No, not THE movie, but a short made by my oldest son on another Friday the 13th over a year ago. I couldn't get it to embed here, so click the link and enjoy!

Meet my children's other mother....
Creepy, huh?
My kids had fun at the Coraline movie website exploring, replacing eyes with buttons, and creating flowers, but the button eyes just creep me out! There are also really interesting behind the scenes videos and pictures on the website (which is really quite impressive and worth checking out). I learned what a cool and creative job it is being a "rigger", and how "thinking outside of the box" is such a necessary skill in that line of work.
The movie itself was also quite amazing, especially for stop-action fans like we are. The 3-D effects have become so much more advanced. Now I want to see all movies in 3-D! I don't want to say much about the movie, for those who plan to see it, except that it is not for the faint of heart. It is pretty intense and scary in parts, and it effectively draws you into forgetting it's all pretend. It left a lasting impression that will definitely be on my mind for a while!

Enough About ME Already,
Let me tell you about my dear husband with this "Husband Meme" I saw on Julie's blog.
1. He’s sitting in front of the TV. What is on the screen? Whatever channel he happened to stop on right before the magic remote put him to sleep.
2. You’re out to eat. What kind of dressing does he get on his salad? Italian
3. What is one food he doesn’t like? Pretty much anything from a box or can.
4. You go out to the bar. What does he order? What bar?! If it's the one were we wait for a table to be ready, probably a glass of wine.
5. Where did he go to high school? William Floyd H.S. in Shirley, NY - same as me. ;)
6. What size shoe does he wear? 10 and 1/2
7. If he was to collect anything, what would it be? He equates most collections with clutter, so anything he collects is useful, ie. tools and cookbooks.
8. What is his favorite type of sandwich? Hmmmm, I'm not sure about this one, but probably a good Reuben, or an italian hero with everything on it.
9. What would the Husband eat every day if he could? Nothing I can think of. He likes variety.
10. What is his favorite cereal? Frosted Mini-Wheats, or the Muesli he had in Switzerland.
11. What would he never wear? A dress, or anything right off the rack. Clothes need to be broken in by the washer before wearing.
12. What is his favorite sports team? None that I know of
13. Who is his best friend? Me?
14. What is something you do that he wishes you wouldn’t do? Display "knick-knacks" on the kitchen windowsill.
15. How many states has he lived in? Three: NY, MA, FL
16. What is his heritage? Italian, and possibly Irish(the family history is a little cloudy)
17. You bake him a cake for his birthday; what kind? Yeah right! Like I'm going to bake a cake for my pastry chef husband! No, he gets an ice cream cake, either good old fashioned Carvel or mint chocolate chip from Baskin Robbins.
18. Did he play sports in high school? No
19. What could he spend hours doing? Cleaning out the garage and playing with our kids.

Daydream Believer, That's Me!
I saw this on Kelly's blog and decided to try it out.
Your result for The Perception Personality Image Test...
NBPC - The Daydreamer
Nature, Background, Big Picture, and Color
You perceive the world with particular attention to nature. You focus on the hidden treasures of life (the background) and how that fits into the larger picture. You are also particularly drawn towards the colors around you. Because of the value you place on nature, you tend to find comfort in more subdued settings and find energy in solitude. You like to ponder ideas and imagine the many possibilities of your life without worrying about the details or specifics. You are in tune with all that is around you and understand your life as part of a larger whole. You are a down-to-earth person who enjoys going with the flow.

Hmmm, I Don't Know What to Think About This.
| You Are 50% Left Brained, 50% Right Brained |
 Left brained people are good at communication and persuading others. If you're left brained, you are likely good at math and logic. Your left brain prefers dogs, reading, and quiet. The right side of your brain is all about creativity and flexibility. Daring and intuitive, right brained people see the world in their unique way. If you're right brained, you likely have a talent for creative writing and art. Your right brain prefers day dreaming, philosophy, and sports. |
Are You Right or Left Brained?
Does this mean I'm neither right or left brained?

Six Words
Stephanie tagged me almost a week ago for this.
1. Write the title to your own memoir using 6 words.
2. Post it on your blog.
3. Link to the person that tagged you.
4. Tag five more blogs.
This was hard. I may be "quiet" in a lot of conversations, but get me started and it's hard to stop! Only six words is quite a challenge, but I guess this would be me:
Always learning and trying to improve.
Now I tag:
Sandra
Madeline
Pam
Heather
Kelli
(If you guys have done this already, sorry!)

Hmmmm.....
This is a really fun meme I first saw on Mary's blog. Then I saw it on two other blogs. Each one amazed me by how thought provoking apparently random things can be sometimes. I had to try it.
Here's how:
1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random The title of the first article on the is the name of your band.
2. http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3 The last four words of the last quote on the page is your album title.
3. http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/ The third picture, no matter what it is, becomes your album cover.
Put it all together and, voila! You have your next album.
Here's mine:
What do you think?
