GIRLIE UPDATE: Avatar


Aaron and I really enjoyed Mr. Worthington's new movie Avatar. The 3-D effects are amazing and the storyline is original. I admit I got a bit of motion sickness so I took the glasses off periodically. But everyone should see it!

He's still a kick-ass!

Winter's here!

...while Ikaika dreamt of pig ears and milkbones by the tree; I was test cooking my Christmas recipes in the kitchen.

It's my busy week at work. Wish me and my crew luck that we stay healthy and don't stress out too much! Four more nights, four more nights...

G understands me!

Shopping... its like riding a bike!

My weekend started off slow. After staying up late and making my lists of what shops to go and what gifts to buy, I only managed to get out of the house on Friday at dinnertime. I met Megan at Fat Head's Brewery in North Olmsted. It's been a long time since we've had a dinner night and we had a lot of fun catching up. Megan got to try a handful of beers -- the bitter ales is her preference. I stuck to my hot tea. We were stuffed to the gills with my Divine Swine and her Fat Italian headwiches but managed to have a tasty pineapple and coconut with buttered rum bread pudding. Ono! (I have to get the recipe and make it for my Christmas dinner!) We vowed to revive the once a month dinner nights! Next up, a martini joint!

We said our goodbyes and I commenced shopping... it all came back to me! I miss shopping a lot! The cold weather did not stop me this time. I stopped by an Asian market to buy rice, then headed to Crocker Park and bought one of Aaron and Grandma Brlas' gifts and tons of stuff for my house.

Today I got an early start, returning a couple of things for the house, bought paint to update our weathered mailbox, loaded up on more dog food, picked up an ingredient for my Christmas dinner, bought Kyle's gift and finished my grocery shopping. I would have continued on if my feet didn't start throbbing. The high heels did me in. I intended on taking a break at home and head out later, but I fell asleep in front of the TV and didn't make it out. I settled under the covers and watch Terminator Salvation again (Yep, Mr. Worthington is still hot!).
