tuesday night

Guess what! M and I are going out on a date tomorrow night to see the Harry Potter movie! My mom is coming down and will watch the baby while we go! I am kind of excited. I've left her with Mom before but not for this long. I think we may even have dinner while we're out. My mom is awesome. M's wisdom teeth removal is Thursday morning, so she'll also be around for that, which makes things easier.

Tonight, we went out to buy ice cream in preparation for M's inability to eat solid food. My dear, sweet husband bought three different cartons of ice cream for his recovery. I think perhaps he is looking forward to one aspect of this a little too much.

I am reading To Kill a Mockingbird for the first time, and am surprised to find that I am enjoying it very much. I didn't read it in high school because the honors class I was in read something else while everyone else read this. I think it might have been The Grapes of Wrath that we read instead. I always feel a trifle strange when I read something for pleasure that I would previously only have read because I was required to do so. I've been out of high school for ten years and I still feel that way. One day I'm going to realize I'm a grown-up, but I guess it won't be today.

In other news, my sweet baby was a tiny brat last night, and refused to stay asleep until 2:30. She sounds like she's gearing up for the same sort of night again, so I'd better get to bed so I can take over the next shift. Having a baby is fun but maybe not so much during the night hours.

Hang in there tonight and enjoy your date tomorrow night. :)

I've already seen Potter and I think you'll like it. I remember seeing the first one in the theater when Luke was 3 months old. It was my first time "out" without him and I hope your experience is equally pleasurable.

Why are you surprised to be enjoying Mockingbird? That is a SUPER book. I'm the other way around...never read Grapes of Wrath, but we're going to read it this year in our book group so I'll finally be able to say I've read it.

That userpic of your cutie baby is SO CUTE.

It is! I finished it last night. I think I'm surprised because the only thing I knew about it (other than a vague thought that it might have something to do with racism) was that they had to read it in English class, and considering some of the other dreadfully boring stuff that we read... ;)

Thanks, on the userpic. :) We have been doing little photo shoots every so often, and that one is now one of my very favoritest pictures of her. So sweet!

"Grapes of Wrath" is a fantastic book (it would be worth it for your book club to also research want prompted him to write the book- very interesting in its own right).

Did you never see the movie either? Gregory Peck is AWESOME. :)
