The Movies

Ruth & I had an actual date Saturday night--babysitter & everything! We decided to go to the movies, but under NO circumstances was it to be a movie by Disney or Pixar.

We saw Julie & Julia. And we loved it! Unfortunately, I really regretted eating at the mall food court before. We didn't get ill, it was just the decision to eat at the food court that seemed... wrong. (being at a mall on a Saturday night is a discussion for another day)

And speaking of movies, we try to do pizza & movie night once a week. The day has been changing, but we think we've hit on the perfect day--Thursday! Ruth works from home on Thursdays, so we can start the movie earlier than other weeknights. Weekends are just too busy to try to do it, so there you are.

This last weeks movie was Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Teddy hasn't been great about seeing the classic Disney movies. No matter how hard we try to tell him that there's a happy ending, you just have to get through the scary parts, he has never been able to watch one all the way through. Maybe 6 1/2 is the magic number, because we watched it all the way through this time.

Pizza this week was frozen. Teddy had his Amy's gluten-free rice crust pizza with added turkey pepperoni, and Ruth & I had a frozen everything.

Next week I hope to make pizza from scratch; not sure what the movie will be.

I said occasional...

but honestly, this wasn't what I had in mind! I guess I should have known better than to take on a new undertaking just as school was starting.

And did I mention the computer virus? The laptop I use most contracted a nasty one. Nothing seems to be permanently lost, but I'm still not sure where my .exe files are. I am extremely grateful to the friend who spent 3 hours on the phone with me trying to get rid of it.

Speaking of virus', I have a bit of a stomach one today, so this is all for now. More later.

Hello!

Hello there!
My name is Susan & this is my blog. I live in Massachusetts with my spouse, son & dog. I'm a mostly stay-at-home mom with a part-time job at the local library.

What I want this to be is a collection of my random, occasional thoughts about relationships, parenting (especially about a kid with food allergies), work, home keeping, and other things I wasn't trained for.

Wish me luck!
Susan
