Valentine's Day was nice. Jason got me this cute tiger in a motorcycle jacket, and a box of all dark chocolates! YUM! We went to lunch at this little cafe downtown, and had a tasty dinner of fish (salmon for him, orange roughy for the boys and I). We were so full from dinner that we did not get to the jello poke cake I made until the next day!
I am glad it's the weekend. Not that I had that tough of a week, but I always look forward to the weekends. I feel just blah and out of shape at the moment. I think it's the fact that winter has seemed to drag on, and I have not been very active, as far as exercise. I need to do something w/myself. I walked to get the kids from school, and we just got back from a 40 min. walk. I wish our darn dog would learn to quit being such a freak on walks. We have had him on a leash since we first got him (almost 2 years ago, and he was 8 weeks old!), and he still does this incessant whiney spaz act, and pulls sideways. My hand aches by the time we get home, from holding the leash tight.
I have been a reading machine lately. This morning I finished the 3rd book in the Southern Vampire Series, by Charlaine Harris, and started the 4th! I'm 60 pages into it. Also picked up Dexter in the Dark, by Jeff Lindsay, and would like to get it read in at least a couple days. My goal is to read more books this year than I have in any of the past 10 years.
We are now on season 4 of Buffy, and simultaneously watching season 1 of Angel (they do crossover episodes occasionally). Since we have literally been watching every night, we aren't getting much of anything else watched. I am anxious for all the shows to resume the rest of their season. One thing I am wondering about, is if the prices of this season's DVDs are going to be the same, since they won't technically be a complete season. I think I'm going to buy 30 Days of Night when it comes out Tuesday. I have not seen it, but wanted to. Being the vampire fanatic that I am, I will happily buy it sight unseen, and am pretty sure I won't be disappointed!
Jason went off to Denver this morning for a birthday thing for Rodney at ESPN Zone. They are supposed to be back in time for bowling. I am hoping he's home at a decent hour, so I can see him before bed. Tomorrow he is going to Jackson for work, and attempting to do it one day. That's a loooong trip for one day, but I guess it's better than having him gone a night. Sunday is supposed to be nice, so I would like to get us all outside doing something.
I booked our Disney trip a couple weeks ago! We are so excited! We'll be staying at the Excalibur in Vegas one night on the way out, and on the way back. I just cannot wait for my boys to experience the magic of Disneyland! It's truly one of my favorite places on Earth! This will be my 6th time there. I went for the first time when I was 3, and that is one of my earliest memories. I remember cowering on the bottom of the boat in Pirates of the Carribbean, as the canons were going off! LOL :) We're doing 4 days at the park, hopefully swinging down to Hollywood (if I can convince Jason), and meeting up w/my family that lives out there. I can't wait to stock up on Alice stuff! I feel like I need to buy everything I see.
It's movie night for the boys and I (most Fridays are, since it's bowling night for Jason). I think we're going to watch X-Men 3, which has been waiting on the TIVO for a couple months.
I typed up this whole big update, and MSN crashed. Sooooo, I will see what I can put in a nutshell. Things have been pretty busy here. I've subbed 7 times in the last month at the school, for the librarian, a resource para, and an office lady! It's been a lot of fun, and of course, the $ will be nice. My regular routine has been all thrown off though! I feel like I got way behind on housework. I got sick last Monday, and am still fighting it off. I'm at the point now where I have a cough that chokes and gags me, and just pisses me off in general! I ended up winning both the playoff brackets and our fantasy playoffs we did! It was a nice little chunk of $!
My birthday was good. Jason came home early and baked me a German chocolate cake from scratch. It was fabulous! We had dinner at Olive Garden.
We've been to a few movies at the theater. Jason and I saw Cloverfield, which was good, but confusing as heck. I ended up getting a bit of a headache. I took the boys to Alvin and The Chipmunks and The Golden Compass. Both were good. We also National Treasure 2 over Xmas break, and all loved it. With some birthday $, I bought the rest of the seasons needed to complete our Buffy and Angel collections. We started watching Buffy from season 1, with the boys, and they are way into it!! We are into season 3 now.
I guess that's about all for now. I had a lot more, but don't really feel like trying to remember it all!
