I have salt underneath my fingernails...

because I have salt lining the bottom of my purse. Did I not mention that David makes me carry a Popcorn Salt shaker in my purse everytime we go to the movies? He likes the popcorn more than the movie most of the time so he likes it perfect and that perfection can only be reached by doing the mid-bag salt. Anyway no matter how careful I am the top always comes off and I get salt EVERYWHERE. Anyway let me describe our Friday night venture to the movies it was priceless.

We had to go to Target first to pick up somethings so of course I get some candy to snack on during the movie. Well on the way to the movie I've brilliantly decided to take the candy out of the square boxes so it could all fit in my purse. So I zip it up and get out of the car. Just as we're walking away from the car David goes to lock it and our conversation went something like this:
D-Lock it.
S-I don't have the keys
D-Yes, you do I JUST gave them to you
S-No you didn't.
We walk back to the car and he starts to look under his seat.
D-Sam quit being a tard just give me the keys.
At this point he's nervous because it's gone past the playful I'm hiding the keys game.
S- I DON'T have the keys I zipped up my purse with all the candy in it and haven't opened it since.
I am also refusing to open my purse and look b/c I'm positive I'm right.
We argue a bit longer while both becoming increasingly frustrated so I open my purse just to prove I'm right and sure enough right on top of all that candy I am about to sneak in the theatre are the car keys. I was in complete shock. I looked up at David and handed him the keys totally embarassed. He laughed and looked at me pitifully. He couldn't even stay frustrated for a second b/c he realized I really had no recollection of putting those keys in my purse. It really was a sad way for me to figure out I'm losing it. David just kept hugging me telling me "it's okay". I will gladly take the pregnant brain excuse here.

And I brought a water bottle in with my sweater. So as we're buying popcorn and nachos ( we skipped dinner for this reason) the teenager at the counter says, "Is that all - nothing to drink?" I looked down with possibly the most guilty look that can be provoked from the snackstand worker at the movie theatre. So I asked for a cup of ice water.

Anyway after ALL of that we saw Dan In Real Life. It was really well done. I couldn't picture Steve Carell playing a believable father figure after watching him on the Office for so long but he was excellent. I would give it a solid A-.

Yep, pregnancy does those kinds of things. When I was pregnant I tried to make baking powder biscuits with baking soda, they tasted so awful and I kept getting so frustrated that I made them 3 times in one day until I finally called the girl who gave me the recipe...needless to say I felt pretty dumb! Yours is a Classic story though, and classic that you carry the salt shaker!
