IComLeavWe - Day 2

Hello! For an intro to my blog, please check the post below this one.

Yesterday, John Dear and I attended the Best Picture showcase at our local movie theater. We saw all five movies nominated for Best Picture (Milk, The Reader, Benjamin Button, Slumdog Millionaire and Frost/Nixon). I am definitely rooting for Slumdog Millionaire (or, as the host of the show says it "Melonaire"). We were at the theater from 10 AM on Saturday till just after midnight today. It was so much fun!!

Since I didn't get any computer time yesterday, I'm doubling up on comments today.

Anonymous said...: That does sound like a really fun day!! Glad you and JD had a good one.

Thanks for answering my questions about JD's MF issues. Our husband's motility is in the same very low range -- I've never seen anyone else with that low (sorry that sounds wrong...like "I've never known anyone else as ugly as me..." lol, sorry I'm off topic now...); February 22, 2009 at 12:43 PM
Leslee said...: Wowza that's a lot of movie watching! My husband would have LOVED to be there with you guys! He's seen three of them so far, but not in one sitting. Is there one that you liked the most, and which do you think wil win?

Thanks for your sweet comment yesterday.

I hope that you are able to move forward with ART soon. Congratulations on the weight loss! I have to admit I've felt like I was on candid camera several times, too!

Hang in there!

Kristin said...: Sounds like an incredibly fun day.

BTW, I think if I went to a clinic that discriminated against fluffy women, I would change clinics. Not trying to give you any assvice...just expressing my feelings.
