Blog Challenge Day 23 - If You Won the Lottery...

"If I had a million dollars..."

If I won...

-I would buy my dream house, an old single story house with a lot of character, lovely natural light and a good backyard. We'd fix it up to be very eco-consious with materials for flooring and counter tops, appliances and of course solar panels. We'd also get chickens and have a great garden and compost set up.

- I would pay off all our debt

- I would keep working, but only part time and be able to spend a lot of time with Sam

- We would travel all around the world

- I would help out our families

- I would get some kick ass tattoos

- I would eat at some awesome restaurants

- I would buy all organic foods

- I would buy a brand new wardrobe

- And then whatever is left, because there will be, it would all go towards saving for us and for Sam

Sam & Suzy This Week

hanging out at the car dealership

Oh our monthly cold! Thankfully it's not that bad as they have been in the past. I'm going to say we are getting stronger. RAWR! But we had a bad night on Tuesday and I just put Sam straight into bed with me because sleep was more important for everyone.

Other than that things are awesome. I swear I love this boy more and more with each day. I was having a rough moment at lunch time today and I almost started crying because I just wanted to be with Sam.

Sam:
Rob taught Sam how to clap over the weekend! Awww. But he only really claps for Rob. Rob's also been helping Sam with crawling. And since the weekend, he really moves around now! He's not crawling, but more of a zombie/army crawl. We now have to watch him all the time!

Oh and mommy and Sam have a thing, if I hold out my pointer finger and make this silly noise, he takes his pointer finger and touches it to mine. So cute!


Suzy:
We are at 5 days of no breastfeeding! It's going well I think. Sometimes I think Sam is crabby in the morning because I'm not breastfeeding him, but other than that...I don't think he really notices. My mood at been all right. I have been a bit crabby and tired, but I also have been sick. Today I was particularly moody and frazzled.

Running is going good though. Last Sunday I ran my furthest of 5 miles! I need to stop complaining so much before I run though, that's not good, too much negativity. You should've heard me on Sunday, it was pathetic....all these excuses. And you know what? I get to 5 miles and I'm in a great mood and I felt like I could keep going. Silly Suzy!

Blog Challenge Day 19 - Your Favorite Movie

image from here

My favorite movie is The Fifth Element. You'd think after almost 20 years, I'd have a new favorite, but nope, I still love this movie to pieces! And surprisingly, it still holds up to all the other flashy movies that have come after it.

I love everything about this movies. I love the story. I love the quirky humor and the timing on many of it's funniest moments. Each actor fits their role perfectly. I mean, Chris Tucker, perfect! And the costumes! I love that Jean Paul Gaultier did the costumes, it's so him! I could listen the the soundtrack over and over.

It's one of the few movies Rob and I enjoy watching often together. We'll quote it constantly. "Multi pass! Multi pass!!"

omg, you can beat this!!
