Full Moon

I wanted to see the new movie 'When in Rome' because it looked funny on the TV commercials. But it's getting bad reviews. I should have suspected when K said he also wanted to see it. The ludicrous comedy must appeal to that demographic.

K and I were driving home last night and noticed a big, bright full moon. The good news is he passed his end of semester exams but Math starts up next semester...eeps. I had such a busy day yesterday running errands.

I'm going prom dress shopping in a trendy part of town with my girlfriend S and her daughter this afternoon. L doesn't have time, so I'm the personal (window) shopper! The other day, I did find her the perfect dress for an upcoming school semi-formal.

It's a cold weekend. Tastefully Done has an interesting recipe called '5 minute chocolate mug cake'. I think I may try this one.

  1. I want to see that movie as well, but I have heard the same thing. I might wait until it comes to video at that rate. If I'm going to spend $8 to see a movie in the theatre, I want it to be worth my while! :)

    Congrats to K on passing!

  4. Oh how I wish my husband shared my retirement dreams. The plan was for me to retire 2 years ago, which I did, and for him to retire 1 year ago-- But he's still working and I think he always will. Now I'm stuck. I sold my business and at my age not exactly and ideal job candidate anymore.

    How about you?

    Hope your weekend is good.

    i was talking to my son last night and he said that his 8 year old son loves cooking and he was helping him make some chocolate slices . I will send him the recipe. The little boy just loves chocolate ( when he can get it ) and this will be ideal for him ! Thank you !

  7. YEs, congrats to K. Brilliant.

    Love all you links here.

    How nice of you to be the personal shopper--sort of like a traveling butler, as it were.

  8. I do a lot of that window shopping. Then I grab her for an afternoon of "do you like this?" and "I thought this would look nice on you". Luckily she still likes stuff I pick out LOL!

    That retirement article is good food for thought.

    And yay for K!!

  9. Good news on K passing his exams. And you daughter must trust you to do her shopping for her. I wouldnt have been game to do that for my daughter - I get it wrong as we have way different taste. Oh your two children are growing up! The retirement article is a great one.

  10. Joanna, M and I don't have a retirement plan, I have trouble planning far ahead unfortunately.

    Barbara, glad your nephew can use the recipe, he'll likely try it before I get around to it!

    Julie that full moon was pretty gorgeous.

    Mmm, 'travelling butler' lol, you crack me up.

    Japra, that's exactly how I do the 'window shopping'!

    Lilly, it's so great you're blogging again, I've missed you.
