Patrick Swayze

Filed Under Celebrities, Movies, My Childhood, Thoughts | 3 Comments

I can’t believe that he just died… I mean, I believe it. He had cancer. But he just seemed too strong and handsome to die. Does that make sense? Many other stars have died and it hasn’t really hit me. But Patrick was my first movie star crush. I can recite probably every line to Dirty Dancing; it’s one of my favorites. I always have admired his talent and I love to watch him dance. When I was in about third grade my friend and I used to talk about how we wanted to be “Baby” (Jennifer Gray) so that we could dance with him. I remember buying Ghost when it came out on VHS too. I also admire him because he didn’t seem to fall into the Hollywood lifestyle of adultery, drugs, etc. He was with his wife for 37 years, and he stayed true to her and fought against his cancer until the very end. I just didn’t want the end to be already. It won’t be the same watching those movies now and knowing that he isn’t alive.

So many of us will miss you, Johnny Castle.

My Busy Day

Today was a busy day for me. The morning started off by Bailey climbing out of her highchair. Then the carpet guy came to reclean our downstairs carpet. You know, the cat pee carpet? Well apparently the pet odor treatment didn’t work because after a few days the smell was back. (And to think Jonathon wanted to spend money on stuff like cat trees and condos for this stupid cat). The guy who they sent out today did injections into the carpet padding and onto the floorboard. We are hoping this works. If not we get refunded and have to buy new carpet. A friend of mine mentioned today, she thought we had already gotten new carpet. Well that was abandoned last minute due to money being needed for other things. So cross your fingers that this carpet cleaning works!

Then my Avon order came and I couldn’t sort it downstairs because of the carpet cleaning, so I completely trashed my office trying to find room to do stuff… but at least I can deliver things tomorrow and get some money!! Bailey did a great job playing by herself in the living room and watching her Elmo video.

Tonight I had to go get my eyes examined at my old eye doctor. Apparently the crazy woman I saw last time at the cheapie place was right, and I really do have an astigmatism. So my contacts are now like $65 a box. I am just waiting to go back for my “recheck” of my new contacts and then once they give me the prescription I will go get it filled online.

After that I ran a few errands- stopped by the grocery store and stopped by Best Buy to get a new Elmo dvd for Muffie. She is absolutely in love with “Mo” right now. Then we had a late dinner and let Bailey go outside and play in her new Cozy Coupe for a little bit. She can get in and out on her own and then picks up her feet so you can push her around. I’ll have to get some pictures of her in there!

Parent Trap

We got the new Parent Trap movie (not that it’s NEW, I just mean the more recently made one) from Blockbuster Online. I saw it a long time ago, but watching it again… it just made me sad to see what a cute little girl Lindsay Lohan was. She’s so skanky now! I don’t know how many times she has been in and out of drug rehabilitation and sleazed around. I almost feel sorry for her.

Anyway I still think the Hayley Mills Parent Trap is way better. Whatever happened to her? I haven’t seen her since she was Miss Bliss on Saved By the Bell.
