Are We This Old?



Paul and I are slowly realizing that our "middle age" years are creeping upon us. We are doing nothing to keep ourselves young either as evidence of our weekend "fun" events. Event # 1: On Friday, I thought it would be great to go to a movie because Paul was free for the first time this semester, and he is leaving us next weekend. We bypassed the thriller "Prom Night" and the SNL spoof "Baby Mama" and settled on the Ben Stein documentary "Expelled." We arrived a little early at the theater, chose our seats, and watched as about 12 other couples between the ages of 45 and 75 walked in to take their seats. During the movie, I pulled out of my purse a vegetable snack tray that I bought at Costco. Paul made fun of me, but snacked on the veggies himself (5 a day is very important to us lately). As if this weren't enough to prove that we will soon need bifocals, WE ACTUALLY LOVED THIS MOVIE and joined the other couples in applauding at the end!! I seriously am going to recommend it to everyone I see. It was very thought provoking, and stirred me up inside. I may have a new cause to get behind!! (Anyone who knew me at 15 will understand that "MAYBE DOGS REALLY DIDN'T COME FROM WOLVES" after all!! I feel totally justified in making that argument in 9th grade biology).
Event #2: On Saturday, we decided to go to Park City to hit the outlets and see what kind of deals we could find. We are both crazy about getting a good deal on something. We walked right past the American Eagle and Fossil outlets and made our way into the Bass and Van Heusen outlets for some screaming deals. I went to MotherHood too, but I dare say that had I not been pregnant I would have stepped foot into the Ann Taylor outlet. When did this happen??

P.S. PAUL GOT A HOLE IN ONE when golfing with his dad on Friday and has been bragging about it all weekend. You go PJ! I thought I better mention this so that we don't forget it.

I never even heard of Expelled. What's it about?

Yeah, I believe Paul got a Hole-in-One just like I believe he can touch his toes. Try again Linda! So what time did you go to the movies, 4:30? Right after eating dinner? One day you'll be as cool as Shaylah and I and sit home and watch Monk reruns on a Friday night.

Lindsay, when are you leaving for DC? We should get together before you and Jami leave.

I was most impressed with the veggie snack at the movies. Way to help the team!

All I have to say is: BEN STEIN FOR PRESIDENT! I really want to see this movie.

I totaly know what you mean. The other day the fam and I were eating dinner at a restaurant and Brad looks at me and said "do you feel old?" totally random. I can't even remember the last time we went to a movie. I am with Danise on the monk reruns.

I have some back-issues of Sunset you can read, if you ever want to flash-forward to your 30's for a day:). Just wait until you start having body complaints in the morning.

Lindsay,
I'm coming to Utah at the very end of the month. Are you still going to be around???
