April 2009 Archives

Earlier this week our own Amanda headed off to London to interview some of the stars involved with the brand new Star Trek movie. She saw it last week - we're insanely jealous - and then on Monday, she got to sit down in Claridges Hotel with Chris Pine and Zacharay Quinto who play the young Kirk and Spock respectively.

 

Following that highlight, she got to chat with the legendary JJ Abrams, formerly most famous for having created the hit TV show Lost (amongst many other great things ie working on the likes of Fringe, Cloverfield, Alias, Mission:Impossible III).

A kid story from Sandra

Well hello,
I listen every morning, and when I heard that I have a chance to tell you some of the storys of my middle child.
Kaci, is now 3 and since the day she could walk and talk she was completly different to our eldest girl, Jessie. who is a really princess. Which was a shock to our system cos Jessie had been so quiet.
So where do I start...........
Since we moved to the country from Dublin, they are both amazed with all the animals around. In the field behind the house is sheep and in the field beside us is cows.
One morning when we look out the sitting room window, there was a huge cow grazing on the grass in our front garden. I got a little panic cos I had to leave to go out and I was a little afraid incase the car would frighten her.
So I rang my husband, but he was busy so he said he would ring back. The next thing was the the phone rang, thinking it was the hubby I let Kaci answer to tell her Daddy about the cow. Imagine in a little baby voice.......... Hi Daddy, there is a f**king huge cow in the garden, and she for sale. (I didn't get the for sale think till I look out the window again to see the big yellow farmers tag ).
Shock with the bad words I took the phone from her to find out it was my aunt on the phone.

There is 1 more story I have to tell you, but when I was pregnant with Kaci, Jessie asked the BIG QUESTION...............HOW DOES THE BABY GET IN THERE?????. What do you say to a 2 and a half year old? We told her that daddy puts a seed in mammys belly and it grows into a baby. She was happy with that answer, and that was the end of it, till I became pregnant again.
I was out having lunch with my mam and just as the waitress came to the table. Jessie pipes up " MAMMY SO IS IT JUST YOUR SITTING THERE HAVING PIZZA AND DADDY PUT THE SEED IN YOUR BELLY"
Red faced I just said you can ask daddy later.

Hope this brings you big smiles like it has us. and there is plenty more story, and id image many more to come.

Take care,
Sandra.
