Thanks for keeping me honest!!! I'm getting there!
Took "Big Stuff" to see Prince Caspian...he loved it (He also loved the "date" with mom. "Little Bit" had a "date" with dad that night too and went to Best Buy and got some movies she liked...I believe they were Princess Stories of some sort).
"Oma and Opa" watched "Big Stuff" & "Little Bit" long enough for Hubby and I to go out for dinner last night...just the two of us! A grown up meal with hubby (whom I haven't seen in about a week because of my real job...and trying to keep the kids happy because of all the extra work hours). It was fun!
and now we are down to one child the rest of this week as "Big Stuff" is with his "Oma and Opa" for a little time with them. We were going to be completely childless for a week as "Little Bit" was going to be with one of her favorite people "Mac" (and "Papa" too of course) this week for some intensive potty training and fun, but "Mac" (aka my mom) had somethings beyond her control come up (don't you love it when things our out of your hands?!?!?) and she had to take care of those...I don't know who was more disappointed "Mac" or "Little Bit"...actually, I'm thinking "Mac", but I told her not to worry. We're enjoying the special time with "Little Bit".
That's about it from here.

Kirk Douglas Interview (Originally posted on Wednesday, July 25, 2007)
Today, or rather yesterday we had an interview with Kirk Douglas on Daytime. He was promoting his new book "Let's Face It".
It was a satellite interview, so no, I didn't get to personally meet the man, but it was just interesting to watch this interview being taped. He was interviewed by Lindsay MacDonald and she has interviewed people many times (satellite or not), but usually the interviews are very informal, call the celebrities by their first names (ie Bruce Willis would be simply Bruce); however, this man is a cenimatic legend and Lindsay, for obvious reasons, was referring to him as "Mr. Douglas".
Anyway, I swear I have a point, those of us in the control room were going on about how as a younger man he was incredibly dashing and handsome
and now he's just a sweet "old man"
Be that as it may, he was extremely charming to Lindsay, and the interview seemed more like a conversation than an interview in my opinion. Despite his stroke and slower speech, his sense of timing is still there...he set up a joke and none of us knew it was a joke until the punchline hit, and we were all laughing. At one point, I think he had our producer crying, because she found him "...just so lovable".
He just seemed to love doing what he does, and that came across. The fact that he came across so friendly and down to earth and happy to be there (and believe me we've done interviews where celebrities were in the mind set of let's just get this over with!) just made my day. It also made me think that there's so much more to life than the daily grind, and I should try my best to be happy in the moment I'm in and not worry so much about all the other stuff.
I'm going to bed now, and that's my ramble for the day
