Friday, At Last.

H. and I just got back from the movie theater - we saw Contagion, and we both really liked it. What we didn't like was the syndrome everyone else at the theater had. A husband had to repeat a lot of dialogue to his hard-of-hearing wife, and he did so by repeating things loudly in the middle of another character talking. Behind us there were two whispering soccer moms who kept telling each other their theories about what was going to happen next. Then there was the lady in the front row who would say "Oh they're doing _____ now", and fill that blank with whatever was on screen. She was a super old lady that was trying to acknowledge to herself what was going on, or at least that's what it seemed like. If someone was talking on a phone, I think H. and I might have walked out. There must be something in the water here that makes people turn into awful movie-goers.

H. is feeling better, although not 100%, and suggested that I get my own straw for the drink we shared during the movie. Somewhere between getting up from my seat and coming back with the straw I had a twinge in my back. I had trouble sitting comfortably, and even now (two and a half hours later) I'm still in pain. It's only on my right side, and it hurts when I breathe, twist, or cross my left hand over to the right side of my body (like when I tried to pick up our drink from the holder and couldn't do it). I thought maybe there was a knot in my back, but after a little back massage from H., it's definitely not that. I really hope the ibuprofen will take effect soon.

Last night's football game was actually pretty exciting. I had two players I was rooting for, and H. had one player to root for, all of them on the Packers, and all of them receivers. We would cheer when one of our guys caught the ball, and boo when someone else did. As of right now, H. has more points than I do, but the weekend isn't over yet. I want those chocolates!

Two recipes that sound scrum-diddly-umptious that I ran across today: Pumpkin Donuts with Buttermilk Maple Glaze and Chai Tea S'Mores. I have a very healthy addiction to chai tea, and making a cookie-like dough out of it sounds absolutely heavenly. The donuts are probably unhealthy, but they're pumpkin, people! With a maple glaze! Excuse me while I daydream about eating both of those delicious delicacies. drool.

That's about all I'm going to write. I've gotta find somewhere more accommodating to my back to sit for the season finale of Rookie Blue.
