Will Ferrell does the voice for the Man in the Yellow Hat in the 2006 Curious George movie?? Really??
I thought I might have recognized his voice whilst the movie played over and over in my house and van but I had no idea it was him…

New Page
I added a new page Mommy Talk. I find myself saying things that are just random, weird, gross, or otherwise things I just never expected to say in my lifetime. I keep saying I’m going to write them down so I can remember, so this is my attempt. I know there are so many I’ve missed out on over the past 4 years with Emma but better late than never I guess.
Stranger Than Fiction
*spoilers ahead*
I really enjoyed this movie. I would have never imagine Will Ferrell could pull of being an IRS agent but I think he did it and did it well. I loved that they threw in some trying-to-be-funny-like-Will-Ferrell lines. I found myself laughing out loud to several parts of the movie.
I just loved the scene were he brought her “flours” and told her “I want you”. I had a little bit of a hard time with Will Ferrell and Maggie Gyllenhal being together but not anymore weirded out than I was with Jake Gyllenhal and Heath Ledger. Will and Maggie just seem like an unlikely couple. But somehow, Harold and Ana pulled off the spark and I was convinced they wanted each other.
I really enjoyed the twisted plot of this. I always seemed to be on the edge of my seat waiting to find out what happened next to Harold Crick. I felt like all the acting was solid and I am so happy they didn’t kill Harold Crick and somehow I was ok with the fact he was plastered by a bus and I was supposed to believe it didn’t kill him.
I loved the scene when Harold is reading the entire manuscript at the end. It’s like he’s holding his entire life in his hands, including the end, and he makes a decision to read it. Isn’t that a classic question? Would you want to know how you died if you could? And he chooses to read it and he accepts his poetic death, using his life to save someone else’s. Man, that would have been a great end. But I’m glad he lived and knowing what facing the end is like, he would go on to live his life to the fullest.
On Victoria Beckham
I’m not sure whether I want to BE her and BE WITH her. Wow. I watched her new show last night and she is so. pretty. Every time she would come on the screen I was like, She’s pretty. Perfect body, gorgeous hair, impeccable style, very witty and do we need to mention her husband?
Yes, we should mention her husband.
He’s hot. And talented. And 60 Billion dollars. Omg, I could look like Victoria if I had that much money to spend. Back to David…where was I? Oh yes, he’s hot and talented and rich. Those W pictures? They are both hot. Have I mentioned how hot both of them are?
Yeah, Welcome to America, Victoria and David.

So last night I went to the gym, came home and went swimming. The kids weren’t up for too much longer after that and M, a graduate of the youth group stopped by our neighbor’s house to drop something off and ended up staying and telling my of her drama from the weekend. Apparently her and a few other friends went driving/walking downtown Charlotte. Two of the girls got mad, starting walking around and WENT HOME with a RANDOM father and son and stayed at their house until the wee hours of the morning. And one of them showed up Sunday morning in one of their gym shorts. Nice. Anyway, after she left, we watched Stranger than Fiction. And that is about it for my incredibly exciting night.
L is coming today which works out well since I have a meeting this morning and also I about went crazy yesterday because I was so busy at work and the girls were SO whiny. Anyway, since I have bible study and church tomorrow night, all of my family is doing my birthday dinner tonight at Longhorn’s. I think Mom is making my favorite chocolate cake too.
Gosh, I think those last two Vintage posts have fried my brain to mush, I don’t feel as if I can write anything of any sort of merit.
July 17, 1993
Last night my family was planning on going out shopping and Mom had to stop by “a customer’s house”. We got there and it was M’s house. M&M made me a birthday surprise. They decorated her room and made me a cake. They were so sweet. I was SO surprised. We went swimming and then just went up to her room and talked about church and speaking in tongues and OF COURSE guys. It was G, C and DD. He’s a new guy of M’s. We stayed up till 6:00am and got up at 10am. 4 hours of sleep. I am so tired. Last night I called G and he told me he was thinking about me – alot. I asked him what he was thinking and he said happy things. I was fixing to say happy, happy, joy, joy but I didn’t. He said he had to tell me something. I just don’t know what it is. I really, really want to find out. Like now.
July 17, 1994
This might make you want to throw up….my apologies in advance.
We’re on our way to camp and I’m not looking forward to it at all. Me and Heather were not able to sign up in a cabin so we got stuck with people we don’t even know. Heather is okay about it, but it sort of upsets me! I want to be with my friends, especially on my 16th birthday. I want to try to change it, but I have a feeling it’s not going to work. Maybe S can do something for me. Plus, I miss Scott. I haven’t seen him since Friday night. I hope he’s thinking about me because he’s all I can think about.
Later…
Well, things have gone better. I’ve found friends here in my cabin and even though things didn’t work out as I had wanted, I know I will have a good time. I’m starting not to care what other people think. E, me, Heather and another girl, C, are the only people on this side of the cabin. I still miss Scott so terriblly. I just want to feel his arms around my small waist (as he calls it) and kiss his soft lips. And to know I will not be doing this until Friday breaks my heart into many unbearable pieces. Okay, let’s not get too mushy. [too late] But I don’t care how I talk [really? you should] I still miss him. I want to call him but he’s at the beach. I hope he’s thinking about me. Tomorrow is my birthday – my 16th birthday.
happy monday
Well, I’m not sure about happy monday, but it is monday. Yesterday can be simply summarized in four words..church, nap, choir, chill. Very laid back day.
Scott was off to Columbia this morning for some sort of drug training. Lexi was awake even before him although she was content to lay in bed with me and watch tv. As soon as I was up, both girls were in whine-mode and it was NOT starting my week off good. I got up and got ready and got them ready and they got into the swing of things playing and such. Now, I’m waiting on our Crystal Springs thing to come. They said they’d be here between 10 and 11 and they have 20 minutes left.
Hmm..other plans for the week. Scott has to go to Columbia again tomorrow and then is back on days and has to work Wednesday. Then is off until Monday. My birthday is Wednesday. I may finally use the hot stone massage gift card I got for Mother’s Day but we have no other plans. Friday I’m going to work and we’re doing an early dinner at The Cheesecake Factory. That is if anyone decides to go. This Saturday will be quite busy with a yard sale, birthday party for D&D’s girls and a cookout that night. I think that’s the major plans for the week. I definitely want to try to get to the gym 3-4 times this week.
Work is busy this week. Lots of production issues popped up last week and I have to get them all implemented this week. Maybe I’ll get some more overtime in, my checks have been awful nice with extra hours on it.
I think that’s it for now, nothing interesting. Maybe I’ll find some Vintage Amy posts, I haven’t done one in a few weeks.
