Batman - The Dark Knight


Saturday started very early - I got up at 700 and then woke L up at 730 - she is soooooo not a morning person! She is so cranky and her smart mouth is even worse. I didn't let it get to me this morning though - we were going to go see Batman! The show started at 930 and I didn't know if there would be a line to get in and get seats so we left at 815 - got to the theater and no line. Oh well - if we hadn't gotten there so early there would have been a line. We got our tickets and then went to QFC to pick up a few items and then headed back to the theater. I had gotten movie candy last night at Target so all we needed to do was get popcorn and pop - breakfast of champions!! There were a lot of people having popcorn for breakfast! I discovered that Junior Caramels eaten at the same time as popcorn makes caramel corn - YUM!!! Junior Caramels are from the same people that make Junior Mints - just replace the mint with caramel. After sitting through way too many commercials and previews the movie finally started. I promised in yesterday's post that I wouldn't ruin the movie for anyone so all I will say is that it lived up to the hype - Heath Ledger was an incredible actor who left this world way too soon - if I hadn't known it was him playing the joker I would never had guessed - the change in his voice - the little ticks he gave the character - he had a great career ahead of him and will be missed. I won't be surprised if he is nominated for an Oscar next year.

L and I made it through the day without any arguments!! That was a nice experience. She never said Thank You for the movie, candy, and popcorn but she has always been like that - manners were never her strong suit. I didn't make a big deal out of it so the day ended without any incidences.

I'm going to go read my book now and enjoy the rest of my Saturday!

Todays Thoughts

My favorite Heath Ledger films are 10 Things I Hate About You and A Knights Tale.  I could just stare at his smile and dimples for ever.  He was so talented and beautiful.  It is such a loss.  Is it weird to be so effected by the death of a celebrity?  I have trouble wrapping my brain around how he can be gone.  It just makes me sad :(

In other news - the dishes my daughter was supposed to do over the weekend are still sitting in the sink.  She says she has been sick this week and she will get them done.  Anyone want to place a bet on when that will be?!?  I have to keep resisting the urge to just do it myself.  I am starting to run out of bowls!!

I have started on Weight Watchers again.  It worked real well for me 8 years ago and I hope it works again.  Another gal at work is starting on it too so we are going to help each other out. I think it is easier if you have someone to help you stay focused.  I have been on this for only 3 days but so far so good!  The food part has been pretty easy - the tough part for me is getting all the water in - not a big water drinker.  Small steps though - can't go from drinking nothing to drinking 6 glasses a day all at once!  I might float away.

I have 2 more points of food to eat so I am going to go calculate what I can have for dessert!
