Weekend Update

It's Saturday night and I find myself home early and enjoying my couch. It isn't often that I find myself with nothing to do on a Saturday night, but I can't say I'm not enjoying it. After dinner, the hubs-to-be went out with the boys to help a friend get over a fresh break-up, and I went on my merry way. After the weeks I've been having at work, it's nice to get a little quite time to myself (that I am happily sharing with James Taylor).

Tonight, after some delicious sushi in Kenmore, I did a little shopping (although I am still without a new mouse for my laptop) and saw The Lovely Bones. Now, I'm all for books being turned into movies, but I stand firm that the book is ALWAYS better than the movie, and this case was no different. It's been a while since I read the book, but I know it was better than what I just watched. I can't say it was a bad movie at all, but it felt lacking to me. I don't know what it was missing, but I guess the computer generated scenes took away from what I had created in my imagination while reading. I know that pretty much always happens with the movies from books, but for whatever reason I found this one more difficult to enjoy. Stanly Tucci was sufficiently creepy though...

So at barely 11:15pm on a weekend, I think I'll turn in. My bed is calling, and I can't refuse.

Everybody's Working for the Weekend

I am so unbelievably happy it's Friday. This week has been too long and too busy and I'm ready for the break. More than anything, I'm ready to sleep and not have to wake up to an alarm tomorrow morning. That will be so wonderful.

This weekend I'm going home to my Gramma's house and getting new tires on my car. It was quite the process of figuring out where the best place to get them done was, so hopefully I've picked well. Having a car can be so expensive, but I just can't give up the freedom it gives me. I have hating to park it and move it for street cleaning and all that bologna, but being able to go home or to the store, or to Vermont whenever I want to is worth it. I always debate getting rid of my car, and always come right back to the fact that I would feel SO trapped without it.

Although the weekend promises some rain, I'm so ready for the relaxation! Happy Weekend!
