Movie afternoon

Movies at the Wallingford theater are 5.00 all day/night on Tuesdays.

Bob and I tried all weekend to have a date, but kids wanting to go here and there prevented us getting time in.  Tuesday came, of a short week, so I headed home from work determined to take advantage of the 5.00 movie night for a date.

Bob was more than willing and at 4:00, we headed off to the movie.  I can't even remember the last time that Bob and I were able to go to a movie on a Tuesday afternoon.  We may not have as much money coming in right now, but having him home sure is fun!!! 

It is so enjoyable to just do something differently than the way you have done it forever.... and especially to do that thing together!  What a great movie too-The blind side-must see movie!!! (and we had fun talking about some of the characters in the theater too.  Although the house didn't fall down, apparently there was some sibling stuff going on while we were gone, but they all survived!)

A call

I went to mass last week to be a Eucharistic Minister.  The lectors did not show up (and there was only one other EM with me), so I offered to read.  I told Father I had been a lector years ago.  So in the back of the church, I practiced real quick before I went up.  I guess when God calls....we answer.....and it was really fun to do it again.  So....if women can do all that in one mass, why is it they can't be deacons or priests?  I guess that is yet to come.

"Barn" is open

Obviously Spring has Sprung....the last two weekends Brendan has had friends sleep over above the garage - the barn.  This weekend Brendan is having friends over from school, above the garage...."Dad, these are big guys who will  help set up the pool table."  A 600+ lb pool table). Katie has plans to have friends  sleep over on Saturday and Bob has planned a pizza party for Connor's basketball team on Saturday, above the garage....I think I should start charging a fee for this place!  It's like having a glorified tree house to hang out in.

The feeling of reading a good book

I just listed a new book in my book section, Handle with Care , by Jodi Picoult. It was a long read, and it took me awhile to get into it, but that was more me than the book. It is very well written and the story is incredible. The reason I am blogging about it - I realized yesterday, as I went through like at least 200 pages, every minute I could pick the book up, that a good book is like a friend....once you get into it, you feel like you are a part of it and you have to know the outcome of what is going to happen to those characters who have grown on you. The power of a good book is amazing-when you can't put it down for anything.....unless your four year old says, "Mommy, I want attention." (Even then, guilt ridden, Irish CAtholic that I am....I thought..."I already gave you attention today in many ways....this is my time." Wow-a good book almost succeeding at overcoming the power of my guilt-amazing.)
