The Ugly Truth

So, I was super excited about this movie coming out on Friday night and gathered some of my peeps together to go see it. Well, I was a little bit disappointed in the movie...I had very high expectations, and they just weren't met. Don't get me wrong, the movie was funny, but it was actually a bit dirty with lots of f-words too. It reminded me a lot of "Knocked Up", which I also wasn't super excited about. It is not my fav movie of the summer that's for sure. Now, if you are looking for a GREAT movie...I say go see "The Proposal" which was probably the best movie I've seen in awhile. I will own it on Blu-Ray when it comes out because it was just a great movie. Joseph didn't see that movie, and I might just go back with him to see it again! I've turned into a bit of a movie buff this summer...there's one more movie I'm excited to see-"The Time Traveler's Wife" which comes out in a few weeks. I read the book, which is always better, but I'm willing to give it a chance. And in November "New Moon" comes out, and I never thought I'd be a big "Twilight" fan, but I'm addicted. Me and Grace even talked about being pshyco "Twilight" fans and going to the midnight showing of "New Moon" but that' pretty late for me you know!

Anyway...the title "The Ugly Truth" got me to thinking of some of the ugly but true aspects of my life, and I thought it'd make a great post. So...here's my list-

***Buying a boat that is 16 years old is gonna require a good bit of work, and money. But, after Joseph has put much time, sweat, blood and tears into the boat the motor is running. Now I have to get it registered-tomorrow in Columbia- and we have to get the right prop on it and we will be cruising the lake in our new boat-hopefully next weekend!

***I had some good success with Weight Watchers and actually lost 16 pounds before getting pregnant, never really gained any weight while pregnant (thank you morning/noon/night sickness)! I'm stuck on losing these last 4-6 pounds that I want to lose-arrgghh! And then I have to learn to maintain. And truthfully, I'd love to lose 10 more and be back to my before Jackson "fighting weight." It's time to get dedicated, again...

***I really hate thyroid disease. Which lead to several (about 10) pounds after losing Jackson (probably added with some stress). I'm thankful we did IVF because Dr. Crain found the thyroid issue, but then the other 10-15 pounds came on thanks to IVF. Oh well...again, it's just time to get dedicated!

***I'm super excited about graduating (as Joseph calls it) to 2nd Grade. After the initial shock I think it's going to be a great move for me. I've already begun working in my room and have my desks set up, but I'm lost at what kinds of centers, which aren't centers in 2nd grade I'm sure, I need to have set up. Lucky for me, I'm going out to dinner with my new team on Tuesday night, so I can grill them then!

***I'm really nervous to take my three boys to the vet. They are due for their shots, which of course they'll get, but I think I'm going to get yelled at. Rocky (the name fits) weighs 15 pounds (according to the Wii Fit) and that's way too much. I swear he's active and eats the same, if not less, then his skinny brothers, who weigh 11 pounds (Tripp) and 12.5 pounds (Charlie). Maybe I can just say he's a "big boned" cat?!!!

***After months of making fun of my friends I am now a "Facebook" addict. I don't know what it is...I don't even "talk" that much with people. But I do love the games and looking at everyone's pictures. I got to see great pics of the family reunion on there, which I wouldn't see other wise. Are you my Facebook friend?

Alright...those are some of the "ugly truths" about me. Wanna join in and confess an ugly truth? Come on...it makes you feel better. I feel so much better then I'm going to get off this computer and do something about dinner...ok, well drive somewhere and order dinner! As always, thanks for checking in on us. The real pretty truth in my life...I'm so thankful to have such wonderful family and friends who can deal with me, ugly parts included! And also, please REMEMBER JACKSON!
