"Enchanted" weekend...

This weekend sure flew by! We went to our Sunday School Christmas party Friday night and my school Christmas party Saturday night. Friday night was really fun. We ate a great dinner and then we played their Wii. I had never played one before but I had so much fun that I am now on the hunt for one to buy the family for Christmas. I shopped all day Saturday and absolutely no one has them. Best Buy gets their shipments in on Tuesdays and Fridays so I am going to call and check regularly and see what I can come up with between now and Christmas. Got most everything else I needed to buy for Christmas while I was out on Saturday, so maybe I won't have to do much more crowd fighting this season. I am getting less and less patient with age.

Today I went to church and listened to the Christmas Cantata. It was good. My favorite Christmas hymns are "Mary, did you know?" and "What Child is this?" and they were both included in the cantata which made it a hit for me. Afterwards, I took Lea and Billy to see "The Golden Compass" while Lily and I went to see "Enchanted". I had seen it getting pretty good reviews in Entertainment Weekly, but I still wasn't dying to see it or anything. I was really surprised. It was so cute. Or maybe I was just desperate to see a good movie and whatever I watched today would've been good. It was honestly a really good movie (as far as those kid/fairy tale stories go anyway). What made it even better was the trailer for the next Season of Lost that they showed before the movie! I am SOOOOOO excited! Season 3 comes out on DVD December 11 (going to get it THAT day unless the world comes to an end or something) so if you are not yet a Lostie then you have a little time left to become one before Season 4 starts. My suggestion is to go to a video store (Family Video has it) and start with the first Season and watch as much as you can stand at once. I really believe that once you start, you won't be able to stop. It is GREAT, GREAT, GREAT! The bad thing about it is that you really have to have watched from the very start.

Made semi-homemade chicken noodle soup for supper tonight. Did I tell you about e-mealz yet? www.e-mealz.com Read about it in the doctor's office the other day waiting for Sam's flu shot. They plan your meals for you for the week and they even provide you with a shopping list to cook all the meals they suggest. The list is divided by category (produce, deli, canned, etc.) and you can even request a specific grocery store and they will suggest brands carried by that store AND the prices for each item. This is my first week trying it. I went to the grocery store today and bought all I would need for this week. I'll let you know how it goes. And also, I am still cleaning my sink each night. And it is still making me smile in the morning. I'm taking my time in moving on to the next step, but I want to make sure I don't jump into this too fast and burn out.

Also not sure if I mentioned on here that I had a major PMS, psycho day on Thursday. I had gone three days without my Effexor and I was a total bitch. Thought it was all because of no meds, then I realized mother nature had a hand in that as well...(you girls catch my drift). I was feelings very edgy and so I call Dr. Lampley and he changed me to Prozac. I started taking it Thursday night and I have felt pretty good ever since. The Effexor was really making me jumpy and I felt like I was having blood pressure problems. My heart was pounding all the time too. Glad to get off of that and try something different that hopefully won't make me feel like I've been running a race.

Oh well, I am gonna run read a little before bed. I bought a new book Saturday, the second in a series by the "Left Behind" writers telling the story of each of the writers of the Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke & John). John's was first and I read it about a year ago. Those of you who know me will think this totally doesn't sounds like something I would read, but honestly, I am fascinated. It is like reading a history book, only with a personal story attached to it. This one is Mark's story. I'll let you know if it is as good as the first one. Nighty-night.
