Everybody Needs a little Girls' Night Out!

I went to the movies with some friends over the weekend.  We watched Avatar. [It was good - I wanted to jump into the movie and be a part of it.]

When the movie ended, I was very naughty--I left my cup of ice in the cup holder!!  I always try to "accidentally" forget throw away my trash, but Haqon ALWAYS reminds me:

I say,  "Can't we just leave it here?"
he says, "Nope, you're supposed to take it out - see they have garbage cans by the door so you can throw it away."

Hah!  I felt a tad guilty leaving it....but then I saw rows and rows of cups left behind from my fellow movie goers.  I knew it!  I mean...they have people who do that, right?  If we all cleaned up our own messes, the movie theater might decide to cut back.  Think of the poor people who might lose their jobs if I don't leave my popcorn bucket on the floor!  I probably saved someone's job!! You're welcome!

[Haqon worked in a movie theater when he was in highschool.  So, I have to defer to his expertise.  Still it felt good to let it go just this once...]



  Fun to see friends I hadn't been out with in a while, too.  If you haven't seen Avatar, go see it.  and the 3D was great :)

My Sister's Keeper

Seeing the movie's commercials, I decided that I really wanted to read this book before seeing the movie.  That was before I realized Jodi Picoult wrote it.  (I enjoyed reading her book, "Nineteen Minutes.") Not my usual genre, but it's a good read, too.

Haqon keeps looking over and asking if I'm OK.  I admit - this book has been hard for me to read.  But, it's helped me see silver linings.....and explore deep fears, emotions, and ethics.  I love getting lost in a book.  

I love books.
