weekend update

the twins had a soccer game on saturday so I trekked down to puyallup early in order to see them in action. hunter was taking care of business in the goal, not scared of the ball at all. scooping it up and throwing it back on the field like it was nothing. hailey was running up and down the field doing a great job of keeping control of the ball. grandpa ed says they have improved a lot since they started on the team. way to go guys!

this girl still looks good in the rain...and strikes a pose

unfortunately, it started to rain soon after I got there. go figure. it was sunny and semi warm in seattle when I left but by the time I got down south, it was cloudy and rainy and cold. ugh. after a quick run to the vehicles, the rain paraphernalia was set to go. it's sure hard to know who's on each other's team if everyone is wearing jackets over their shirts. sometimes it's just fun to run and run and run with the ball until someone yells at you to "turn around, you are going the wrong way!" those kids crack me up.

after the game, the parents do this cool "parents tunnel" so the kids can run through them. kind of like a celebration. it was adorable and the kids LOVE it. the days of slapping hands in a long line like we did in 7th grade volleyball are over. this is way cooler.

pinklady reports on sex and the city: 4 stars

on sunday, cindy and I made it to the first showing of the day (9:50am) of "sex and the city" movie and we both really liked it. even with it being early, there were still lines. crazy. there were some loose ends tied up, some surprises, but a few open ended things that could easily open the door to a sequel. it was nice to see the girls again. the fashion alone was worth it. I'm not saying it was all my style but it is still fun to drool over. and I thought jennifer hudson did a great job. I'm hearing reviews that she isn't a great actress but I actually liked her in the role.

(note: there is nudity in this movie, beware.)

this was one of my favorite outfits in the movie. not in love with the shoes or the belt so much but the combination of bold green florals, love it.

okay, the bird in the hair, notsomuch, but the dresses...yummy

good night and have a pleasant tomorrow

yes please

it was unexpected...and still terribly romantic.

hopes dashed

my sources tell me that jennifer wasn't here yesterday.

(yes, I have sources)

and maybe (gasp) aaron eckhart wasn't even here.

could it have been his double? and the "jennifer" that was spotted, a double as well?

I don't even know what to say...

(as I check the photos below again MUCH more carefully)

I can come to no good conclusion, what do you think?

movie making

sadly, there was no jennifer aniston today but we did see LOTS of aaron eckhart. they were filming scenes with him for most of the day. the rumor on the street is that jennifer did most of her scenes in the morning and would be filming again tomorrow. we'll see.

here are some photos of our movie making witnessing:

can you pick him out?


I am really intrigued by the act of making movies...of the work that goes on behind the scenes, of the waiting around, at the orchestration of police, crowd control, actors, extras, etc. makes the planner in me sit up and take notice. wonder what it would be like?

j.a. in the house

I'm not sure why this excites me so much but jennifer aniston is in town today filming the movie "traveling."

I like her well enough but I can't say she is my favorite actress or anything. must just be the sheer fact it's a movie and she's famous. I do love my movies. or maybe it's the idea of a movie being one HUGE event and the planning side of it gets me all tingly. I might like to be part of something like that.

aaron eckhart is here too (we think).

we can watch the crew set up at the market for a shoot later today but so far, no sightings. we're going to take "a walk" at lunch to see what we can see.

stay tuned for photos and commentary.

(if we get any)
