Our host is Gattina. Come join us and tell us what YOU did this past weekend! After all, you never know when you will need an alibi!

The weekend was really more of the end of the holiday season. Hubby and I hit a few sales, but mostly we were very quiet and at home. I likes this, as it seems that Christmas made me feel a tad on the tired side this year. Getting old? Probably, although I admit to enjoying every minute of Christmas with my family.
Saturday, New Years Eve, Hubby asked me if I wanted to go to the movies. Sure. I didn’t want to go see anything to heavy, or gory, or scary, so we chose to go see “We Bought A Zoo”. What a splendid family movie. I have linked to the movie trailer, so you can see a little bit of the story. It’s a true story, which makes it all the more interesting to me. And little Maggie Elizabeth Jones just stole my heart!
My only gripe, was that in this packed movie theater, were parents who brought their sick children to the movie. People, I beg you, if your kids are sick, don’t take them out! Let them rest at home watching videos.
Hubby and I came home after that and turned all the Christmas lights on. I love the lights, and I almost hate to taken them down, but it is time, and I plan to get them all put away by the end of the week.
We watched several DVD movies that we’d gotten during the holiday season. Everything from classics like “The Birdman of Alcatraz” to “Live Free or Die Hard”. Gotta say, I just love a good Bruce Willis action flick!
New Years Eve we dined on appetizers. I had all this food in the fridge and I portioned it down to appetizer form and we noshed on that all evening long. That was perfect, as I had no big meal to make or clean up!
I spent part of New Years Day rereading Dackel Princess. I don’t often do this, but today I did. It was fun top see what I was thinking and doing so long ago. Especially during our cruises. As I mentioned a couple of weeks ago, we’re going on another one, and I wanted to “remember” some of my thoughts and feelings. Truly, a cruise is the only time I really have a vacation as Hubby and the pups keep me on my toes.
We have company today. Looking forward to the visit, but I need to get to the store so I can feed them. Off I go in a bit. Love YOU, Mel
I agree, you deserve a vacation. You do so much cooking and taking care of dogs is not all fun.
Happy New Year dear friend!
So you had a nice cosy New Year’s Eve too ! The film looks cute and funny ! Just what I need in this season ! I don’t know it, probably it is not yet in Europe or maybe has still to be translated into French !
Happy New Year to you too ! future Grandma !!
I think my daughter and I may go see the Zoo movie this week once hubs is back to work. We all went to Mission Impossible and loved it-super intense though! I needed a glass of wine when it was over!!
