another road trip...

but this isn't to collect wayward children. this is to welcome someone new into the world...

within the next 24 hours, probably less, a family member will arrive, and I'll be taking off pretty soon to be there when it happens...

been waiting on this for a bit, 9 months give or take a few. can't wait to post an update...

in the meantime, Bob, the girls and I took in a movie this afternoon. Star Trek is truly a great action flick, and I'm not even a Star Trek fan...

well, not the original series. DS9 and Voyager are fine, and I can sit through later season TNG. especially once the cast has collars. uniforms without collars is like Voyager without Seven of Nine. pretty...

well, not so wonderful. but this movie, okay. this was GOOD...

no more William Shatner. uh, yeah. that's really about it. fabulous visuals, intriguing story, although the villain was lame. (I say that with the backing of my family and as a writer. you need a good bad guy...)

but it's overlooked, because mostly this was the set-up for future films. introduce the characters, and what introductions! Simon Pegg as Scotty... oh goodness but he should have had more screen time...

so, not much writing going on, however.... I did edit this AM as Thea slept. and slept and slept. that girl, off school (or on even) boy can she sleep! I plowed through five chapters of Through the Glass, and depending upon when I get home tomorrow, I'll do some more.

unless I'm holding a newborn. or sleeping...

It was a good movie. Although I have to admit, alternate time things tend to mess with my head a bit...

It's so exciting waiting for a new baby to arrive.

I must see Star Trek as I've only heard good things about it and love Simon Pegg.

I rarely go to movies anymore, but I confess that I went to see this one twice! I feel like such a geek :))

Another geeky confession - when I was in the 3rd or 4th grade, me and a couple of my friend used to play "Star Trek" during recess. I think most of it was just wondering around "a new planet" and making weird sounds like a communicator. I DID grow out of it...thank goodness :))
