(i had my settings off on my camera so lets all pretend this is....a newspaper photo...ha!)
she had a great birthday.
so grateful and sweet.
she wanted ice cream sundaes but i had to get at least one cupcake.
we watched one of her favorite movies after dinner.
i like that kid a whole bunch.
we had a girls day just the two of us yesterday.
she used her birthday money (and her allowance...she is a saver) for some cute clothes.
i loved watching her pick stuff out.
she and i are finding our way.
me saying "it's ok to not like what i like" when we disagree.
or when she says "do you like it?" with a big smile then OF COURSE i like it.
i want her to form her own opinions...have confidence in herself and her choices.
i am so proud of her when she does.
and she is pretty darn cute.

so...i got to see Flight on monday.
holy cows.
it is definitely rated R.
it was... hard to watch? very real? very grown up? intense? but seriously... SOOOOO good.
ha ha ha
it stuck with me.
but i can't quite figure out why....
and no spoilers in the comment section.
i don't want people getting mad at me!
the couple sitting next to us...they were talkers.
"oh no he didn't" "oh no...don't do it" "GASP!!!"
AND she sang the words to a whole song that was on the movie!
seriously.
and the school called craig at the very last 4 minutes of the movie.
so he missed the ending.
craaaaazy.
