TSO

This afternoon I went to see Trans-Siberian Orchestra with my parents, and my brother.  It was a very entertaining show.  I love their music because you just get caught up in it...its not repetative.  One thing: They flip their hair around a lot! :)  So, when I got out of there, I was very tempted! But, I refrained from making a fool of myself in public.  (this time!)

Afterwards we went to the spaghetti factory for dinner, had a little chit chat, and headed home.  It was a great afternoon/evening.  Looking forward to getting some things done around the house tomorrow, as I was not successful at that at all today!  I won't even go into detail about the mountian of laundry that needs folding and to be put away! 

New Moon

The movie was everything I wanted it to be, and funnier.  I was amazed at how empty the theatre was....there were only three people in front of us in line.  There was never a big line.  They only had three shows sold out and fourteen theatres playing the movie.

We ended up buying tickets to a 9pm viewing of Twilight because those people were able to keep those seats for New Moon.  We figured it would be something to pass the time.  Thats a long time to be waiting in line.  My back was already killing me!  Don't misunderstand, it was TOTALLY worth it!  :)

There was Me, Samantha, Keri, Cheri and a friend, Mandy, Jamie, Melanie, Marissa & Tevin.  I purchased 10 tickets.  Its hard to coordinate too many people.  But we were very fortunate because our theatre had an older fan base, so there was A LOT less screaming and carrying on.  That made it so nice! I meant when there was chatter, it was louder and lasted longer than in a regular movie, but there wasn't all the teeny bopper screaming going on.  There were a few moments, but compared to Twilight...SO MUCH BETTER!  I think overall, this movie was better too. I love the adjustment to their "look" with the new contacts.  Much more realistic.  Well, I don't want to give to much away about the movie.  But, I sure enjoyed it.  Looking forward to seeing it again.

And now, I must read the book again!

GLEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, this that day of the week again! It is WEDNESDAY.  Otherwise known as "Glee" day in my house.  I love it.  The kids love it, and if Jim could stay awake for it. I would make him love it too!  Ben always wishes it was two hours long because we enjoy it so. 

It's one of those "Feel Good" shows. I love the music and it just makes me happy.  So, Wednesdays are a good day in the Finch household.

One more day until the "New Moon" premiere, and a little "girls night" action.  Hanging at the mall with the girls waiting for our movie.  Yes, I am one of those dorky, TwiMoms....its true.  I can't help myself.  I am so looking forward to Friday off. Having lunch with Marissa and just getting some stuff done~

Calendars are cruising away....schedule permiting, I want one page a day.  Yesterday was a busy day, so I only got it partially done.  So, tonight I hope to get to that and get another month done.  Wouldn't that be the best feeling to be DONE in a week?  Then I can modify and create separate calendars for other people.  Find a way to bind them that looks good AND functional!  (very important!)

Well, I need to get busy on those calendars, so Happy Glee Day!

Saturday

Today has been a fairly productive day.  We had Joey's end of season party, which was pretty uneventful.

Came home got all my ducks in a row and went to the store to get all the stuff to make a new Mac-N-Cheese recipe.  It was tasty...but too many bread crumbs!  Joey was the one that mentioned that.  So, not exactly a success....but it was a good night for that.  We had a roarin' fire...so hot in the house! and watched Transformers 2....extra loud! 

and now I'm working on my calendars for next year.

Well, back to work on my calendars....got one page done!

Joey's football team went out with a BLAST!  48-0....I felt bad for the kids on the other team!  Thats got to be rough.  Well, they played well and had a great season.  But, Joey is still bent on playing tackle football.  So, next year: Kent Knights.....oh, dear Momma I don't know that I will be able to handle it!  But it sure will be FUN!

Today I had the day off to go with Joey on his class field trip to the Issaquah Fish Hatchery.  It was a very cold day...Thank goodness it only rained a bit.  But boy was I happy for the bus ride home to defrost!

Very happy to start the weekend.  Have plans to get a lot done around the house in the organizing dept.  I am so behind!!  But these weekends go by so darn fast!

November

How weird that it is the last day of football again...only two years later.  I guess I don't blog much.  But I don't have much time, either.  you could say I spend too much time on facebook...or some other form of "wasting time"  :)  But, it is what it is...and right now, it IS time to get dinner going before this last football game for Joey.  Ben's last game is next Tuesday. 

so, for tonight "GO GREEN"
