I WOULD BE SURPRISED IF I WERE YOU!!!!!

So its been all most 9 whole months since I posted something new....... So I thought that I would...... So today is not only my B-day (WOOHOO) it is also the trial day for the JENA 6 and unless you've lived under a rock for the past 6 months you've heard something about this, but incase you do live under a rock here is a breif discription: Last March-ish at Jena High there was a Nuse hung in the "hanging tree" on the school campus and in retaliation 6 black students beat a white student unconcious. I'm not even sure if he had anything do with it or not. But It has become a media circus.... Rev. Al Sharpton, MLK III, and others have all been in and out of town over the past 3 or 4 months creating an up roar and what not. SO today was one of the first trials and they have had marches, rallies, i even heard that Opra was here!!!! We watched the TODAY show this morning at 7:30 (while eating cake that my husband went and got at like 6:00 this morning before i got up) and there was already like 40,000 in Jena where the usual population is 3,400. I heard that by trial time there was anywhere from 60,000 to 100,000. And not only was all this going on in Jena, Alexandria is the closest "real city" to Jena so it is where all these people are staying and they decided to have some rallies and what not down town.WELL I have no real opinion about this BUT wouldn't you know that this was the day that I HAD to go to down town Alexandria. It was crazy. What should of taken me like 10 mins took 45. People just walking out in front moving cars, parking in the roads, police trying to direct traffic, one guy going the wrong way down a oneway and honking at people going the right way, it was crazy. I hate going downtown anyway so i was way aggeravated by the time i got out of there. Hopefully they are not going to do this for every trial!

In other news: We have started going to the movies every Sunday afternoon when it only cost an arm instead of an arm and a leg. We've done this for the past month or so and some of the best we've seen are Transformers, Borne Ultimatium, and 3:10 to Uma. We just saw 3:10 to Uma, we didn't know anything about it before we went but it was OK. It kinda dragged a time or two, but the story line was good. Borne Ultimatium was the bomb diggity. I loved it. You need to see the first two before you go though. I didn't really care to see the Transformers, Dustin picked it but it was well worth the money. I was surprised. I don't think that we are going this week because our choices are not the best. But I will post more reviews soon.

Well thats all for now, but before i go I would Just like to remind everyone (all 1 of you who will read this) that I can't spell and I'm ok with it.
