Sharon and I haven't been able to go to many movies lately, as John will not sleep through them anymore, but we've been to a movie each of the past two weekends (John was with someone else). We saw Quantum of Solace opening weekend; I thought it was very good (not quite as good as Casino Royale), but you have to get through about a half hour of nothing but action scenes and chases before the plot really hits. This weekend, we saw Twilight with April and Jerry, who is a reader of the series. He thought the movie was awful compared to the books, but the rest of us rather liked it very much, and now I am interested to read the books myself (I have ordered the first one). I've heard mixed things, but mostly positive from readers my age. I used to always buck the "trendy" and "popular" books (ie., Harry Potter), but now I find myself reading them as well. It's hard to be out of the loop in book discussions :)
We think the kitten must have found his way back home - we haven't seen him in days. It's probably for the best, as the last thing we REALLY need is another pet.
I was hoping to finish the outside lights this past weekend, but we didn't get to it. We'll probably do them at night this week, as it is easier to see the lights at night (we just have to do the bushes). We're hoping to get all of the inside decorations up next weekend as well. We've started collecting the North Pole series Christmas village, so we're excited to set that up (we have some really neat houses).
We'll be having Thanksgiving at Sharon's parent's house, followed by the Black Friday gig. Mom and Dad will be here Friday night, and we'll do another different Thanksgiving dinner Saturday evening after the game.
Thank goodness this is a 3-day workweek. I have lots to do as well, so it will go very quickly. Sharon has her doctor's appointment in the morning (the follow up to the procedure after the miscarriage), so I'll head to that with her.
It's been extremely cold and dreary today - I don't mind the cold so much, but I DESPISE cold rain. Hopefully it will either turn to snow or the sun will come out.

Don't read Twilight! It's really only good if you have the mentality of a teenage girl with a major crush. The writing is awful. Get ready for a lot of "perfectly sculpted eyebrows" and sentences like "His beauty pierced me with sadness." Plus, the heroine Bella is a boring loser.
I read it so I could discuss it with my girls at school, which has been fun, but I would be shocked if you enjoyed it! Stranger things have happened though...
