In case inquiring minds want to know...or even if they don't, here are 5 things I've been up to this week.
1. Today, I felt like I was inside an old-school video game. I was one of the little aliens in Space Invaders, and the mean ole dermatologist zapped me over 100 times. Okay, he used liquid nitrogen to freeze off some moles/skin growths. (Sorry, do the words "skin growths" make your stomach tense up? I agree.)
I'm sorry. Did you see that number above? 100 times. Have you ever been stung by a bee? Multiply that by 100. Dang, it hurt. Hurt 100 times in a row. At one point, I asked the doctor, "Am I supposed to say 'Uncle or something?'" So now, for about a week, my neck and back look like I've got the Pox or the Scaly Mumps. I thought of posting a picture...but I guess I have a teeny shred of dignity left, and decided against it. But, if you see me in public, feel free to ask to see the war zone on my neck.
2. I've seen more movies at the theater recently than I have in a very long time. Here are the movies I've seen:
War Horse--loved it!! However, sensitive viewers beware--some scenes are difficult to watch. I loved the storyline, and learning something I'd never thought about--how horses were used in the war.
New Year's Eve--thoroughly enjoyed it! I didn't know what to expect, and hadn't even seen a preview of this movie beforehand. I LOVED all of the cameo appearances.
Joyful Noise--loved, loved it!!! Now, this movie was predictable, and I knew that going in. I just let myself enjoy Dolly Parton and Queen Latifah. What I didn't expect? The amazing voices, and just how much I would enjoy the music.
3. Here are the upcoming movies I CAN'T WAIT to see:
Red Tails

and I still haven't seen Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol

4. I've played 2 card games recently, and I have LOVED both of them. I don't always love games...especially games that require counting or keeping track of scores. (Like Nertz--my brain just doesn't work as fast as my opponents, I guess.) But, recently, I played Spoons and Golf (the card game), and thoroughly enjoyed them!
5. On Saturday, we are joining in a HUGE INDOOR garage sale. Please come by and buy some of our junk. And, if my husband's not looking, I may even GIVE you some...just to get rid of it. You may remember how MUCH I despise garage sales...
That's it for me! What have you been up to this week?
