Fall Weekend in Maine

Gary's brother Charlie and his wife and three kids came to Maine for the weekend with their camper. This weekend the weather has been so nice, in the 60's and sunny. We walked the whole beach today, found some little tiny sand dollars, and took a crab dinner away from a seagull. We saw it was stranded up on the beach so Carter moved it closer to the water by some rocks, the seagull followed us down the beach, probably saying "you little !@#$ bring back my dinner!"

What the Heck Are You Feeding Me?

My sister's grandson Lucas. He was not liking the taste of squash. I remember when Nicole was a baby, she ate a lot of orange veggies. squash, carrots etc. And her skin actually had a tinge of orange, the doctor said it was from eating a lot of the orange veggies.

Losing Weight

Am I a freak of nature? Why do I gain weight in the summer? Most people lose it, you are more active and on the go. Not me, must be the ice cream, in particular the Mint Explosion at Sun n Surf this summer. My mission is to lose a measly 5 pounds by the time we go to Fryeburg Fair which is Columbus Day weekend. I know, seems pointless to struggle to lose the weight, just to go to a fair and eat Sunflower pizza, apple crisp, mini doughnuts, cheeseburgers (yes, for some odd reason I love fair cheeseburgers), french fries with vinegar and it goes on. But, if I don't, I will just add it on to what I gained this summer. I am off to a good start, I lost 1 pound and have 4 to go, despite a little bit of McDonalds the night of the concert, and a little bit of KFC last night, WHAT? I have to eat something for God's sake! How come the weight just glides on so effortlessly, and it is such a struggle to lose a measly half-pound at a time. Not fair.

The Time Traveler's Wife

This was a great book. I have not seen the movie, and I am glad that I read this first. I would rather be in the privacy of my own home, with Kleenex close at hand when I watch it.

American Idols Live 2009

Brooke and I went to this concert last night in Manchester at the Verizon Center. This concert always draws such a huge age variety, from little kids to white haired grandparents! And everyone loves it. I know that I voted for Adam all along, but I am not being biased when I say he drew the loudest screams and the most applause. In fact, sad to say that when Kris Allen came on, a lot of people didn't care enough to hear him and were leaving. That's rude, he is a good singer, but just does not put on a show like Adam, he was absolutely fabulous. That boy had so many bras thrown at him on stage he could have opened his own Victoria's Secret shop. In fact, one bra he picked up and said "WHOA!" it was quite large. Suffice to say, some woman was walking around the concert after with her big boobs sagging down. snicker. And, I wouldn't have wanted to be the person who got that big, sweaty bra thrown back in my face when he whipped it back out into the audience. :)

I think it was Matt who was playing his piano like a madman who said to hold up your cell phone and lights. I got my Bic out and started flicking like mad trying not to burn my finger, oops, I was having a flashback from a Blue Oyster Cult concert I attended in my teens. Just kidding, I did not actually have a lighter, I am with the times, I have a cell phone.

When Adam started singing Fame and swiveling his hips, gay or not, you could hear the women swooning all around. It was great.

Baby's Room

This baby has so much stuff in her room! It's a purple explosion to the eyes! Look at those little rain boots, aren't they precious? Now we need little feet to fill them. 8 days......

Passengers

This was a REALLY slow-moving movie, I kept reading the paper, it only got really good at the very end. It has a Sixth-Sense twist.
