Our little rocknrolla

Ok - so Friday we finally found out we are having another son. And yes we are happy about that news. I am not one of those girls who dreamed of having a girl to send to cheerleading camp, dance lessons or beauty pageants (not that all girls do those things), so at least I can sigh relief that now I have two boys that hopefully will enjoy some of the things we like doing as a family- mostly outdoor activities such as camping, fishing, hiking, boating and sports. Now, if one of our sons enjoys interior decorating, that's just fine- he'll make loads of money here anyway from the old rich retirees, and we'll love our sons no matter what they succeed at, and hope they find happiness and peace in their lives as we have.
In another note, we had a busy weekend and this is the first morning I have had any free time. We have found alot to do without having any tv channels on, and still haven't had time to finish staining our living room furniture. Oh well....
We watched a movie called "Rocknrolla" or something like that from Guy Ritchie. It was so much like "Snatch" and "Lock Stock ...." that it was too predictable. His movies are entertaining, have fast editing, witty sharp dialogue, and insane characters that are mostly psychotic. Even his "good" guys are street thugs, junkies or gamblers (or all three). It was amusing but not fresh. I like Gerard Butler and his Scottish accent, but he was just one of many stock characters in this flick along for the crazy ride. It's very macho, very high adreneline, and so-so compared to Ritchie's other films (not including "Swept Away" of course, which i saw on cable once, and it is a really awful movie).
Ta ta for now.
