Twilight

So Mommy is a fan of the book by Stephanie Meyer. She read it when they were on their cruise a few months back after Daisy Mae Maus' mom mentioned that many of her students had been reading the four books. So when she found out that they had made a movie, she told Daddy they were having a "date" night to see the movie. It was planned for Friday night for months. However, she had to pick her friend Glenda up from her knee surgery (all went well) so she didn't get home until about 6:30 to make it to the 7 p.m. movie. It should have been fine, but, well, apparently she wasn't meant to see the movie last night because the road to their favorite movie theater was backed up from an accident. They were going to be late for the start of the movie and she didn't want to miss the trailer for the new Harry Potter movie. Daddy offered to take her to the late showing, but Mommy had to attend a conference this morning so a late night was out of the question and they called the whole plan off.

She was really disappointed because she had been looking forward to this date night for months! But, as many have told her, when God's shuts a door, He opens a window somewhere. She was hoping to make it home for the 4 p.m. showing today, but that wasn't meant to be either because she didn't get home from the conference in time. She drove slower than usual after avoiding an accident on the freeway when the cars in front of her that slammed on their brakes to avoid a crash that had just occurred in the road ahead. It was the second time that Mommy has had to call 9-1-1 about an accident.

So she was a little stressed by the time she got home tonight. But that was gone when she discovered that Daddy spent the day cleaning - including the light fixture in the breakfast nook that was d-u-s-t-y! Daddy ran her a bubble bath, brought her a glass of wine, watched the news with her (she was on tv tonight) and took her to the 7 p.m. movie. Now that's a good date night. And, no spoiler alert needed here, the movie was far, far better than she ever imagined it would be. The book was good so she really expected the movie to be crappy but she wanted to see it anyway. So boy was she surprised when the movie was really good. In fact, so good that she wanted to see it again, but knew better than to push her luck by dragging Daddy to it for a second showing. So Aunty Michele, finish the book!!! Mommy needs a girl's night out at the movies.
