Maddie went to the midnight showing of Hunger Games Thursday night/Friday morning after hashing out all the details of what a midnight movie on a school night would mean and dad thinking she's old enough to make a good decision. She chose to go. Of course. Duh.
Brian and the boys are out of town so I stayed on the couch waiting for her to come home.
Hopefully soooo tired.
Nope.
She was thrilled and gushed about the movie and couldn't wait to see it again as soon as possible!
Then she bounced up the stairs ready to hop into bed and wake up in 2 hours for seminary. Conveniently for her she accidentally set her alarm for 5:30 pm and slept right through till I went to check on her. ugh. Missed seminary. She uses a skype-type thing when dad is out of town because I can't pick her up from seminary and get everyone to their prospective schools before the tardy bells ring.
After I got her and her sister safely to school I came home, exercised and couldn't stop thinking of her excitement about the movie. So after my shower I checked the listings to see if they had a show early enough that I could go to and still get home in time to pick up the kidlets from school.
THEY DID!!!!!
Off I went to the grocery store to get me some healthy treats for the movie. I JUST 'Jillian Michaeled' and wasn't about to blow all that hard work! I picked me up a container of mixed strawberries and blueberries, 'cause I could pop them in my mouth with my fingers, and off I went to the movies.
In the middle of the day. ALL BY MYSELF!
It was a great movie. They did well to honor the book. And the actors they chose were awesome.
I thoroughly enjoyed myself,
SO much so, that after piano lessons and dropping little Erin off at her friend's house for a sleepover Maddie and I headed back to the theater for a encore presentation!!!
The guy taking our tickets recognized me from earlier.
That was a little embarrassing, but no apologies here!
It was fantastic the second time.
Maddie would be begging me to go see it again today but poor chicken had to wake up at 4:00 this morning to get ready for her Choir trip! She is, right now, busing it with her fun friends and choir somewhere warm, uh...warmer.
Welcome Spring Break!
Hmmm. I'm feeling a bit famished.
Hungry anyone?
call me.

You are so funny. Twice in one day. I actually like going to movies by myself.
However, who in their "right mind" can go to the movie and not get popcorn and a soda. Sheeeesh girl.
I have a Jillian Michaels CD too and she is killing this 60 yr old. I have to "modify" quite a bit of her stuff.
now, maybe I should go make me some popcorn. (tee,hee)
GO TO LESLIE'S facebook page and see the FUN photos she has there of when she and her girlfriends went to the show. They look amazing. Emma went last night.
I haven't read the books....and we never go to the theatre. Boooo
