don't want to jinx us , but I do believe we are in it for the long haul. Current Mood: happy (Comment on this)

3:13 pm	The wierd things that get moms excited Yay ! My 15 month old daughter used the potty chair last night and today . She has peed in the potty twice ! We aren't pushing her because she is really young yet, but we just got the potty chair yesterday and she has already used it twice ! I am so excited ! I know that we aren't any closer to having her potty trained than we were three days ago, but I am very encouraged by the fact that she is so comfortable with it. A lot of kids freak out when they sit on their little potty chairs for the first time. Juniper just kind of gave me this look like I was silly for suggesting she try to pee in the potty. I would really just like to have her potty trained before we are pregnant with our next one. Current Mood: excited Current Music: tinkle tinkle little star (Comment on this)

11:51 pm	Sad I am sad right now because TK's last night was tonight. She is going back to school and will probably be away until next summer. She is seriously one of our best employees. Aside from that she is also just a really cool person who is kind and bright and generally just makes the world a better place by being in it. I miss her already.

12:07 am	I was so lucky tonight that I had such good floorstaff on duty . We were understaffed and crap was just breaking all over the place. Luckily, both the girls really pitched in and made it so my closer wouldn't be completely screwed. Current Mood: tired (Comment on this)

8:04 pm	Unreal If I hear one more person say " I don't believe in restricting my children " or something to that effect , I am going to absolutely lose my mind. I am not talking about lenient parenting styles here, I am talking basically no parenting. This idiot of a woman wanted to bring her three year old into an R rated feature. Policy is that no one under six will be admitted. She throws an absolute fit and accuses us of stifling her child and tries to explain her views on parenting. Meanwhile , her wonderfully unrestricted children are tearing the place apart and walking up to strangers and asking them for money to buy soda and popcorn and calling people names when they refuse. About a bazillion experts have proven that kids need stability and boundaries and limits and occasionally a swift kick in the rear. Why people can't get this through their heads is beyong me. I hope to God that my child never goes to school with kids that have parents who are incapable of actually parenting their children. Current Mood: aggravated (Comment on this)

9:14 pm	Some days I wonder if people realize how much of their energy and potential they waste on holding grudges or allowing themselves to hold on to anger and resentment. I try everyday to just let something go. Whether it is resentment towards someone who wronged me, or my regret regarding something I did or didn't do. I made a deal with myself around New Years that I would do my best not to harbor hatred or anger or just general bad feeling in my heart anymore. I could give myself a day, but the next morning I had to start fresh. This is not to say that I let people walk all over me or that I don't learn from my mistakes, but I don't let my past rule me. I let as much as I can go. I choose happiness, as corny as that sounds. I look around me, at my beautiful daughter and my wonderful husband and I realize that nothing else really matters. I am not saying that I am always happy and that I never have a bad day. I am saying that I kind of force myself to choose to be happy . Even when I don't get everything I want or need, I still can find something in my life to be happy about because I do have WHO I want and need in my life. God, I am such a sap sometimes.

9:11 pm	Too old for this !@%#@! I swear to God that some of the kids I work with actively seek out drama. Instead of handling disputes like adults or even normal people they wage some sort of popularity war and not only do they try to decimate their enemy , they also try to decimate anyone who won't actively take their side. Grow up. This isn't high school. I don't have time for this crap and frankly it makes you look stupid. Current Mood: annoyed (Comment on this)

10:41 pm	We are almost finished with our Christmas shopping. Thank God ! Seriously if I hear one more crappy version of Santa Claus is Coming to Town while waiting in a line of a bajillion people, I will lose my mind. We had our sister watch the baby while we shopped and I am kind of having mixed feelings right now because when we came back, there was a young girl in the apartment who we had never met before that was "helping" watch our baby. I am not thrilled with this. Firstly, I don't know this girl at all and secondly, she was not what I would consider old enough to be responsible for an infant. Maybe an older kid, but not a child under three. I know I am over protective and paranoid, but so what ? NOTHING is more important to me than my precious baby girl. Well, the evening ended well anyway. When we got home , we threw some music in and danced. My girl absolutely LOVES to dance. Whenever she dances or sees someone else dance she bursts out into hysterical laughter that is contagious. It's awesome. She is awesome ! And me, baby and daddy had a blast dancing around the house.

10:16 pm	Holy shit ! I feel so bad for this girl at work . Her roomate is being a total bitch and is going to move out with like two weeks notice. She needs to find a roomate extremely fast. It looks like her roomate is gonna take off and move back home leaving her with the lease and all the financial problems. I am hoping that everything works out okay because she seriously has enough to deal with without the crappy roomate problem. (Comment on this)

11:44 pm	Last Monday my baby got her flu shot. Normally this wouldn't be a big deal at all except that she had a reaction to the shot. She was running a fever for two days. She is finally better now, but her fever didn't break until around four this afternoon. Last night and thursday night were just awful . She was up almost every hour and sometimes she would just cry inconsolably. I just felt so bad for her. She had no idea what was going on. All she knew is that she was hot and ached all over. Hopefully, she is all done being sick now. Her temp is normal and she is sleeping comfortably. I however , still have an overwhelming desire to put her in a plastic bubble to keep all the germs away from her. Current Mood: tired (Comment on this)

10:11 pm	My darling baby girl is six months old now and I still am suprised at how beautiful she is every time that I see her. She smiles and I feel like I would do anything to keep her smiling. Every day is like an adventure. I am so thrilled to have her in my life. She is totally worth the c-section scar. Current Mood: energetic (Comment on this)

12:54 am	So damn beautiful Tonight I walked into our living room and my husband was sitting on the sofa feeding our 5 week old daughter. I looked at the two of them together, sitting there , calm and peaceful. They both have dark hair and dark complexions. You look at them and instantly know that they are father and daughter. Suddenly I just started crying because I just felt this overwhelming sense of rightness and I just thought to myself how perfect and beautiful they look together. My husband was a little concerned about my crying until I told him why. Then he kind of laughed and admitted that he feels the same way when he watches me nursing her. Well, of course that just started more tears on my part and some laughter too because this hormonal roller coaster ride I am on is just so hard to control sometimes. Today though, everything just felt perfect. Current Mood: content (Comment on this)

12:11 pm	Juniper is almost one month old. I truly enjoy every day with her , but I am so sleep deprived. I seriously almost fall asleep while feeding her sometimes. Being a mom isn't easy , but it is so worth it. Every day she does something new and adorable. She is beautiful and perfect and she is mine ! Current Mood: happy (Comment on this)
