Teach This

I just had to comment about Christmas shopping. We went on Friday, of course, were out in the wee hours of the morning–it was fine. The lines were actually pretty short for us, and I had a great time. I was beat after more than nine hours of shopping, but I am mostly done with my Christmas shopping. Anybody out there get some good deals they couldn’t have lived without?

Any ideas for men’s Christmas? I know lots of things that my husband wants, but how to choose and then how to make sure I get what he actually wants–such fun!

I took the girls to see the new Harry Potter movie. It was great! I have read all the books, except the latest, because I am too cheap to buy it in hardback. I think they do a superb job making the movies like the books. Of course, they leave out quite a bit of details, but unless we want to sit and watch an eight hour movie, I don’t think we have a choice. I wish there was a way to include all the little story plots, but I have to admit, they do pick and choose wisely.

Of course, Courtney brought a friend, and they wouldn’t sit by me, so Brianna and I went together–how sad is it when you take your child to the movies and they won’t sit by you, not even for my popcorn, can you believe that?
