Well... It's 2008! I can't keep my days straight though! Today feels like Monday, but it's Wednesday! School starts back tomorrow which is an odd day to start back, but whatever. Resolutions??? We have the same resolutions as everyone else I think... Drop a few pounds, hit the gym, eat better, make more money, spend less money, etc. etc. etc. We're really looking forward to this year though :) Last night after Mike got home from work we went to dinner and to see The Golden Compass. Excellent movie, definitely a must see. However, I was a little surprised (as I always am when this sort of thing happens) that so many people were talking on their cell phones during the movie! First of all, I have a VERY hard time believing that any of these people are SOOO important that they have to answer their cell phones during a movie. None of them appeared to be doctors or surgeons and such and none of them got up and left the theatre in a hurry as you would if it were an emergency. Second of all, these people paid for movie tickets and they're not even watching the movie, PLUS they're preventing us from fully enjoying it! They could/should have stayed home and talked on the phone for crying out loud! Which brings me to my next point... Why do parents insist on bringing their newborns, infants and/or toddlers to a movie that is obviously not suited for them?! Again, they pay for tickets (as do we) and no one can enjoy the movie because of the screaming child that isn't being taken out of the theatre! Why bother going??
