So, Travis and Anya decided to head out today, leaving me at home with Chance. Now, while I should probably spending this time vacuuming and cleaning up a bit, I decided a better use of my time alone was to read some of my new book Travis got me for my birthday, called The Host and search through some new recipes online. The vacuuming can wait til tomorrow.
Anya has been all about Daddy today so I’m sure she was excited to go out with just him. She’s really becoming quite the Daddy’s girl, but she still runs to Amma occasionally too. Yes, Anya still calls me Amma and we have encouraged it, because, well…we like it. Its different and its totally unique to Anya.
Travis and I watched What Happens in Vegas the other night and we were not that impressed. Sadly, there are not many choices in movies these days out on the rental shelves. The movie was cute and predictable though, just nothing that really stood out to us.
We watched The Illusionist again today during lunch while Anya was playing a computer game and I still love that movie. Edward Norton is such an incredible actor. I could watch him put up wallpaper and I bet it’d be more interesting than some of the movies we have seen as of late.
Watching The Illusionist made me think about how I would have liked to have been a magician. However, that’s not something we really think about or strive to be when we are young. Yes, all children enjoy a magic show, but I did not really understand the concept of being a magician when I was little. Once I started performing a bit of magic tricks though I saw just how amazing this craft is. Houdini was my original inspiration for reading and getting into magic, but I never really pursued it very much. I have a couple of card tricks, coin tricks, and scarf tricks that I can perform and one day that will come in handy if Anya or little peanut wants a magician’s birthday party or something!
