the sun came out

melted all the snow, made things warmer, and we got out of the house. just to soak it up. i have been walking around all week with a big dumb grin on my face. loving this weather, just loving it! i know full well that kc will toss in some crap just to mess with me, but i have the upper hand. david and i have been getting all spring cleaning twitchy. i already hauled off four bags of toys and kids clothes to goodwill, without even touching all the junk in the basement. i did go down there to contemplate my crafting space. it is a mess. stuff strewn about, covered in cobwebs and generally feeling sad and neglected. i have been thinking about having a little crafty garage sale of sorts here on huffmania next week. post things that i have that i know i am not going to get around to using, first come first serve? what do you say? you all interested? i even promise to clean off the cobwebs and dust bunnies. just a thought.

david and i watched a terrific movie last night, half nelson with ryan gosling. i have had it on my radar for months, waiting for it to come out on dvd. ryan (we are on a first name basis) was amazing. he plays a disenchanted school teacher with a crack habit. i know, doesnt sound particularly uplifting, but it was good, watch it. shareeka epps plays his student and friend and she was wonderful too, this tough street girl with the sweetest smile you have ever seen. i have a little crush on mr. gosling, mostly because he reminds me of my favorite actor, christian bale. oh yes. i am full on in love with mr. bale. my all time favorite movie is empire of the sun, which means i have been a long time fan of mr. bale (giving my obsession more legitimacy in my eyes). believe you me, i have a date with the prestige next week. if i can get my hands on some of these too, that would be hot. thanks blair for the heads up! have a good weekend friends.
