Not Cooperating

I found the cutest video of Katie on the flash drive I thought I lost last night. I was going to post it here, but blogger is not cooperating with me, sorry.

Another weekend at home. We didn't do much of anything except hang out around the house, but we had a great time playing with Katie. We discovered  that it is nearly impossible to watch a movie with her now. Last night we tried watching Alice in Wonderland and Katie went crazy when Alice fell down the rabbit hole. She ran up to the screen and yelled and shook her fists and then turned back to us as if to say, "did you see that??" Too funny! Tonight we had a similar reaction during Clash of the Titans while watching a battle scene. On both occasions the movies were started too late and she needed to be put in bed before the end, so we still haven't finished them.

Speaking of movies, I watched The Time Traveler's Wife Friday night while Doug studied (Katie was with her grandma.)  I was so disappointed!  Seriously, the worst movie I've ever seen based on a book.  I'm not even sure that I would have liked it if I hadn't read the book.  The book was so good, no better than good, it was great!  Definitely on my list for one of the best I've ever read.  And I'm always claiming that the book is better than the movie anyhow, but I was thinking that if this story was even half as good on screen, it would be pretty good.  The worst part of it all for me, is that now when I think of the book, I am imagining the characters as they were in the movie and that is not working for me at all.  Bottom line:  read the book, don't watch the movie!

Three Things...uh I mean 4 Things

Katie just went down for a nap, so I should be getting ready for work, but I didn't want to miss my post today...

Three Things I Love Right Now

1.  My napping daughter.  I love her all the time for sure, but about the time that she starts needing that nap is about the time momma needs a break.  Fortunately, she's still taking that morning nap and she goes down easily (most days) for me.

2.  Hazelnut creamer for my coffee.  Doug used the last of it this morning, so I had to settle for milk & sugar.  :(  It was okay, but not what I was looking for.  I probably would have been better off with some hot cocoa.  I'm not a hard core coffee fan.  I like my coffee very creamy and very sweet.  

3.  The Time Traveler's Wife, I just finished it the night before last and it was so wonderful.  Even if Doug was laying next to me going, "you're crying...why are you crying, it's just a dumb book..."  Sigh...he'd never understand.  This was truly a book that I wasn't ready for it to end and certainly not the way it did. 

Edited to add one more:

4.  Christmas music on the radio!  :)  I love Christmas music and I love even more that it drives Doug crazy that I play it in November.  Little does he know that I've already been singing Christmas carols to Katie for the last month!
