Darn - no Alvin!

We went to Warren East tonight to see Alvin & The Chipmunks, the first time we've all been out to a movie in a long time. We even got there about 50 minutes before showtime - however IT WAS SOLD OUT! They told us that movie had sold out every showing today. Since we couldn't agree on any other movie - Corby and the boys and I would have liked to seen National Treasure, but Kaitlin adamantly refused to - we decided to go out to eat instead. (By the way, those of you with young daughters, get prepared for the teenage years - they turn moody, crabby, hormonal, etc.) Anyway, I had eaten at Cheddar's several times with friends, but Corby and the kids had never been there. After about a 40 minute wait, we were finally seated. We had a wonderful dinner, and the best part is - I will be reimbursed $30! The kids' boss at Leeker's gave them each a coupon for a $15 meal for Christmas. They just have to take him the receipt and he'll give them (and in this case, ME!) the money.

Corby was fighting a terrible headache, so we came home and relaxed. We are supposed to go out tomorrow night for our anniversary, but those plans may be put on hold since we ate out tonight. Gotta watch those pennies you know!

By the way, the reason Kaitlin started out crabby this evening is because I was picking on her. I admit it! She has two guy friends that she used to work with at Wendy's. They text message each other all the time. Her phone kept going off with text messages. These guys names are Snappy and Dustin. I can never remember their names, so I called them Ducky and Dorky, Happy and Doc, Bonnie and Clyde, etc. She didn't get the humor. I'm either not as funny as I think I am, or she is way into this teenager thing!

I haven't kept everyone up-to-date on my books lately. I am reading DIRTY BLONDE by Lisa Scottoline. So far, it's pretty good. She's an author I've heard good things about, but I'd never taken time to read any of her books.

Today's music - my IPOD is on shuffle - hearing some Lynyrd Skynyrd, Switchfoot, Trisha Yearwood, Michael W. Smith, MercyMe, Enya, Styx, Josh Groban, Tori Amos...

I'm so glad I have a boy. The only kid I'm ever having. THANK YOU! I always said if I ever had a girl and she was anything like I was growing up, I'd just die!!! I was HORRIBLE! Happy Anniversary!!! I hope you and Corby have a great one. Have Corby cook for you. It would probably be better than any meal you could get by going out (and cheaper).

We are going to see Charlie Wilsons War tonight. I'll let ya know how it was. I kinda feel like you can't go wrong with Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts. We shall see.

Let me know what you think about Charlie Wilson's War. I agree about Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts! Brandon wants to go see it - but just left to go see Sweeney Todd with a friend and his family.

It was really good.
I heard Sweeney Todd was VERY bloody. I guess I could get past that for a glimpse of Johnny Depp. ;o)

Brandon texted me after he got out of Sweeney Todd last night and said it was the BEST musical he'd ever seen!

Blood, gore AND Johnny Depp? Sounds like the perfect movie!

First Day of School

It's tradition at my house to take a "first day of school" picture. The kids get less and less thrilled every year, but I still do it. Here are the twins before they left for their first day of senior year: Kind of funny that they both wore gray - unplanned of course! I think Kaitlin is putting in her plug for the college she'd like to go to. They had a good day. Found out that at 1800 students, Heights is over their limit by 400 students!!! OMG! I'm not sure what the answer is, but it is WAY TOO CROWDED! I think the northeast side of town needs a new high school. Something needs to be done! Just finished my Nora Roberts book, and have started New Moon, the second book in Stephenie Meyer's vampire series. Kaitlin took Abby to the vet yesterday to get her last distemper shot and a rabies shot. The vet told her that she comes from a line of very strong / physically superior cats. I knew there was some reason that she climbs EVERYWHERE in the house, including u...
