Weekend Happenings

I saw Charlie and the Chocolate Factory this weekend. I never thought I would end up liking it better than the original movie but I did. One of my favorite books of all time is The BFG by Roald Dahl. I have read it to each one of my children. I read almost all of Mr. Dahl's children's books to my kids so I was pleasantly surprised to find this movie a lot like the book. The end deviates but Willy Wonka is strange like I imagined him to be. The Oompa Loompas in this movie were awesome but I missed the tanning salon orange skin a bit.

I blew my diet this weekend too. I cannot resist the lemon pie at the casino. So not only did I lose money but I blew my diet. Oh well, when fat is fashionable I should be queen. I'll be the most desired woman in America.

Some good things that happened:

1. I found a good grocery store that will not put me into the poor house.
2. My DVD player and TV finally got hooked up.
3. I took pictures of the Missouri River and found a park that has a walkway along the banks.
4. I got princess parking at the casino (it means an up close and good parking spot).
5. I got a checkered poogle neopet in my McDonald's happy meal.
6. My husband's pager did not go off one time between the hours of 12 midnight to 5 am on saturday which means no one died and no one got hurt for 5 whole hours on a weekend. Well neurologically hurt or killed.
