Gary Oldman (Sirius Black in HP) is on his fourth wife.  Every time he gets married, his wives get younger and younger.

Wife # 1 - Leslie Manville (87-90)  born in 1956.

Wife # 2 - Uma Therman (90-92) born in 1970

Wife #3 - Donya Fiorentino (97-01) born in 1967

Wife #4 - Alexandra Edenborough -(08-present)  born in 1977

#3 is a bit off, at three years older than wife #2.

Anywho - not that this has anything to do with me, I just found it interesting.

If it was me, I think I would say, “You’ve been married HOW many times?”  And I probably wouldn’t continue to date them.  Much less marry them, thinking “Well, maybe I’ll be different than the other three.”  Yeah, right.   I’m one to think that marriage is for life.  And you should work at it - and you can’t just say, “Right, well, this isn’t working.  See ya!”

But is expecting to be married only once suddenly old fashioned?

7 - the time at which I’ve been waking up every morning.  That doesn’t mean I get out of bed - I usually just take my thyroid pill and try to fall back asleep.  And it’s not from my alarm - my body just wakes up then

6 - the number of dollars I spent this morning at the flea market on fresh produce. Apples, Red potatoes, garlic, and butternut squash

20 - the number of minutes I spent outside raking leaves.  I got tired of it quickly!

3 - the number of mini wine bottles I scored from Steph & Mike’s wedding because two were forgotten in my car by other people

4 - the number of scarves I’ve knitted so far for the Nancy Project.  A fundraiser we’re doing for the library.

7 - the months pregnant that Stephanie is (who got married last night).  I found out she was pregnant on Friday!  I’m a bad friend, and haven’t seen her in ages. (she moved from 10 minutes away, to 45 minutes away)

6 - the number, in hours, I spend on Skype with Barny today.  That included time when I was knitting, doing things around the house, or watching TV with my parents.  I’ve been awake for 14 hours so far.

10 - the number of old magazines I gave away using FreeCycle.  I LOVE when people “want” things, and I have the things they need!

400 - the number on the back of my dad’s new Dodge 400 Convertible that I got to ride around in today - with the top DOWN!

10 - the time at which I am going up to bed.  It is nice and warm up there under the many covers.  G’Night!

I have never before wanted a TV exercise thing before.  But for some reason, I REALLY want “The Wave.”  I especially like at 30 seconds, it looks like you can “run” on it! (in the video below)

I watched some home videos on YouTube of people using it, and it seems a lot more “plastic-y” than I thought.

But it seems that Miz Fit (a crazy fit lady who has a blog that I sometimes read) likes it - so that’s a good endorsement!

The other thing that I want is a thigh master!

Thoughts?  Do any of you have any crazy infomercial fitness gear?
