Saw the newest Twilight movie, 'New Moon,' with some of the older kids tonight and totally enjoyed it. Totally. It was as enjoyable, if not more so, as the newest Harry Potter movie, 'Goblet of Fire'. Such fun! But, do you know what surprised me while we were there? In the theatre, there were only about 15 folks watching, including us. Huh!
But tomorrow needs to be a work day. Back to reality. The living room rug hasn't been vacuumed in too long for me to admit, and the house needs a hearty going over. The Thanksgiving holiday gave me the excuse to be a lazybones over the weekend, and I can't stand the clutter any longer. So, after school in the morning, one son will help me spread some pine straw out front that my yardboy sons collected from a friend's yard, and then will put away the Fall decorations inside in favor of a tiny bit of Christmas foolishness. Not ready to hit it big time, like Molly, but we'll get there gradually enough.
When we came out of the theatre tonight, I had to do a double-take as we drove home, because colored lights were all about and in my attention to the movie, I'd forgotten that it was Christmas-time. That just shows how NOT ready I really am.
