So Thursday night my mom and sister came in town for our second show of the season, Mama Mia! I had seen the movie a few months ago and loved it. Thanks Susan, who I drug to that movie. (She hated it) And I have the soundtrack to the Broadway show so I was really looking forward to seeing the play. It did not disappoint. It was really good. The music is so fun and upbeat. And we were surrounded by menopausal women who loved ABBA in their prime. I saw more middle aged women bopping their heads and singing along. So cute!
Friday, my mom and sister went Christmas shopping and, well, I went to work of course. I did not mind going to work though because we were celebrating one of my coworkers getting her Masters and we had all made stuff for a huge breakfast. We are talking tons of delicious breakfast food. I made a casserole, and other people brought cheese grits, muffins, ham and biscuits, fruit salad, coffee and juice and more. That afternoon my mom and sister met me at a doctors appointment that left me not feeling so well so Friday night we all stayed in and my mom cooked Kenny's favorite dish that she makes. It was yummy and I fell asleep on the couch. Exciting times people.
Saturday, Kenny and I got up and got ready so that we could take a Christmas card picture. No fancy photographers or anything, but it still takes time. We managed to get one I think. At least we thought it was cute. I am sure I will put it on here at some point. And then we all went shopping. I bought some material to recover my dining room chairs, and do some other things in our front room so I was really excited. I managed to get a little Christmas shopping done and my mom and sister helped me get everything wrapped that need to get wrapped. Very productive!
Saturday night we crammed ourselves in the movie theatre with our pre-ordered tickets, yes pre-ordered with all the other high school girls and crazy Twilight fans. This was opening weekend for the movie. Did anyone else see it? Poor Kenny went with us and had no idea what was going on in this movie. It is hard for me to even begin looking at the movie objectively because I was enjoying seeing the book in real life so much that I have no clue whether the movie was any good or not. So I had a great time, but I still love the books way more. The good news is the movie did so well in its first weekend that they have already green lighted New Moon to be made into a movie. 
Sunday, my fam left and I did some things around the house. Then Tracy and Mollie (a devoted blog reader right!) came over to visit. And I got to meet the newest member of the Shearin family. Here she is, isn't she cute! Her name is Millie. Mollie and Tracy stayed all afternoon because their boys were off hunting and we had a good time hanging out. Sunday night, Kenny and I hung out and I taped the AMA awards so that I could just fast forward to all the peformances. Did anyone else think Taylor Swift's (who I happen to love) performance was so boring. I certainly did. And I also thought Alicia Keys looked so pretty apart from that thing on her head.
Get excited for a short week and some Turkey! Yay! Its Thanksgiving week!

Okay, I picked up twilight because you had been blogging about it. I'm already on book 3. I started last week. I think I may have a crush on Edward!
Watch Mamma Mia online free on los movies now. Good God, what were the filmmakers thinking? I have never seen the stage show on which this nightmare of a film is based, but watching this thing, I have to wonder if it's really any better, even with people who can actually sing.
The plot and characters are nonexistent, and the songs often have little to do with what little is actually going on in the story, but those are not the reasons why this film is so terrible. It's the obnoxiousness and utter lack of charm and humor. Every moment is cluttered with screeching, laughing, screaming, and terrible singing. It's enough to make a lover of musicals abandon the genre forever.
