Season Opener
This past weekend we went to our first Phillies game of the season. My parents and brother came up for the weekend and we spent most of our time walking/shopping around the city. We took them down to Pat’s / Geno’s for cheesesteaks and let them choose which of the two places to visit. Those who have never been to Philly, the two most famous cheesesteak places are on opposite corners from one another. Everyone has their own opinion about which is better. Chris and I are fans of Pat’s. That’s where we all ended up. After eating, we headed down to the game. It was a great opener. A home run was hit to the third tier. But then I think Citizen’s Bank Park has the most home runs hit in it than any other major league ball park. I could be wrong, but the park is one of the smaller ones. I know this b/c my husband watches ESPN 24/7. It was only a matter of time before some trivia sunk in.
On Sunday we went to church and then I napped. In the afternoon, my husband obliged me and took me on a date to see “Up!” The moment I saw this movie advertised, I knew I had to see it. Best $12 I spent in a long time! It was fabulous. There was a section of the credits dedicated to all the “Up Babies.” This movie was in production for over 5 years!!! There were about 30 kids born, whose names were all in the credits, to parents working on the movie during this time. I have to say that the hard work paid off. I didn’t think I would enjoy the 3-D aspect of it. I mean, they have had 3-D glasses since the 50’s. And the technology has changed little. Still unrealistic and hardly 3-D. This was the best I’ve seen, and I didn’t go cross-eyed. WOW! I won’t spoil any of the movie. Just go see it. If you’re like me, bring tissues! I cried 3 times!!! You thought Lion King was sad….this is 10 times worse. There, you’ve been warned. My poor husband sat there comforting a sobbing wife in a kids movie. He should get an award for drying the most tears. I’m such a weepy woman!
This week is already stressing me out. It’s close…obviously. Also, I have jury duty next week. And a meeting that was supposed to be on the 13th got bumped to the 11th. So this means that I have to do most of the prep work this week, since I’ll lose a day next week. Please pray that 1) jury duty only takes up one day and I’m not called back and 2) that I make it through this week alive. We have company coming this weekend and all I really would like to enjoy our time with them and not worry about scheduling the entire time. I’m a worrier. A weepy, worrying, woman!
