Don't go and see The Stepford Wives remake. Truly bad. We went last night as part of G's birthday treat. It was great to get out (D happily stayed with a babysitter) - we went for Thai food at our favourite Thai place, and met up with some friends there. The food was awesome and everyone really enjoyed it. One friend had brought a cake for G & he was very touched by the whole evening surprise. After dinner - the movie. I also discovered that sitting for however many hours in a cinema chair when you're 8+something months pregnant is really difficult, especially if you're extremely full up from eating too much food. Also the movie wasn't too gripping so my concentration was more focussed on my discomfort and the continual dropping of my busted wallet and losing of my credit cards that I managed to do throughout the movie.
Today have been running some errands - got my car cleaned (in and out) and had my eyebrows waxed. This whole 'beauty' routine is funny, I've never been into it until recently and I can see why people spend so much time and effort (and money) on it because once you start you seem to need to go again more often. The problem for me is I find it mostly extremely tedious. I don't get much in the way of enjoyment from lying there while my face is pummelled or sitting for hours watching my toe nail polish dry. I know many people do enjoy it, but I don't..... I don't even like getting my hair done because I get stir crazy sitting for hours waiting for it to be coloured or whatever. Still, I suppose we must suffer to be gorgeous, and it's worthwhile making a small effort during pregnancy when the rest of my body is so big and icky! My cousin was saying she had a fake tan done the other day, by a beautician. I couldn't face having anyone SEE my body right now, let alone touch it!
