So my weekend consisted of lots of fun!! First, they were having another Family Movie Night at the elementary school and I told Gretchen she could have a friend come with us. So after school off to pick up her friend, fix pizza and off to the movie, which was Kit Kitridge The American Girl Movie, but don't let the title fool you it is actually a really good movie about the Great Depression that I think everyone can relate to especially in todays turbulent economy. So the pic is my 2 girls and Gretchen's friend. Jason opted out of this to let us have a little GNO (Girls Night Out) for you non -Hannah Montana fans. I laugh because he even used the term GNO - he is a man with little girls and who has had the priviledge of getting his ear drums rattled as he enjoyed the Jonas Brothers/Hannah Montana concert - what you don't do to make your kids happy! So I digress! Then her friend spent the night. Then it was up early because Gretchen has been taking these Saturday enrichment classes because of some high test scores, so I took this time to get some retail therapy in and then Gretchen and me had our lunch date - lots of fun and then some more retail therapy. Which I have to say is always fun with Gretchen because she likes fashion and is brutally honest with you about clothes and how they look on you - not for the faint of heart I have to tell you! And then came home to do some things before off to the local volunteer Fire Dept. fish/chicken fry - yummy! But the best part was that I then got to go with my good friend, who happens to be my cousin, for a movie date. Long story short, Christmas present was a movie date for just the 2 of us because we like to take our children, but we never get to just go. So off to see a movie that had just been released, Duplicity. I was just excited to go see something that just came out and it wasn't kid related - sad I know! Have to be honest, not what I thought it would be and go in knowing you are going to have to think and I am the type that goes to have fun and not think at a movie, but I had great company (minus those stalkers -ha, ha) and great snacks - I love movie theatre popcorn and a coke!! And of course, the candy smugglers we are, Swedish Fish. Which I will digress again, funny story though. Over Christmas Break Jason and me took the girls to a movie, as promised, and we usually will let them get a drink and popcorn, which by the time you pay to get in, even to a afternoon showing is expensive, so I stock up on the candy beforehand. Well this day I was blessed enough to sit next to some freak that found it necessary to tell me, not to my face mind you, but under her breath ever so often that people go to jail for that - I guess smuggling candy, sorry I take my chances. Of course, she must have thought the candy police was going to come and haul me away and didn't want to be part of it because part way through the movie she got up and moved, which was fine with me because the constant "you are going to jail" was getting a little old. Okay, sorry, I digress again, but the real point is that I did have a great time with my friend, eventhough the movie was so so. And today was our last Cookie Booth - wahoooo!! Hope you had a GREAT weekend too! Busy week coming up with Pampered Chef and Girl Scouts, so until next time. . .
