Weekend Update

I am so sorry - I am the worst blog updater ever! I will really try to post something else this weekend while I'm home for 4 DAYS - WOOHOO!! How sad is it that I'm already looking forward to the upcoming 4 day weekend and it's Sunday night? We have the kids for Thanksgiving this year, which will be nice. I'm excited that my sister's family is coming down to spend the day with us. I wish there were more of us getting together, but I so appreciate her making the hour + drive for the occasion. I will try to make it worth her while and dazzle her with not only my stellar culinary skills but also my fabulous game playing abilities. Upwords and Payday here we come! Kidding... kind of. So I went and saw "Twilight" this weekend. I thought it was pretty cool. It's been at least a year since I read that first book so I forgot what happened in which book, but I enjoyed it. I agree with my sister's assessment that they could have found a prettier Rosalie - I mean seriously, Bella is always going on and on about how perfect she looks...ya, not really. That was disappointing, but I think for the most part the other characters were well cast. Bella and Edward were cast really well; they were just as I pictured them. I guess Emmett could have been a little bigger, but he was okay. As soon as the movie was over I was like "Okay I'm ready for the next one!" Seriously! Why can't authors and movie-makers just make them all and then release them like within a month of each other - you're killing me!
I really had such great intentions for this weekend - I was going to clean the house like a mad woman, and I so didn't. I mean I did some stuff, cleaned here and there, but not even close to what I was planning. That just means I'll have to clean after work all week. Or perhaps it means that I over-plan... yes, you know, I think that's it. I just shouldn't "plan" so much, and then I won't be put up against these "expectations". There's my solution, right there! Okay, or I could just do it, but that's way less fun.
Well, as I said I'll really try to remember to post something next weekend while I'm home, since that's the only place I'm able to post stuff, but with the kids here it will be tricky. So I won't promise anything - there's that whole "expectations" thing again. :o)
