Gran Torino

Yup - I blew off work this afternoon and went to a matinee (sometimes, I really love my job). It was a rare "Dahlia-free" afternoon as Steve had taken her out to his Dad's with him.

Sometimes I really just like going to movies by myself. I don't know why and wouldn't feel the same way about live theater, but sometimes a movie is just the thing. I didn't have a lot of options, especially for when I wanted to go, but I wanted to see GRAN TORINO so it worked out fine with me.

I love Clint Eastwood. I would not mess with him. I'm not going to "review" the film but I will say this. I liked it. I liked the pace of it (although, it did take me a while to get into) and while I had a pretty good idea going in on how it would turn out, I was surprised by a few things. I enjoyed it.

and IT'S A GIRL!! I'll do a proper introduction later and the whole story and everything but in the meantime, we had a baby girl. 2:15pm on Friday afternoon (I posted at, what? 10;30am? You do the math!!). Her name is Dahlia Marie and she weighed in at a whopping 6lbs even. 19 1/4" long and so incredibly gorgeous (although, I might be a wee bit biased). The birth was the most amazing experience I've ever been through and my mind is still, well, blown, quite frankly. I am so tired though...time for a quick nap before we try to feed again.

Privacy, please!

Well, the time has come. After 6 1/2 years (!?) Naturally Optimistic will be going private at the start of the new year. If you are interested in still reading my INCREDIBLY exciting posts & commenting on my cute children, email me & I will put you on the invite list. Like I said - it won't happen for another couple weeks, but there ya go. Time to make a change. I'm kind of sad because I've met some cool people - randomly - by having this blog....but the phase of putting all my stuff out there for everyone to read is over. Thanks!
