Movie Night



Yesterday the kid were off from school.  I spent a good chunk of the day making treats I will bring to T's house later this afternoon.  My daughter chose to hang out with me while I did that.  We watch a movie together.  We watched "Spy Kids 4"


I get movies from the Redbox quite a bit for the kids.  It's cheap and it makes them happy.  But I rarely watch the movies myself.  Tonight after I put everyone to bed, I decided that I would have a movie night too.


I like movies but I don't really like watching them alone.  Since, I am alone at home, I have to make changes in my thinking, right?  So, one of the movies the kids wanted was the new "Conan the Barbarian".  I figured a long haired, muscular guy with his shirt off for an hour and a half should be OK.  Even if the plot is no good, the eye candy should make up for it, right?


I made some popcorn.  I poured a diet A&W root beer and I settled on my couch for the show.


It was OK.  I mean, the movie was fine, but I still did not like being there alone watching.  I was wishing T was there with me.  Even watching with my older boys or K would have been better than watching alone.


I will be writing a more upbeat, Thanksgiving post later today, but for now I needed to get this out.

Jim,
I've been keeping up with you over the last few years and I know that you have been through much angst and anxiety about your situation. But I have also read that you will be spending Thanksgiving with T and his family. Things are looking up. You are going to have a great day and the days ahead are going to be better and better as the new years unfold.
I want to hear great things from you in 2012.
Cheers,
Brother Bear

Jim,
Please pass this along to T. I can't post to his blog because I don't belong to one of the categories he allows.
Thanks,

T,
I'm so glad that you and Jim are having dinner together. You have been a joy to read about and a joy to follow on your own blog. I wish you both the best and expect to hear great things from you in 2012.
Love is to be cherished and shared.
Cheers,
Brother Bear
