Reunions
I thought I had dodged it. My husband has been sharing with me his adventures on his 20 year high school reunion website. I (along with a few of his buddies) harassed him into posting his profile. He seemed surprised that there were some classmates that he didn’t even remember. With a graduating class of 600, I’m not surprised. My graduating class from St. Joseph’s was all of 32 people and I’m pretty sure I can’t remember them all. I was secretly glad that my class seemed was too disorganized to ever put together a reunion. You never feel thin enough or accomplished enough to want to go back and face the people whose opinion you cared so much about then. And then I got it. An email request to join my own class reunion website. Come to find out it is actually pretty interesting to see what everybody is up to...and we have the good sense to get reacquainted on line, not at a golf tournament.

titilating blog titles
Come on Bill! Unless I can tune into Utah Now tonight and actually find out how often you and Mrs. Bill make love, I’m going to be pissed. Kerry, I went to your blog hoping to see a picture of you in a compromising position. I was cheated! Duped! Lied to!

making an effort
To be a good blogger requires and honesty. It’s the same problem I used to have when I was little and had a diary. I used to write in my diary KNOWING my mother would read it-so I wasn’t completely honest. “ Dear Diary, I really love mowing the lawn and can’t wait to do it on Saturday.” I’d also try deflect attention to my other siblings. “Dear Diary, I told Mikelle if I catch her sneaking out the basement window at midnight to go jump on the neighbor’s trampoline one more time, I’m going to tell!” Consequently, I think I defeated the whole purpose of having a diary-a secret place to work out your most intimate thoughts. I could never get over the idea that once you write something down, you have to assume it’s possible for the whole world to read it someday. You know on some huge interactive thing like the internet. So I’m going to make a real effort to semi-regularly blog and will probably mostly lie.

Post partum DJ
I’ve got kids. Three of them. Festus 10, Jonesie 2, Mohammed 3 months. That’s not a lot of offspring, particularly in comparison to other Utah families. My kids are not only beautiful (all moms think their kids are the cutest on the planet), but they are GOOD. Festus is the most polite, easy going 4th grader. Does his chores every day without complaint, is a great big brother and leaves me little notes on my nightstand that say “thanks for being the best mom ever!”. Jonesie is hilarious. Just last night my husband Joe was cutting up strawberries for dessert and she patted his arm and said “ I’m so proud of you, Daddy!”. Mohammed never cries. Really. He wakes up and just coos and grins until it’s time to go back to sleep. My beautiful husband Joe comes home from work every night and cooks me gourmet dinners that I don’t appreciate. I know, you are puking right now, but in spite of all of this- I’m depressed-a word that has never entered my vocabulary. I have absolutely no reason to be. My life is truly blessed, yet here I am on the verge of tears all day long. I know it must be a combination of being sleep deprived and fluctuating hormones. Regardless of the cause, I feel guilty that I am down when everything in my life couldn’t be going better. I know it’s only temporary and as soon as my baby starts sleeping through the night things will get better. It also helps to know that there are Friends of the Program going through the same thing. I think we all need to go to the movies together!

animal lover/ mouse killer
I am responsible for a death. Richie spotted a mouse under my desk, much to my shrieking dismay. I’m sure I lured him there in the first place with my drawers full of discarded Clif bars that my husband sends to work with me and also the Ding Dongs I’m hiding from my husband. I could not bring myself to sit at my desk knowing that icky little mouse feet might be scurrying across my own toes. I could get the plague! Or hantivirus! And everybody knows, where you see one mouse, there are many others lurking in the shadows. So I agreed to let Richie set a trap which promptly caught said mouse. The minute I saw him, his tiny little neck snapped in the trap, my heart sank. He was such a cute little thing-all furrry and whiskers and whatnot. I am an animal lover, always have been. I’ve even been one of those ‘activist’ animal lovers- getting involved in causes like Best Friends Animal Sanctuary. Rallying X96 listeners to participate in Strut your Mutt, Dare to Wear Black Ball and countless Super Adoption events. I’ve even won an award for “Best Media Representative for Animals”...yet what trumps all of that is my stupid, girly fear of mice. I am a hypocrite. I am ashamed. My wussiness killed a mouse.
Gina’s Top 10 Movies
Monday, March 17th, 2008 @ 2:03PM
Here they are in no particular order:
Shakespeare in Love - OK, Maybe this is my favorite. It’s got it all: Shakespeare, bare-chested smoochin’, witty dialogue, a bit with a dog… Love it. I’m going to go watch it right now.
Pretty Woman - It’s Julia for God’s sake!!! Plus, I always wanted to have the nerve to spit a giant wad of gum at some random bitchy woman on the street.
Raising Arizona - Funniest movie ever. I’ve seen it a million times and I still roll on the floor every time I hear, “These balloons blow up into funny shapes?” “Not unless you think round is funny.”
Young Frankenstein - Funniest movie ever. I’ve seen it a million times and I still roll on the floor every time I hear, “Would you like to go for a roll in ze hay?”
Aliens - Ass kickin’ woman “Get away from her, you bitch!!!”, Great villain, great Bill Paxton lines like, “Why don’t you put her in charge?”
Raiders of the Lost Ark - Non-stop action, bare-chested smoochin’, bull whip, and a woman drinking a mob of thugs under the table.
Pulp Fiction - The epitome of cool.
Star Wars - Went to see this movie for my 8th birthday and saw it ten more times before my 9th birthday.
Somewhere in Time - “RICHARD!!!!!!!”
Grease - It’s the word, you know.
