Enchanted Weekend?


Kaitlin and I went to see the movie ENCHANTED last night. What an enjoyable movie! Disney did a masterful job of meshing together a fairy tale cartoon with real life. And of course, Patrick Dempsey is HOT! I think the big ending was a bit overdone, but overall, it was a fun movie!

Corby made another trip to Chandler on Wednesday. Kaitlin ended up going with him. She is caught up @ school and such a good student that I didn't think it would hurt for her to miss a day. They got the house cleared out and all the utilities shut off. Corby will have to go back down one more time for court - to have a judge name him executor of Charles' estate - which is basically the insurance policy. That probably won't happen until January.

We did all of our Saturday errand running and got home by about 2. Since it's so yucky outside, we are getting some inside chores done this weekend - plus my normal 10-15 loads of laundry!

Bought a new CD today - Michael W. Smith's newest Christmas CD. He is one of my favorite Christian artists. Very talented, very CUTE, very married (oh yeah, so am I!)...The CD is Wonderful, wonderful!

Sugar, our outdoor cat, stays in the garage at night during the winter. She's been wanting in the house all day, so Corby brought her in a while ago. She can't stay inside though, so we've made a pallet with an old comforter for her up off the cement floor. Cinnamon has been in and out all day - she loves the cold weather, but doesn't like the mist/ice/sleet. She may end up sleeping in our bedroom tonight!

I got more shopping done yesterday at lunch. Just have a few more things to pick up and then I'm done. I prefer doing my shopping online, and have bought a few things that way this year, but most of the things the kids want have been on sale over the last few weeks. And you know me, I love a good sale!

Brandon is getting ready for his first college finals. He has 2 on Monday, 2 on Tuesday, and his last one is Wednesday at 7pm. He'll head home Thursday morning, and be home for a month. YIPPEE!

Corby found out (through the Eagle's own Carrie Rengers story in Thursday's Biz Today section) that Foley has signed a contract to purchase the old Optima Bus building at 77th N. & Hydraulic. Unfortunately, they are not moving the warehouse out here - he'll still be at the Harry & West location. Bummer - thought we might save some money on gas!

My quote for today is really a short verse:
They Who Are Wild Wacky Women
They are women of substance...
Women of their own making
With the perfect blend of
candor and common sense,
They understand the value of
friendship, love and laughter.
They are smart, empowered and enlightened
with the wisdom and legacy of the women
who have come before them,
With a spirit that soars free,
They rejoice in this great sisterhood
called WOMEN.

What's Good

Here's what's good right now: 1. Corby's OKAY after an accident at work today! He was on the forklift pulling onto a truck when the truck driver pulled away from the dock apparently to reallign himself (WHAT AN IDIOT DRIVER!!!) and he fell off the dock. Thank goodness there is a roll-bar on those forklifts. He has a headache and will probably be stiff tomorrow, but says he is okay. They sent him for a drug test. It's their policy if someone has an accident at work. 2. Feeling much better. I'm about 75% well now. Still have a cough and some sinus issues, but I think I'll survive. 3. Spending today with Kaleb & Kaitlin. 4. Having such good kids. Leeker's just called Kaitlin to see if she'd work longer hours today. They have a lot of employees out sick. She was supposed to work 4-8, but volunteered to work 2-9. Here's a pat on the back hon! 5. Enjoying some Josh Groban music. 6. Cleaning out my file cabinet and getting ready for 2008. I know, I...
