11/15/12

So, as I arrived to work today, I was very perplexed. I seriously get to work 15 minutes late EVERY day. It does not matter what time I get up, what time I leave, where I’m dropping the girls off for the day. I am ALWAYS 15 minutes late. Either I oversleep, the girls are putzy, I have to do something/fill something out at school, I need to put gas in the car, there’s an accident along the route, a trooper on the side of the road or just some slow moron in front of me in the left lane. It just never fails, I can leave on time, early, late – 7:15 is still the time I get to my desk. I don’t get it.

At least today is my Friday!

I spent my lunch break today putting together a nice long e-mail to our insurance agent. Our homeowners insurance is set to go up again this year (after I just got it down last year!), Christian doesn’t have a loan on his truck anymore so I want to adjust his coverage, and my life insurance policy is outrageous (because of my heart disease), so I’m putting him to work trying to figure out how to lower our premiums. Also, today was the last day of open enrollment for our insurance at work. My medical and dental stayed the same. I finally added Life Insurance on the kids (it just seems to morbid to think about...) and I’m good to go for the year!

I picked up the girls after work, gave them some leftovers for dinner and hung out for a while. Christian stopped to get a haircut on his way home and then we had dinner. Once Amelia was down for the night, I was off on a date night with the BFF. Tonight we were off to see the new (last) Twilight movie! They actually offered a 10:00 showing this year, which is much better than trying to stay up until midnight! And, it’s a good thing I ordered our tickets ahead of time, because we got there 2 hours early and it was already sold out! There was a line forming, but we were told that was for the midnight showing and could just head in. We thought it was strange, but we weren’t complaining. The ticket handler pointed us to our theater…which was dim and empty. We grabbed the best seats in the house, and chatted away. Eventually another employee came in and asked us to step into the hallway while he ran the film through to make sure everything was working. When he let us back in, we asked if we were actually supposed to be in there. He informed us that no, we WERE supposed to be in line, but he let us stay! So, instead of sitting in the loud, crowded, full, uncomfortable hallway with everybody else, we had our nice, quiet, plush seats to relax in! Seriously awesome!

The movie was SO GOOD! Kari read all the books and even she thought the movie was pretty amazing. It really had one of the best twists I’ve ever seen in a movie – even the people that read the books didn’t see it coming (but still thought it fit fine with the books). I can’t wait to see it again when it comes out on DVD!

I dropped Kari off after the movie, and watched a show to wind down for bed. I’m definitely going to be tired tomorrow! You only live once, right?!?

Here is a shot I got of Amelia before I left tonight. Again, no clothes. Do you see a pattern here?
