Wednesday Wickedness featuring Lady Gaga's Quotes

It's time for Wednesday Wickedness again.



Hi and welcome to Wednesday Wickedness. We are like other memes in that we will ask you ten questions each and every Wednesday. But our little "twist" is that each week we will pick a famous person and pick ten of their quotes. Each of our questions will be based on the quotes. Got it? Great! Let's begin this week's meme!


Today we picked Lady Gaga.
Here's Wednesday Wickedness!




1. "Peace. it does not mean to be in a place where there is no trouble, noise, or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart." Do you keep your cool no matter what is going on around you?

Oh definitly not. I usually freak the hell out.

2. "Some women choose to follow men, and some women choose to follow their dreams. If you're wondering which way to go, remember that your career will never wake up and tell you that it doesn't love you anymore." Do you feel that career should be more important than your love life?

Personally I'd rather have the love life. You can be totally broke, in love and everything seem perfect.


3. "You have to be unique, and different, and shine in your own way." In what way(s) do you feel that you are unique?

Hmmm I have many talents although I'm too exhausted to do any of them lately. I'm unique at work because I'm the only one without that college education





4. "I want women -- and men -- to feel empowered by a deeper and more psychotic part of themselves. The part they're always trying desperately to hide. I want that to become something that they cherish." Do you feel that there is a part of you that you need to hide from most people?

Umm yeah that would be my big gut lol. Ohhh you're talking deeper I think, right? I'm crazy I'm pretty sure. I think I hide it well?



5. "Love is like a brick. You can build a house, or you can sink a dead body." Have you ever held on to a relationship even though you truly knew it was already over?

Oh yeah. Over and over and over. Sometimes I wish I had a brick to throw at someone. But then that roller coaster goes slowly slowly toward the top and I start thinking it might stay up there again.



6. "Sometimes in life you don't always feel like a winner, but that doesn't mean you're not a winner, you want to be like yourself." Would your friends say that you are a winner in this game of life?

Depends on which friends. My high school best friend probably thinks I'm a total loser. My friend I've been hanging out with lately would probably lean the other way. It's all a difference of opinion. Everyone has different morals and thoughts on what a "winner" is.



7. "A glamorous life is quite different to a life of luxury. I don’t need luxury. For years, I was practically broke but I was still very vain and glamorous. And I still am." Can you tell us about a time when you were broke and yet still happy?



When Scott and I were first together before we got married we were renting this tri-plex (one unit obviously). We had to pay our rent and then basically another rent for a "pet deposit". I was making minimum wage (think it was like $4.25 then) and he was making about double that and commuting 45 minutes to work and back (although then gas was like .97 cents a gallon, talk about inflation). I remember going to the store and buying the trial size toothpaste, day old bread and tiny little box of cat food. Thank God for Mom's and their care packages.

We were young and in love and spent a lot of time having sex. God I miss the sex those days. (although I do like being able to buy a BIG tube of toothpaste ;o))



8. "I’m single right now and I’ve chosen to be single because I don’t have the time to get to know anybody. So it’s okay not to have sex, it’s okay to get to know people. I’m celibate. Celibacy’s fine." Do you think staying celibate between relationships important?

I'm so out of the "in between relationship" status I have no idea.



9. "Fight and push harder for what you believe in, you'd be surprised, you are much stronger than you think." Tell us about an incident where you were stronger than you thought you were.

The first thing that comes to mind was when Scott was in the hospital one time and they kept doing things to him that were just making him sicker and sicker. I asked if we could just leave the hospital. The Dr. proceeded to ask to talk to me in the nurses station and told me we could do what we wanted but if we left without the Dr. signing him out the insurance wouldn't pay for it. I was pretty upset but let him know that we would not be there much longer if they didn't stop fucking him over.

After that the hospital sent up someone to talk to me. I think they thought they were going to get sued.



10. "I lie in bed and try to pray and breathe. I have a very overactive mind. I’m the sort of person who’d never take medication to calm myself. It’s maddening. But I love what comes out." Do you feel that you always have the ability to calm yourself?

I think so. It might not happen immediately but I just go out and work in the yard or something and I almost always feel better. I've found that removing myself for whatever or whoever is upsetting me works wonders.

11. added by me :)

Do you wish you could walk around in your underpants and bra like Lady Gaga?




Mamma needs central heat and air

Let's just start this post by showing you this



See those little numbers on the bottom? Add about 10 degrees onto them since that is what the weather is REALLY. Yesterday it was 104 on my way home from work.

Have I mentioned before that we only have an air conditioner in our living room? It was on all day yesterday. Last night my bedroom literally felt like an oven.



So I'm laying there in my misery. Then this climbs into my bed



I tried kicking him out but he had some kind of magnetic pull to my bed.
:sigh:

Got up and the couch was already taken.
Went and got a towel and ran it under the cold water.
Went back to bed with said towel draped over my body.

ahhhhhhhhh

Woke up with an elbow in my chest.
Dog jumping on me.

Took the dog out in my nightgown, trying to stay in the backyard so no one can see me
(since we don't have a fence).

Neighbor sees me and attempts to start having a conversation. I act like I don't see him (mean I know but hello, mommy boobies in nightgown are not good!) and high tail it back into the house.

Lay back down.
Dog jumping on me.
Think about quitting my job.
Remember the husband's paycheck bouncing not too long ago.
Pull myself out of bed and into the shower.

Made it.
3 more days til Friday.

Lovely

My daughter is at a concert, (warped tour which THANK GOD this time I didn't have to go to, drive to, or supervise). She just sent me a text that this boy she's been talking to just asked her to be his girlfriend. I promptly looked him up on Facebook, showed Scott who said "oh hell no" and did a little cry inside. Great one more thing to worry about.

Then she sent me a picture.

Sigh.

A little less taxi service soon!

We've entered new territory here at Mom Taxi Julie's house.

Someone else is learning how to drive!
The driving instructor showed up
(finally after walking him through all the steps to get to our house,
gotta love living in the sticks)
on Thursday afternoon.

After he got here I realized Jess was wearing flip flops so I sent her into change her shoes.
The guy was busy on his cell phone telling the dispatcher she sent him to the wrong place.

(I wish she didn't make those goofy faces all the time now)


Melissa's watching her sister get her hour lesson before they even take off
(ok not really but they sat their forever!)


And then finally they drove off.


She had a two hour lesson.
They drove to town, in town and then back and around our neighborhood.

When they got back I asked her if he had to use his brake and she said he used it like EIGHT TIMES!!
So hopefully he was just a spaz like she said and she really wasn't driving that bad lol.

Now she thinks she has to drive everywhere we go!

Fox tails don't belong in your bra

I just realized that the reason my boob was itching was because there was a fox tail in my bra. Exciting stuff like that happens to me ALL the time.



I had a fox tail in my bra because I mowed the "yard". Which is really the empty lot next to me, the small area that I have left in the front, the driveway that the sprinkler hits and the back yard. I hope someday all that's left to mow of that is the empty lot next to me. I've almost got the big ruts filled in from when the asshole phone guy got stuck in the mud, which I THOUGHT I had blogged about but cannot find anywhere. Really I only mowed about 1/2 the field since most of it is dead.

(found pictures of the mess from the phone guy) HUGE RUTS in the yard.


Since I'm talking about the yard how about some new pictures?



View from straight on, my trees are straightening out quite a bit.


Driveway side

Down the gravel walk way from driveway

Out the front door




The neighbor has been putting out food for the goldfinches.  Aren't they cute?

not so cute is his now poop covered fence.


My half old/half new garage, Scott's working on putting on a new roof (and back wall). All the neighborhood wild life isn't going to know what to do when they can't hang out in the garage anymore.



Veggie garden



Tomatoes, squash and morning glories I need to tame before they get big



Tree which has LOTS of babies in the veggie garden. I can't wait until he's done with the garage and we can clean up that area in front of it. It will be nice to have a garage that doesn't look like a barn that's ready to collapse.

Thursday Thunks: Welcome to Summertime 2010!

Thursday Thunks: Welcome to Summertime 2010!


1. It became officially summer on Monday. What's your favorite part of winter?
Not using the A/C for a couple months

2. What was your worst summer vacation ever?
When I was a kid, about 14 I guess, we went to Columbia in our station wagon.




That looked kind of like this one minus the wood on the side. That would be my mom and dad and 2 brothers (probably about the ages of 5 and 7) and me in the back. My dad had put a seat belt in the back so I didn't have to sit with my 2 brothers, who took turns trying to kill eachother and/or me. The ride started out ok if I remember correctly, but somewhere about the time we hit the foothills the car started to overheat (cronic problem with that car). We all had to GET OUT on the side of the road and sit and wait for the car to cool off. Did I mention that it was about 110 outside? Fast forward an hour or so and we finally get to our destination. It was hot. It was dirty. We went on a REALLY BUMPY stage coach ride and I freaking hated the whole thing. I'm sure that had something to do with my age. On the way home the car started acting up AGAIN and we ended up spending the night at this little inn that my parents went to occassionally.  All 5 of us in a room with a double bed.

I still haven't been back to that place.
3. Kimber's husband just got the dream job that he's hoped for. So a big shout out to her and Anthony! Tell us about the best job that you ever had.
My favorite place to work is the fabric store. That is where I got my first job. The hours suck, you always have to work holidays, they don't pay much but it's a fun job. Most people aren't in a fabric store because they hate to sew and have to.  Except on Halloween.

4. Who is probably talking a load of crap about you right now?
Maybe the pastor's wife. I had to go to a meeting at the church that my daughter likes to go to youth group at for a "parent's meeting" for a camp that she's been to about 4 times. I thought it was all a huge waste of time and probably sounded like a heathen while I was sitting there.

5. An alien appears and offers you the opportunity to repeat one year of your life. You will still know everything that you know now. He explains that no matter what you do differently, when you are returned to the present nothing will have changed. What year would you pick and why?
1992. The year I graduated from high school  AND the last year of no REAL responsibility.  I'd be so partying it up!!

6. Name three things you have on you at all times. Explain why.
Phone, self explanitory
Belt, can't ever keep my pants up
Contacts or Glasses, since I'm blind

7. When was the last time you wrote a letter to someone on paper and mailed it?
So long ago I don't remember. I don't even mail bills anymore. I can hardly write either. I'm so used to typing everything now.

8. If you could have everyone in the blogosphere read just one of your posts, which post would you pick and why?
Hmmm not sure, this one is ok :)

9. I recently read that the music industry continues to decline at an alarming rate. In the last year it said the sales of Michael Jackson's and The Beatles' music are the only artists who sales continue to climb. The article stated that the two are holding up the industry. Have you bought a CD or mp3 of either artist recently?
Nope. I have most of the Beatles CD's that my husband bought me over the years on my Iphone. I haven't listened to any MJ stuff on purpose since the early 90's.

10. What radio ad right now do you find so annoying that you'd rather have a tooth drilled than hear it again?
Anything to do with politics.
11. Berleen walks into a bar on a hot Minnesota day. At the bar sits a priest, a rabbi and a minister. A ten foot duck walks into the bar right after Berleen. What drink do you think Berleen orders?
Hopefully some Kessler and Diet Coke so she can share with me.

12. There is a knock on your door. It can be anyone in the world. Who would you want it to be?
My Grandma! (the nice one)

13. What would be the worst entertainment or sporting that you could be forced to watch?
Probably Golf. It's pretty boring on tv.

Awesome Zucchini Muffins

My friend from work gave me 2 huge yellow zucchini(s) a few weeks ago. She said they were only good for bread since they were so big. Over the weekend I made 4 loaves out of the first zucchini.

Yesterday I was looking for a recipe that used Bisquick for some zucchini muffins and I found this one.

Bisquick Zucchini Bread

2 C. Bisquick Mix {1 3/4 c. flour, 1 tsp baking powder, 1/3 tsp salt 1/3 c. vegetable shorting (blend until      crumbly)}
1 1/2 C. Shredded Zucchini (1 medium)
3/4 C. Sugar
1/4 C. Vegetable Oil
3 Eggs
1 tsp. Vanilla
2 tsp. Cinnamon
1 tsp. Nutmeg
1/2 C. Chopped Nuts (or raisins-yuck)


bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes for the muffins

Instead of following the directions I just threw it all in the bowl and stirred it up. When I was putting it in the muffin pans I remembered that I forgot to put in the walnuts. So I just put them on top and pushed them in a tiny bit.

The results? OMG they were so good!


cell phone picture, too lazy to get the card reader at work

I had 2 when they were done and it's a good thing I got them then because this morning?

They are all gone.

Better than phone pictures, finally.

So I finally did it! I got a new camera today! I think I'm going to strap it to myself so that my children can't get their grimey little hands on it and break it.

Like the last one.

I FINALLY have some better pictures for the blog.


Although now I'm going to have to scrub the grout.


Look at how big my dog is now.
He's barely even a puppy anymore.
Doesn't he look like he's saying
"CHEESE"
               


Be prepared for a lot of garden pictures
(my sunflower is  huge already!)



and kids squinting at me when I catch them looking in the sun.



I don't think I've even shared any of my vegetable garden pictures yet.
Look!
My first strawberry!



And my kids have grown about 3 feet since last time
I had a decent picture of them.
I can't believe he's going to be in 2nd grade already.

What kind of camera do you have?
What's your favorite subject to take pictures of?


I request a longer weekend next week!

This weekend went by WAY too fast. Saturday we spent the day at my brother's house swimming and bbq'ing and celebrating my youngest brother's birthday.


Check out the the awesome fish tank my brother put into the wall.


We spent a lot of time with my niece this weekend. Jess had to get her mirror picture with her.


My nephew and Trevor. My nephew is older by 10 weeks lol


Me and my twinn doll

Then we went back on Sunday and did it all over again for Father's day. (minus the husband since he decided he wanted to go to his parents. Kind of weird that he celebrated father's day without his kids)

They spent hours seeing how many times they could hit the ball without it hitting the ground/pool.

Loving these long summer days

Look at my baby's poor nose.
It's all scabbed up from being sunburnt. He was with my mom for a few days and she took him swimming over at my brother's house and apparently didn't put any sunscreen on him. Hopefully it will return to normal!

Doesn't he have the biggest eyes?

Yesterday was a pretty busy day. After work I attempted to work out in the yard a bit but it was way too hot so I didn't do much but dead head some of my shasta daisies. I have been saving some of the seeds from my plants to attempt to grow more later. Not sure if that will work or not. We will see I guess!

Scott came home early yesterday and we rushed over to the county office to get a permit for our garage roof. I didn't really think we would get there before they closed but we made it with half an hour to spare. It only cost us $107 so not too bad. Now we are all legal.

After that we went to Home Depot real quick and then to the grocery store. It was just Scott and I and while he was bagging up the groceries (we go to the cheap bag them yourselves store) I joked that he better be careful or I'm going to make him come with me all the time. Then I told him that could be our new date night. Grocery shopping! There's a sign you've been married forever lol.

We made dinner when we got home, gotta love those grilling nights, and then Jess was begging to go out and practice driving. I told her we could go if she did the dishes, which she did lickety-split. Gotta love the new bargaining power I have! She drove around all over the club. She's itching to go somewhere that she can go over 20 miles an hour now haha.

While we were out driving I saw a neighbor of my mom who is always telling me I should come over and hang out (she only comes on weekends and occassional days in the summer), so after I dropped Jess off and regained control of my keys I went over and sat on her front porch with her and her friends for a few hours. She's one of those really easy to talk to people. Might have helped that they had been drinking all day too :wink:

I don't have anything planned for today other than dropping Jessica off at her friend's house. Who knows what we'll find to do!

Snakes, Hiking, And Shirt Colors

I'm a little late but here is  this weeks Thursday Thunks




Welcome to the June 17th edition of Thursday Thunks!

1. Have you ever wondered why snakes can't slither backwards?
Nope, can't say I have. I don't think much about snakes at all unless I'm walking in tall grass.
2. Is divorce contagious?
I think people that have divorce in their family work harder at NOT getting divorced. I come from a "broken home" although they were divorced before I could walk. It sucked having all the going here and there crap.
3. Do you enjoy hiking?
I like the IDEA of hiking. I haven't actually attempted to hike in quite a few years.
4. Is there a color of a shirt a man should just never wear?
My husband refuses to wear pink and baby blue. Just as long as it's not full of holes it's ok with me.
5. Have you read a news story this week that just made your blood boil?
I haven't been watching or reading the news much lately but I do know about the oil problem and it's really really sad how much wildlife is going to die from it.
6. Do you keep old business cards or name tags from companies you have worked for?
When I got laid off I shredded my business cards. Along with just about everything else in my desk. I don't have any business cards now since I've been back. I don't really need them anyways.
7. If you could save an endangered species, which one would it be?
At work I actually make endangered species maps for the farmers properties. A common one around here is the tri-colored blackbird.



Aren't they pretty? A girl at work said she went out to one place and the farm workers had been shooting them because supposively they were eating the farmers crops.
8. When is it warm enough outside for you to start wearing shorts?
I live in California so pretty much if it's not raining we wear shorts or capri pants.9. Have you ever broken a window?
Ummm yeah actually I have. My friend and I, when we were in high school cleaned a few houses to earn some money. I was cleaning the window when it suddenly CRACKED. I didn't tell anyone and the people asked later if I did it and I lied through my teeth. Still feel bad about that.
10. Do dogs in your neighborhood howl when they hear sirens from police cars or fire trucks?
Yep, my neighbor has 3 dogs and they have supersonic siren sounders. I personally have never had a howling dog.
11. Have you tried doing something as an adult that you used to be able to do as a kid?
Roller coasters. I cannot do roller coasters anymore. Totally freaking sucks because they were so much fun. Sucks getting old.



The make me all pukey.

A Bit of This And A Little Of That

So do you watch The Last Comic Standing? I've caught a few episodes lately. I love comedy, and after watching that show I can think of so many things to blog about. I need to start writing them down. Afterall, being a mom is it's own little comedy show isn't it? You might not be able to laugh about it NOW but it sure is going to be funny when you think about it later.

Like the time when Jessica was a few years old and we went to Hometown Buffet. We had just paid, got our food and sat down when she started projectile vomiting.

At the table.

I tried catching it with a cup, but of course it went in the cup, around the cup, on the table, on the floor. We had to get up (moritified) and leave without even eating and leaving a trail of puke behind us. I thought for sure I was going to die of embarrassment and felt so bad about the mess we left behind.

Then there was the time that we were in Wal Mart and Trevor ALSO decided to start throwing up. While we were in line. In a fit of panic I spotted a garbage can and was able to drag it over. Also some paper towels by an empty register. As I was trying to get him to the bathroom to clean him up a bit, who do I see? The uppity uppity PTA running mom from the school.

Don't mind us, we just have puke all over.

In other non-pukey news, check out my first ever home grown vegetable. Or is is a fruit? Isn't that a lifetime debate about a tomato?

Yes, it's small. But it's brothers and sisters look like they are going to be a lot bigger. I haven't eaten it yet, I was saving it to share with Trevor, since it was his idea to buy a tomato plant in the first place.

Have you all seen that site http://www.shitmykidsruined.com/ (hopefully that's right I can't go there at work, stupid filter). I think I need to start one with crapmydogruined. Not a day goes by without him doing something. This was 2 days ago.



Yesterday he ate Scott's A's hat. This morning he was ON THE KITCHEN TABLE eating out of the cat food bowl. Which by the way, is on the table so the dog can't get to it. I guess I'm going to have to rethink that. Oh and the other day? He chewed up a FLASHLIGHT. Yeah.


Last weekend we went to my brother's house to use his pool hang out. It was about 100. Summer is upon us! My other brother, his wife and my niece showed up after a bit. My kids just LOVE their little cousin.


Monday Jess got her PERMIT. My days of being a Mom Taxi might just slow down a little bit come December when she can actually get her license. My smart girl only missed 3 on the permit test. She has her behind the wheel training in about a week and then she can drive with us. I let her drive down the street and around the corner a couple of times now. So far we haven't died.

Kids growing up is scary!

Hopefully you all have been clicking on my adverstising thing that is showing the "hot guys". Damn. Mamma needs to buy her kids some new clothes. Trevor's had to wear some old elastic waist shorts that were in the back of the drawer because I haven't had time to take him shopping.

I'm taking a "personal health day" tomorrow. If I don't have a day off I think I might snap. I've felt so stressed out all week about leaving my kids home while I go to work. Big guilty feelings that I'm being a bad mom. Which I know I'm not because HELLO I'm going to WORK because they can't stop growing for 5 minutes.

Not to mention that I need to take Jessica in to take her test to get her driver's permit. Nothing motivates me more to get her in to do that than having to drive her everywhere under the freaking sun. But to tell you the truth, having her driving scares the crap out of me. I'm so worried that she's going to get in a car accident.  I see a subscription for Xanax in my future.

To freak me out even more Jessica's friend was in a car accident the other day. Her mom was driving her and her sister to the movies. Jessica tried to get a ride with them but for some reason that wasn't working out. Scott took her and a little after they left she sent me a message that they weren't going to the movies now since the friend was in a car accident. This car?



Now looks like this

Thank God no one was seriously hurt. The girl that was sitting in the back where they were hit had a cut up foot. Everyone else just had bruises. Lucky aren't they?

So yeah, I'm not too excited for Jess to drive when I think of things like that happening. BUT I will have so much more time when I'm not waiting around for her and driving her around all over. I'll just wrap her up in some bubble wrap I think.

Have you ever been in a car accident?

If

If your mom asks you what time you want to be picked up and you say 7:30, don't get pissy if she texts you at 7:25 and tells you she's there. That just means don't take your sweet ass time coming out to the car.

If your boyfriend breaks up with you and you cry to your mom, DON'T let her call your now ex-boyfriend's mom and complain. You will be laughed at by everyone.

If you are the ex boyfriend's mom, don't make your son write a letter explaining why he's breaking up. He's 16, that's what they do.

If your talking to someone at work and they keep asking you what? did you say? they are probably tuning you out because your annoying.

If you take a nasty stinky dump please close the door, light a match, a candle, say a prayer. SOMETHING.

If you are going to go see Sex In The City 2, DON'T. Wait for the $1 movie boxes or netflix or whatever.

If you have a teenager stock up on alcohol. You're going to need it.

Thursday Thunks



Welcome to the June 10th edition of Thursday Thunks!

Driver's Ed. Demon #1 is taking it right now. Did you pass your driver's test the first time you took it?

Ummm nooo I didn't. You know how some left turn lights have arrows and some don't? Well I didn't realize the difference until I ALMOST started to go and the instructor flipped out and failed me. DAMMIT. I was almost done too. Of course in classic teenager style I blamed it all on my MOM because she never let me drive to practice. Nice move huh?

My first car was a 1980 Pontiac Sunbird (in 1991 or so). It was lemon yellow. For a reason. here's what it looked like only mine was a light yellow.



And mine had wheel covers that would randomly fall off when you went around the corner. THREE wheel covers. They liked to fly off in busy intersections. I don't know why I bothered going back for them.


You are sitting outside on your deck in your comfy lawn chair, feet are up and the temp outside is perfect. There are no bugs to bite you and ruin the night... it's peaceful and all you can hear is the birds singing and an occasional cricket. Whats in your hand?

Probably my phone. I always sit outside like that and play on my phone. Sad lol.


How many graduation parties and weddings do you have to attend this summer? Ok.. how many are you invited to?

NONE. Yes we have no friends.



There is no other choice in the matter - you must transform into a different race, but the catch is that you get to pick which race. What will you now be?

I'm pretty awesome already don't you think?



Someone once said that the grass isn't greener on the other side... are you jealous of your neighbor's lawn?

Nope! I ripped most of my lawn out. I like my yard better.




Bud is walking along a beach barefooted and steps on a piece of glass buried deep in the sand. His foot is bleeding... does he cry, swear or stomp around on his other foot?

Does he have a beer? If he hops too much he might spill his beer. And I told the kids they can't play at the playground without their shoes on. People are always breaking beer bottles on the playground and they WILL cut their foot.

I'm gonna take you fishing... are you going to be a whiney baby and not bait your own hook and when you catch a fish am I gonna have to take it off the hook for you?

Oh I'm going to WHINE. Fishing is SO BORING. Seriously. I have no problem staying home while you go fish your little heart out. Just make sure and take the kids with you.

From a Facebook friend: When asked what would you bring with you to a deserted island, why doesn't anyone answer "a boat"?

Because they are too busy thinking of someone they want to have sex with on the deserted island.



Hamburger buns - sesame seeds or not?

If it's for me I'll take the fancy ones with seeds.

From Demon #1: Whats your favorite flavor of water?

I got a Sobe water the other day. It was Fuji Apple Cranberry. Only 15 calories for the whole thing and it didn't have any artificial sweeteners in it. I recently quit drinking sodas so I'm always trying to find something that is good to drink that might not kill me and/or not have 40 cubes worth of sugar in it.

Eclipse is coming out this month... are you going to see it?
Nope, but my 11 year old is. Midnight showing with her friend and her friend's mom. Have fun!
