This morning I got up at 7 just like I always do, shuffled Kirstin into the bathroom, and sent her upstairs to get dressed. Then the very sleepy Forest asked if I had two minutes to snuggle on the couch. I love that he asks me for these things. He is an incredibly comfy person to snuggle with. He has these great pects and shoulders that are muscular enough to make a nice firm pillow. He also has this innate magical ability to doze off if he sits still for five minutes, and along with that he has a proven talent for dragging me of to sleep with him. I don't know if it's the sound of his breathing or the rocking of his chest, or the way he somehow pets my hair while he's asleep. It's like cuddle-drugs, and I'm defenseless against them. So of course the next time I opened my eyes it was 8:10! I hadn't even showered yet. I'm supposed to be at work at 8:30 every morning. Kirstin had to be dropped at school because she missed her bus. It's a 20-minute drive to Okemos from Kirstin's school. Needless to say I was late, and so was my hypnotic suggestive sweetie. He's adorable, but I have got to figure out how to cuddle while maintaining some grasp on reality.
Speaking of things unreal, we watched Chasing Amy last night. I had forgotten what a good movie that was. It was Forest's first viewing of it, and he cried.
He had seen Clerks before, but none of the other View Askew shows, so I have been on a mission. Last week I showed him Mallrats, which he thought was hilarious. So much so, as a matter of fact, that he showed up yesterday with a T-shirt gift for me. It's got a stylized Jay and Silent Bob flying through the air, and it says "Fly, fat ass, fly!"
I can't wait until Dogma comes out in November. I think it's going to be a great movie. The web site is awesome, and even has Kevin Smith's diary on it. I'm a sucker for that stuff.
I'm starving. I think I'm going to take an early lunch today. Bye bye!
