Quick like a bunny
Sean was able to take a half day today & meet us at the movies, so that was fun for Cash and I. Before the film started, we used some of my Old Navy gift card to get some new jammies for Mr B because he's lately started to get excited about having pictures of things like dogs and trucks on his jim-jams & gets sad when they are just solid or stripes. So now he has some with gingerbread men & some with footballs. I wanted the airplane ones too, but they didn't have any big enough.

For all his love of the big Marley cut out, Mr B was not too impressed by Marley on the big screen. He was more interested in playing ball and dancing. And snacking, of course.

















Myself, I found the movie pretty much the same as the book, in terms of my reaction to it. It was cute in places, I cried at the appropriate spots, but it didn't feel like a cohesive story to me, and was neither as funny nor as emotionally engaging as I'd expected.

Though it's not the best movie to see two hours after you've called to set the euthanasia appointment for your most beloved kitty cat.

Friday will be Chico's last day with us :(

I'm so sorry to hear about Chico. I know how much he means to you. You can just know that you gave him a great life and I'm so glad that you'll at least get a chance to say goodbye.

(BTW, I felt the same way about the movie. I also don't care for Owen Wilson or Jennifer Aniston as actors, so that may have had something to do with it.)

Yeah, I am not a big fan of theirs either. And even though I didn't like the book so much, I was bothered by the things they changed like the gratuitous slutty male friend.

Mr B called Jennifer Anniston "mama" a few times, so I guess it wasn't just that EW photo shoot, he thinks we look alike. Nice boy.

That is a great compliment. :)

Yeah, I didn't get the friend thing either.

LOL! That's so cute that he's doing that repeatedly. Now I can't even look at a picture of her without seeing you in it.

I probably won't see that because I don't have kids, but I'm not a big fan of Owen or Jennifer either and tend to avoid most movies they are in (except Zoolander).

I like Jennifer Aniston as Rachel, but to me, that's all she is, in every single role.

And Owen Wilson tends to make movies with people I loathe, such as Will Ferrell or Vince Vaughn, so I don't see those. And his nose looks like a penis. It bothers me.

LOL! Well, he IS the Butterscotch Stallion.

I used to loathe Will Ferrell too, with a passion, but he's grown on me. Step Brothers was pretty funny.

Not to say that having or not having kids is any reason to not see a movie. Man, I spend too much time on ONTD.

Thanks, it's going to be a terrible day, but it's just got to be done :(

BTW, I forgot to tell you than Cash's Crocs came on Christmas eve, thanks so much! I put them under the tree while he was napping, so when he woke up he saw them and said "shooce! shooce shooce!" and started clomping around in them happy as can be.

Aw, I am so glad he loves his shooce!!!!! That was such an easy order - now that I know I can ship them right to you, it really simplified everything! Much cheaper for you too!

Lily, I am so sorry to hear about Chico. I know he means so much to you.

When you plan for the day, don't forget to plan to take care of yourself, too. Plan to have tissues on hand, the kind with lotion in them, and if possible get Sean or someone to drive you to the appointmentt and back. On my way home after Blueberry's last appointment, I really wished I had something tangible to hold onto. In my case it would have been Mr. Bear to hug - he's the right size and was there for me when my grandma died.

Spend as much time as you can loving on him in the meantime! Big hugs and warm wishes to you.

Oh Lily, I am so sorry about Chico. Give him an extra snuggle from all his internet admirers. He's lived a very good long life. How old is he exactly?

I'm surprised Cash wasn't more into the doggie on the movie. I haven't seen it yet, but i've been hearing good things. I'm kinda "meh" to it, but it would be fun to see.

I'm not sure whether I want to see Marley & Me, I quite liked the book, but as someone else said, I just can't see Jennifer Aniston as anyone other than Rachel!

I'm so sorry to hear about Chico. He's such a great cat. You've given him a good life, and helping him go without pain is a kindness, but I know that doesn't make it any easier to face letting him go. He's your kitty and it hurts.

I'll be thinking about you and Chico.

I'm sorry to hear about Chico--even when you know you're doing the right thing, it's still incredibly hard, and I didn't even have to deal with all the other issues surrounding Delenn that you have w/Chico. :-( Give him lots of 'nip and skritches and love from all of us, and take care of yourself, OK? *jigs*
