DARE-OLOGY
For this last section, if you would do it for less or more money, indicate how much.
Would you walk naked for a half mile down a public street for $100,000? Maybe.. likely not. I would for $1,000,000 for sure.
Would you kiss a member of the same sex for $100? Sure.
Would you never blog again for $50,000? Sure.
Would you pose naked in a magazine for $250,000? Sure. But I doubt you’d make any money off of it. Ha!
Would you drink an entire bottle of hot sauce for $1000? Yeah I would.. as long as there was milk nearby.
Would you, without fear of punishment, take a human life for $1,000,000? No. Stupid question.
Would you shave your head and get your entire body waxed for $5,000? For $5,000 freakin’ dollars? No. I would for $1,000,000… I’m not a hairy person but the thought of waxing my entire body isn’t appealing… and $5,000 isn’t really that much.
Would you give up watching television for a year for $25,000? That’d be easy. I rarely watch televison, so yes!
Movies!
We’re busy busy as usual here!
Clean up after the fourth was fun…. (not). Actually it just means the party was a hit. We had a blast and I don’t think anyone was disappointed with the fireworks.
All the spring cleaning we did that led up to it has paid off though. I think I went a bit overboard when I purged all the closets and drawers of old clothing. I ended up having to take two of the kids shopping on Saturday for new shorts. Oh well. They weren’t complaining.
This weekend we took the kids to see Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest (Friday night) then to see Superman Returns (Sunday night).
I loved both. I know Pirates has had a lot of negative reviews, primarily for the heavy accents and complicated story line. While I agree with those reviews, I still found the movie very entertaining. There were several “giggly” moments where the whole theater was chuckling.
Superman Returns had a lot of slow moments. I wasn’t impressed that they used CGI for Superman. It was too obvious. My daughter pointed it out the first time they showed Superman. She asked why he was a computer image? If my 10 year old daughter can figure it out, it’s too obvious. Despite that we enjoyed Superman Returns overall.
This week we have more hot tub preparation to do. The concrete has been poured and set (with my youngest’s footprints forever embedded in it.. that was on accident but it turned out adorable). We still need to dig the trench for the wiring and then get the gazebo built to go over it. I’ll post pictures whenever it gets done.
We’ve also received photos and a couple of movies (from J’s Dad) from the 4th of July party that I’ll post soon!
