Goodbye January?

It's amazing how quickly time goes by...

Last Friday, Melissa and I went over to Mama Tav's for lunch.  It was nice to see her and chat a bit.  That evening I didn't feel much like going out, which led into a fight with my sister, so I stayed in instead.  I ended up watching Tiger Eyes and liked it, but I really wish it would have come out in the 90s.  I think it would have done better as a teen movie then.  I'm not sure that the book is all that popular with teens today...although maybe with the movie tie-in cover, it will have a resurgence?  I love the story, but I had a hard time when I realized that the pink Power Ranger (Amy Jo Johnson) was playing the mom.  That made me feel OLD!  But it is a really great story and I think they did a decent job on the movie (which they should since Judy Blume's son directed it).  After that, I went to bed early.

On Saturday, I had to work.  It was a long day!  I had a teen craft and 11 teens showed up, which was good but tiring.  We made lollipop bouquets and they seriously took 2 hours decorating their flower pots...

On Sunday, it was snowing like crazy, but I went out to my friend, Jen's house.  Her daughter, Leia, just turned 1.  Her party ended up being small, but nice.  She's just so cute!  Then that evening, Melissa and I took Kelly out for her birthday.  Somehow during the evening, Melissa and I managed to get over our fight and get along again.  It was really great seeing Kelly too.  We went and saw American Hustle.  I liked it.  The hair and costumes were awesome.  The acting was great and I laughed a lot.  Afterwards, we took Kelly to Slows.  Since she's new to Detroit and she loves bbq since she lived in Charleston for awhile, I figured it'd be the perfect place to take her.  I'm pretty sure she enjoyed it too :)

Monday-Thursday, I worked.  It's been crazy.  Luckily I'm off tomorrow and then back at it on Saturday.
