Last night.
My sister: so, you want to go with me to so-and-so’s house? We’re going to watch movies.
Me: Naw, I really need to get E home, plus I just bought a few movies today, I need to watch those if I’m gonna watch movies, ha.
My sister: Ooh, really?
Me: Yeah, have you seen The Terminal?
My sister: Naw, I don’t keep up with any of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s movies.

Doh!!

Did watch The Terminal tonight. I must describe it as “delightful.” I’ve never described a movie as “delightful” before. Steve enjoyed it as well.

Wednesday I will kill three birds with one stone, maybe four if I’m lucky.

Plan to travel south to take my laptop in to Best Buy. I hate Best Buy. I hate Compaq. I hate my stupid Compaq laptop’s non-working CD rom.

Plan to drop by Cingular where we got phones in November for my father-in-law and my sister-in-law. They are charging us activation fees for each after we were led to believe they would be waived. Sheila is going with me as my witness since she was there when we got the phones. My cell phone bill this month is higher than it’s ever been at a few pennies shy of $200. I hate Cingular. This is reason #789723 that I hate Cingular. If only they weren’t all we could get in our area…

And then we will photograph my brother, sister-in-law, and new niece. She called me tonight and asked me to take some family photos for them… and soon.

That means I have to buy a new tripod as when I did school pictures for siblings last I apparently lost a very important part of it.

Also plan to do more Christmas shopping. Have only left Sheila, their two grandmothers, and my mom, dad, and sister. Oh yeah, and need to get something for the gift exchange with my dad’s family. A new thing we are trying this year.

Short end of the stick?
When Sarah posted about our deal we had, Owen said she was getting “the short end of the stick.” I beg to differ. I promised her that if she worked one day out of every craft fair I had this fall (five) that I would take her to Chucke Cheese. She picked the place.
Two Saturdays ago Steve and I took her and Elijah out. What a mistake. My kid was such a crabby little boy. Well, he did enjoy himself towards the end of the evening while running around in the toddler’s area.

Always watching out for him

I think Sarah mentioned that after my Spring shows she’d like to go to Johnson Shut-ins. That or Six Flags, I’m told.

Christmas play at church was this past week/weekend. It ran for five nights. Five freaking nights. They wanted us to tape all nights. I did three of them. Doing last night, Sunday, however, earned me the opportunity to get Christmas Day off. So, yay.

We did pretty good though. I wish we had our DVD recorder going there so that I could show you all the totally cool thing I did. Though it would have been better if Cameraman #2 could hear me better and had continued pulling out instead of pausing twice, it was still nice. As he pulled out, I faded from Camera #3 that had this extreme close-up on the soloist from the side. So she became this faint image on the screen in blackness that surrounded smaller versions of her and another character. It was nice. Similar to what I did on Easter.
