Life is Not a Movie

Posts Tagged ‘gwen’

Something Gwen loves to say is “this makes me happy…in my pants” because she’s mature like that. One day we decided it was entirely possible to be sad…in your pants. Then we started to use this all the time. Then it turned into just having “sad pants.” Then we laughed, a lot. Still, when I think of it, I giggle. Gwen then drew this, which is sad pant’s mascot I guess.

So the real question is, do you have sad pants today?

Me: Keanu Reeves needs to be in silent films and just, you know, lay there.
Gwen: That would be a picture.

• Gwen actually asked me if she could go see the NBSS in Boston, which just so happens to be where my husband went to school for training. How random is that??
• Nothing really phases her, not Boston traffic or porn books or Aurora.
• Both Manly Man and Gwen do great accents, which they did basically the entire time we were at a cafe Friday night. If only I’d had a video camera.
• At the movies on Friday seeing The Men Who Stare At Goats there were obnoxious teenagers making commentary that were very close to being punched by one of us and a woman in front of us texting. Who pays $10 to see a movie and then not watch the fucking movie??
• Gwen really is a great cook, she made us these noodles and california rolls. Today she’ll make us little pies.
• She’s way easy going to the point that she just doesn’t care either way, Manly Man is often the same way. Can you guess who makes most of the decisions?
• We did in fact giggle everytime Kevin Spacey came on screen during the movie.

You can see pictures on Facebook and my flickr.

I will probably send some updates when I pick her up at the airport, you can see them here.

Another helpful list for Hurricane Gwen.

• Everywhere we go we’ll both be pointing to things like food or objects and saying “have you seen/heard of this before?” “what about this?”
• Being included in our in-depth conversations with the cats.
• The joy that is Boston drivers.
• Giggles everytime she says “garage”. However most people we know do not even have a garage so it may be tough to bring it into conversation.
• Seeing all of Manly Man’s collections such as his cereal box collection, candy wrappers collection and all his Edward Gorey.
• Being lured by Lucy-fur’s Aurora’s cuteness only to quickly be bitchslapped by her.
• My burping.
• The Wonder Twins
• Falling in love with Boston.

What I know I’m in store for:

• Listening to Manly Man and Gwen babble on and on about stuff I don’t know anything about.
