Movie talk 2

Okay, last night Angela and I watched another movie and this time I didn't read a magazine. I thought about trying to read a magazine on the treadmill yesterday (see the comment on the blog below), but I have enough trouble fiddling with the remote when ESPN goes to commercial, and I figured trying to flip pages in a magazine while I'm bouncing around might just make me fall off. Remember that story from an earlier blog about Angela falling off the treadmill and poking a hole in the wall? Well, we have since moved the treadmill, but a fall now could send me out into the hallway and into a closet. It still wouldn't be good. You can insert your own closet joke here.

I tried to be "in the moment" with Angela and pay attention to the movie, but then I remembered we're going to a big birthday party for a friend next week and we have to take food, so I had to get off the couch and look for the necessary ingredients for spinach artichoke dip. Then I fed the dogs and I had to stand there and wait for Sophie to finish because she eats slow and if nobody has her back Marlee will stick her piggy little nose in there and get some. I just think I'm ADD when it comes to movies. I'll try to get better about this though. If you have more advice, please impart.

Angela said she's much more bothered by my falling asleep during movies than the ADD. On average I probably fall asleep during seven out of ten movies. I still don't know how Oceans 12 ended. Will there be a 13? But last night I managed to stay awake. And then we went into the bedroom and looked up Bible verses together because Angela had one on her mind and she couldn't figure out which book and chapter it came from. Quality time.

Jen, Jen, Jen! How do you do AT the movies? Still get sleepy, distracted then? How about with movies you REALLY want to see? W/O knowing the whole story, I'd suggest picking more movies y'all truly want to see rather than just ones to pass the time. Poor Angela! I'd really not like it if my Honey wasn't in the moment with me! Y'all seem very happy though ... so I'm sure it's under control :-) PS. you have such a great radio voice and demeanor ... really wish you were on MORE! WHO can I contact about this?!! :-)
