Nice sunny day in February

Back again. Haven't been able to post much since I've been very busy the last 2 weekends. The weekend of my birthday we went to visit the family. Like to say it was a barrel of laughs but it wasn't, what else is new? We actually had a girl's night out, Mary, Susy and moi went to see The Bucket List. It was alright, I guess you can call it a dramedy. It was kinda sad sometimes because as you may or may not know the guys had terminal cancer and they make a list of the things they want to do before they kick the bucket. It was funny sometimes but they die at the end and they get buried (their ashes) atop a mountaintop they wanted to see but couldn't because there was too much snow at the time. But other than the movie things were blah....I hate going over there, I always come back in such a lousy mood but I didn't do it for myself. Joel wanted to see his mom, so that's really the only reason I agreed. Anyways, here I am, one year older, one year closer to 40 but not quite yet. All in all, it was okay. The next holiday in sight is Valentine's Day but we don't do that here, not anymore.

This past weekend we had to put in some overtime at work but not this week. Hopefully we'll have a regular schedule for awhile so I won't end the day all tired and stuff. Earlier I actually worked out. I got home at a decent hour, had dinner and rested up a bit and after turning the damn tv off I took to working out. Felt good actually. About time, huh? I actually do enjoy it but because of the surgery I couldn't do it for awhile but now I'm back in the game, although not fully healed, but...

We went to see Meet the Spartans. It was funny but stupid like always. Kinda as if it were written by a couple of teenage boys. Probably geared for that age group too but sometimes we just like to watch silly movies just to laugh. Since the guys at work gave me a gift card for Regal Cinema we wanted to use that but there was nothing good playing there this weekend, so.. Oh, next weekend I want to catch the new one Jumper about this guy that can teleport. You know me, I'm a sucker for sci fi movies especially ones having to do w/time travel and stuff. Actually, I don't think this one is about that but same difference. Couldn't make it to the Asian Festival this year, better luck next year.

Susan gave me The Blaze by Stephen King. It's a small paperback so I started reading it and I'm halfway through already. I still have the other Patricia Cornwell book that I still need to finish, I just need a few more pages to go. After that I can read the new SK one. I'm actually reading two books at a time. Plus, this weekend I bought another Jonathan Kellerman paperback that I really should wait to read until I get to the others.

I was just checking out the Russell Watson website and right now he's going through radiation treatments for, I think, a brain tumor. Hope he gets better soon.
