Yesterday, my sister and I went to market. We bumped into an old friend, who works in seafood. He sells me two pounds of sockeye salmon--the best Alaskan salmon I've ever tasted and quite expensive I might add--for less than what I usually pay for a pound and a half of white tiger shrimp...CHEAP!!
So today I make this great Sunday dinner with one of the sockeyes(they are that big.) I call Selah in to eat. Put the salmon and vegetable linguine sautee that I prepared to go with it on her favorite Hello Kitty plate.
She starts to eat and puts her fork down. "Mama, I can't eat this."
"Why?" I ask.
"Because if I eat this fish it'll be like me eating IceCream(her goldfish.) I could never eat my fish. That's sad."
Now I'm shocked. First of all. She's wasting good sockeye. Two. She just hit a cognitive skill milestone for her age. And three. We've watched Dear Frankie way too many times.
And guess what? As I am typing right now, she's bringing the DVD in here for us to watch it again. And what's even funnier? We both love to watch the same scene-the aquaruim scene. I like watching Gerard Butler in easy view; She likes watching the cute fish. Go figure. :)

Dee, thanks so much for visiting and commenting on my blog! It's obvious the two of us have a lot in common---a love of God, Christian fiction and Gerard Butler!?!
I haven't seen "Dear Frankie" yet. My sister and I are both huge GB fans; I'm going to see her in Texas in a couple of weeks, so we'll definitely have to check it out!
Oh, and you're going on my blogroll right now. :)
I'm happy. GB does that to me. Now I have a friend I can talk to about it. My fiancee, Gaspard, thinks he's all that and gravy because he has a french accent. At this point he thinks that I'm just into indie movies and scifi. It hadn't dawned on him that I watched Reign of Fire with him just to see GB. And my fascination with Timeline has nothing to do with French history, but GB's fifteen minutes in the movie.:)
I love "Timeline"! Somehow I missed it when it was first out, but after falling in love with GB in "Phantom," my daughter and I found it in a 5-dollar bin at Wal-Mart. You're right--Butler is one of the best things about the movie, but I do think it's an entertaining movie. We watched it with my husband, my brother-in-law and two teen-aged nephews, and they really enjoyed it! BTW, that Scottish accent just melts me.
In the $5 bin at Walmart. Oh, man...I never check those bins. Now I have to. :)
