Bit of this, bit of that.
1. First things first - I'm kind of surprised no one had anything to say about my last post. If you simply missed it but are reading this one, I would really appreciate thoughts on the previous one.
2. It was such a fabulous weekend. The weather was absolutely gorgeous, and we were kid-free till Sunday afternoon. Hubby and I had ourselves a day-long date on Saturday and it was perfect. We had an early lunch, did some shopping, just drove around for a few hours, did a little more shopping, took in a movie, had a late dinner and went home. MAN, did I love Saturday.
3. The movie we saw was Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief, and it was very good. I love the books, and while obviously stuff had to be cut out for a movie, and of course they messed crap up, it was still very good, and made hubby want to read the book. Excellent. I also loved being able to prod him along through the movie, to be able to see a scene spread out and be able to say, "OK, what do you see a lot of? Who do you think they'll meet here? What do you think is happening here?" It was really fun to watch things click for him with just a word here, a prod there.
4. I have a few pictures to share.
Mikey got his retainer in January, and it looks like a slice of watermelon!
We had quite a bit of snow this year - this is outside my apartment building in early February:
I LOVE the effect when the snow clings to all the trees:
On February 26th, Mikey's entire grade had a day-long field trip to a place called JA Biztown. All the kids were given a real-life "job" and had to go to work, earn a paycheck, write checks to pay their "bills" and go shopping, etc. The kids were told to dress appropriately - so Mikey did! I LOVE his tie!
On Saturday, I found this mug at a discount store and had to pick it up; it is absolutely hilarious, and I'm giving to my cousin, Madeline. Maddie will be 14 in April, and is at the age where boys are, indeed, stupid. That I have Mikey grinning in the handle is just an amusing side benefit.
And yes, I am aware that my Christmas tree is still up.[/lazy] We'll be taking it down this coming Saturday.
5. Speaking of this Saturday, Valerie and Bailey are visiting with baby Phoenix. They'll arrive Friday, and we'll probably see them Saturday or Sunday. I'll have to try to take pictures - for having a stupid name, the kid is way cute, and happy, too.
6. Big Bang Theory tonight - yay! XD.
