Blah, I just read three or four pages and don't remember much.. Should have taken notes or something..
I'm all 100% for Dakota being Jane. She'd be great. Especially when I think how she was in Uptown girls. She'd make a good Jane. She can look pretty lively and all when needed, but in Uptown girls she was this depressed little girl that felt unloved and unwanted; and it made her look like I'd picture Jane.. *whistle* And her skin is so white she already looks like a vamp.. That older lady really was too old.. I think Dakota is about 14 or 15 now and I think she has the body and talent to be Jane. And she hasn't changed much even if she has grown a bit. If it has to be someone else, that girl Senor Gimp mentioned, might be good too.
And someone asked if the 12yo sister was really rooting... yes she was...
God these early-teens nowdays.. My niece just about made me cry. She wants to grow up too fast... Gives in to pier pressure too easy and does stuff... Ugh.. makes me wanna scream.. I wanna protect her from all that stuff but don't want to alienate her from me so I try to find ways to talk with her about this stuff so she'd have one save adult to spill her guts to and ask questions.. who cares if it makes me cry inside; as long as I can help her somehow.. Um.. sorry, this was pretty vague.. don't wanna tell too much about her but needed to vent...
The kids were pretty nuts today. The house sure looks like that! Have to clean a lot this weekend.. like any other weekend.. it clean, clean, clean all the time with these kids.. *whistle* And I'm a lazy cleaner.. But that's parenthood for ya! Just remember the good moments... They're rare but they're there. =) Like doublepoo climping on top of me when I was lying on the sofa watching Brothers Grimm. He fell asleep there, using my right boob as a pillow! It always feels very heart warming when a child falls asleep in my lap. <3 All my nursing-instincts kick in full power and my chest feels like my heart is gonna burst. =)
I love walking these days. I've now walked three nights this week. I think the total is about 20km this week. Pretty good for a first week. Next week I'll walk even more. I'm really enjoying it now. Can't remember the last time that happened! =) And it's really taking away my blues. It's really hard to stay grumpy when you have "runner's high"! =) And the fresh air helps too. I'm kinda amazed that I'm not having any muscle pains or that my lungs don't sting when I walk very fast.. So it seems my body not only needs this, but also wants it so bad it doesn't want to argue. ;D
I was just talking with my friend A.. I'll go visit her some day really soon and she'll cut my hair even more. My hair looks kinda unfinished now. I just sent her a picture of Alice. Honestly I was thinking about something like that before I even saw any pictures of Alice, I swear! =) But of course it's not a bad thing to have Alice hair. I'm adding my own little twist to it. I'll dye it with the darkest brown I can find (black is a bit too dark for me, don't want it to suck all the light and look dead.) and a few flashy-red highlights. =) Can't wait! *hops up and down*
And as long as I'm already writing about looks.. Gowd, how shallow I must seem right now.. I've never been into makeup. On my teens some people asked me about it, but I told them I don't want to spend too much time infront of a mirror. If I can't find a guy that likes me for who I am, I'll be alone then.. That's what I told them.. I've always been very lazy about my looks. I don't even know how to do my hair. It's always just open or on a ponytail. I love to have a perm, it's so easy to look good then. =) But I'm rambling now.. So I meant to say that in the past year, I've been paying a bit more attention to my face. Skin actually.. It's gone a bit dry now and I've got couperosa.. so I've been kinda experimenting with makeup but I still think it's not for me and feel like an idiot trying to put some on.. So I just ended up to put on some creamy-stuff that gives a bit color covers the couperosa. I think the english term for it would be foundation.. A few times when I've gone out for a party, I've tried to put on more but eye makeup is really hard! makes me wanna stop in the middle and wash up.. So the point to this little ramble.. I was shopping with hubs today and happened to come across some make-up... I bought a new mascara and a liquid eyeliner. I've been thinking if a liquid one would be easier to put on. Anyone got any experience? Jeez, last time I tried to use an eyeliner-pen it felt like I was using a blunt scalpel to cut of my own eyelids! I don't get it how some people can make eyes look so beautiful.... *whistle* I'm really not born to be a girly girl...
