December 10th... Already?

Well... so far I'm not off to such an awesome start.
I'm not feeling especially creative today, so if your looking for something a little wittier like the last post, you may want to try again later in the week.
I really just wanted to post something so that I would keep going.
I'm still trying to figure out what these things are for exactly. From my understanding it's supposed to be kind of like a diary... I only had one diary when I was a little girl and it had a lock and key. This venue hardly has the luxury of a dime store lock.
Come to think of it, even the lock on my diary was broken off by my little brother - Good thing he couldn't read.

OK, where to start...
Today is the tenth... After Thanksgiving I gave myself a goal for this day: To have completed and mailed out all 200+ Christmas cards - doesn't look like that's gonna happen. My new goal: Monday the 12th. Yes, I realize that's the day after tomorrow. If nothing else, coming up with a new goal will make me get out here again.

My youngest son did do something very nice for us all today. He made some money and decided to use it for Christmas presents for all of us. He took us to see Narnia. Great film... We were really ready to be disappointed. You give Hollywood a great movie (especially with a spiritual element) and you know they're gonna mess it up. Not so with this one. It strayed from the book here and there, but there are also timing issues, I guess. All in all this is one I'd like to own. Unlike my son, I'm not a big movie person. Once I've seen it, been there/done that, what's the point in owning it? Titanic doesn't count - so y'all can just hush.

There is one thing for sure that I'm feeling right now, a massive stomach ache. This movie theater leaves the butter in the lobby so you can put it on yourself. Ben was in charge of adding the butter. Not just to the top- no, no, no! To make it right, first, you have them fill the popcorn bag halfway so that you can butter it up in the middle. Next, return it to the clerk to finish filling up the bag and then you can top it off with even more butter! Ben knows his job and does it well, except the bag slipped and was now covered inside and out in this slippery artificial dairy product... Needless to say illness is imminent from the moment we walk through those doors. I can feel my arteries clogging as I type this. I think I'll visit the medicine cabnet, find the Maalox, and call it a night.


In Him,
Tammy

BTW For some reason, this site wants to take out spaces where they should be. I've tried to fix it twice now and if it doesn't work this time... I'm giving up. Think of it as a bonus, like in school when you were given those "busy work" worksheets where you had to decode the secret messages. Have fun!
