Our ultrasound went great. We didn’t find out what we were having, all the parts are in place and measuring right and all of that, and we got some profile and face shots that I’ll scan in later. I’m a bad mama, since I looked at the non-profile one and had no idea what it WAS, until dave was like "that’s a FACE, gretchen." Oh, yeah. Now I see it. (In my defense, he had time to study it while I was de-gooping and stuff.)

So, yeah, I have a FACE IN ME. Weird.

Dave went to work, and I took a nap, and then Andy called, and he and I went to lunch and then rejoiced in the miracle of the renovation and reopening of the cheap seats theater.  The previous owner went bankrupt, and they’ve been closed for MONTHS, and today was the first day they were open again. We just happened tonotice that the sign had been changed and updated, and we were 2 of a handful of people that were there in the afternoon. It looks a ton better, and the prices are still low (lower than the last place, although the $2.50 tickets may be an introductory price for now, but they will STILL be the ‘cheap seats,’ offering second-run movies.)  The snack prices are about the same, also low, and I’m totally excited.  The cheap seats are right around the corner from my house, and for what I’d pay for a ticket at the first run theater (which isn’t a super-great theater), I can get a ticket, AND lemonade and a popcorn.  I’ve never done movie snacks except at the cheap seats, and I’ve totally missed it. (I only got water today, since we’d just had lunch.)

We watched Jarhead, which was really great, and I figured out which parts I needed to turn away from pretty easily (Basically, puking, burning feces, and branding) and even cried a bit at the end, when they showed what the soldiers were doing int he present-day, since it’s easy to forget they are everywhere, I think. 

After that, came home, Dave and Matt are hanging out in the basement, I’m watching the news an surfing the web and all is good.

And there’s a FACE IN THERE!
