Hobbit-ish Potpurri: Let's Go To The Movies (Let's Go See The Stars)

Good Morning Humble Readers...

First up, 10 hobbit bonus points to anyone who can name the movie that my subtitle for today's post comes from.  I'll give you a hint... it's a musical.

*****
So, you probably noticed the two countdown clocks at the top of this page.  I think it's a tad ironic that the movie I have been looking forward to for almost three years (basically since the first time I started reading the last Harry Potter book) is going to be released 10 days before my due date.  This little halfling had better stay put until then!  ;)  I was also hoping to add a Hobbit movie countdown, but the dates for that one keep getting pushed back.  Come on, Mr. Jackson... take pity on a poor little hobbit!

My Beloved and I went and saw Toy Story 3 last night.  It wasn't as good as the original of course, but it was still pretty darn good.  It had me crying at the end... and even my Beloved got misty.  There were some really great funny moments, and quite a few adult jokes throughout.  I have to say, I loved the addition of Barbie and Ken to the crew. 

*****
I want to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone who offered their info and advice on my last post.  On the advice of my OB's nurse I chose not to take the meds until I am able to discuss it with Dr U.  I have a phone consult scheduled with him on Monday.  I am feeling much better about the meds and that they will be okay, I just want to hear it from Dr U.  In the mean time, I have been a good girl and have stayed very hydrated and away from salt as much as I can.  I have never been one to cook with salt (my mom never did either), but I always have added salt at the table.  I have also been more aware of the sodium that is in prepared foods (who knew there was so much sodium in chocolate milk?!?).

I missed out on doing a Canada Day post this year.  I had to work and it ended up being a crazy busy day.  We did a hot dog/lemonade stand to raise money for our in-house literacy fund.  It was a lot of fun, and we raised a ton of money.  Afterward, tho, I was exhausted.  I am so looking forward to the day when I can share weekends and stat holidays with my husband.

  1. I didn't even need to see you mention a musical in your post to starting singing Annie after reading your title. I know all things redhead!

  2. I see someone beat me to the Annie punch...

    I love that the Deathly Hollows ticker is up there. I loved Half Blood Prince the best of all the books, but am most excited for the last two movies. Hoping it's my first date night with G after the baby :)

  3. Yes, I knew it was Annie, too! I didn't know there was a predicted release date for Harry Potter. Aweseome! Luckily, my husband doesn't care about Harry Potter at all, so he can watch the kids while I go, yay! And I'm with you on the Hobbit movie. I'm almost done re-reading LOTR, and I have the DVDs in my hospital bag, and I'm actually looking forward to re-watching them during labor.

  4. Hey Missus!
    Yeah I knew it was Annie too. Cute sidebar-DD tries to sing "Tomorrow" but she can't yet! She totally loves when I sing it to her though!
    I'm excited for HP too. Hoping that I get to see the trailer soon-keep meaning to download it. Take care!

  6. I hope your phone consult goes well and it puts most of your fears to rest.

    Oh I hope you get to see Harry Potter before bubs arrival, it will be hard to do after! :D

Hobbits are social creatures, and love hearing from friends old and new. Pull up a comfy chair and let's get to know one another.
