I'm convinced I'm a bit of a fuddy duddy. After coming close to falling asleep last night before the movie even started, (we went to the 12:10 showing--one of eight at our local theater--and it was swarming with people and lines and...weird outfits) I didn't get home till 3:00 a.m. and had to get up at 7:00 to take my kids to camp and then ferry my niece around the city. Just got back home at 4:30 p.m. I will say this--age-wise there were fuddier duddies than me at the same showing right along with all the preteens and teens. I found that vaguely comforting.
Then today I was pulled into Hollister and Abercrombie & Fitch (which I tried to convince my niece were actually the very same store), abercrombie (kids clothes), and then abercrombie again after she changed her mind. All I could think was, 'Will someone turn down the music and turn on the lights?!?' I think I held it together pretty well, all things considering.
Tonight my niece and my husband are going to see Eclipse--at least that's their plan--and I plan on going to bed quite early with my book. Just thinking about it brings a smile to my face.

A Little Break
Tomorrow is BIG NEWS around here...at least for me. Both of my boys are spending the whole week at day camp. They've done single-day camps and VBS before, but this camp will run from 8:15-2:15--almost equivalent to an entire school day--and entire school WEEK! After an intense three weeks of summer, I'm more than ready for a little break.
I'll have just enough time to run some errands by myself (grocery shopping has never looked so good!) and maybe squeeze in a little time to write a bit before my niece arrives for a visit on Tuesday evening. After that, it'll be all about the shopping (her preference).
Except that Tuesday night at midnight I'm joining a group of friends for the midnight showing of Eclipse. I think the idea of this appealed to me more than the reality will. I was told we'd need to get there at 7ish to get good seats. And as my eyes were bugging out in response to that comment, someone else said it would be more like 5ish. NO WAY am I sitting in a theater for 5-7 hours before a movie even starts. That's just crazy. So we'll see how it goes.
Should be an interesting--and hopefully relaxing--week.
