For the past week my family has been watching our old home videos. It really is eye opening to look back and watch yourself as a young child and how your mind worked. Right before Andy was born I was 3 and I was in my room setting up a tea party for me and my mom. I had a yellow and red Thermos that I put in the middle of the table, then I found a red plate and bowl for me and a yellow plate and bowl for my mother.... At 3 years old I was already color coordinating things..... I had forgotten how crazy Melanie was as a kid. I remember her being crazy, but it is different to remember things and to watch them as they happen. Amber was so cute and sweet..... hopefully she will get that back once she is out of this teenage drama queen stuff. Andy was insane and he still is. It will been fun to make our own home videos when me and Stephen have children. It is a lot easier now that everything is digital.
When me and Stephen get movies most of the time we get more than one at a time. Then we have netflix and we have Smallville to watch as well. It is getting to the point where I have the movie and I haven't even seen it, or I haven't watched it since I have bought it. When I only have a few movies I couldn't understand how someone could have a movie and have never seen it, but now I do understand. So because I don't like it that I haven't seen a lot of the movies that we have (and when I do pick out a movie most of the time it is my favorites, so I am watching the same movies over and over) I made a list of all the movies that we own and when ever I want to watch a movie I close my eyes and point randomly on the page. What ever title my finger lands on is the movie I have to watch. Even if I really don't think I will like it, or if I am not in the mood, I have to watch it, no matter what. This way I will see every movie that we have. Stephen thinks I will cheat when I point at a movie I don't want to watch, but I won't, and more so now that I know he thinks I will cheat. If that makes any sense.
