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.

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...
