Yesterday I (finally) got to see Wall E! I went with two friends and the (young) niece of one of the friends. I'd heard many different opinions on how children reacted to the movie, so I was curious to see if she would enjoy it. Myself and one of my friends (the aunt of said niece), enjoyed the movie. We laughed in all the "right" places and I teared up in all the "right" places. (I can't speak for my friend on the tears.) My other friend declared that the movie "was alright, but it's not one of my favorites". The young child got restless after Eve arrived, and actually started trying to have conversations with her aunt a few times (loose teeth, potty breaks, what are we doing next?). In fact, they missed the last five minutes of the movie and came back in time for the credits. Got to love those (second) potty breaks!
I don't think the niece was that into it, I didn't hear her laugh too often at anything so I wonder if the story line wasn't a bit over her head. She's probably in the five to seven age range. I do have to say that my Levi's botched the ending for myself and my other friend.
When we got up to let our friend and the niece out for the potty break, my friend's drink somehow latched onto the back pocket of my jeans and fell perfectly through the gap in my seat to rest (right side up!) on the floor. I retrieved the drink, my friend told me what happened, and we laughed so hard that (I at least), cried. Now if only I could teach those jeans to grab a Hershey bar or two.....
Which brings me to clutter. Tonight I helped move a friend of mine from DivorceCare group. I jinxed the whole thing by saying that she lives in an apartment, how much stuff could she have? Friends, the answer to that question is lots. Enough to fill up two apartments and a truck. In fact, we didn't even get it all moved. So. I am more determined than ever to sell a majority of my things in a yard sale. What I don't sell goes to Goodwill or the dump or I may even consider giving some of it away. There is no way that I will pay storage fees to hold my junk. No way.
Expect the yard sale to be heavy on books, dishes, one function kitchen appliances and candles.
