Today:
- The boys and I went to see The Muppets. So glad we saw it before it was out of the theaters. They really seemed to enjoy it. I enjoy that, with the exception of one bathroom visit, Max now sits through entire movies without much of an issue. We have come a long way since Up! :)
- After a delightful Wendy's lunch (Ignatius' favorite), I took a bit of a nap. Scott decided to play Mike Holmes and start ripping apart our basement. What? you say? But JoLynn, your basement was not completely finished. Indeed, you are correct. After almost 20 years of marriage, I realized that one of the golden rules of marital bliss is sometimes you ask questions, and sometimes questions will not help one understand any better.
- I also watched my first video for my MMEW scrapbook journey. Really good stuff.
- Upon waking and inspecting the lack of walls in my basement, I did an hour of Wii Zumba, did my 100s (push ups and sit ups) that I re-committed to, and de-Christmased, to a degree. The tree is still up, but that is the job of Destructo-Man.
Pondering the putting away of Christmas, I have to say that taking down the tree on New Year's Day is quite symbolic. I looked at the ornaments from the many years, thought about those years and events that occurred in them, and packed them away yet again. Some of them were good memories, and some of them stunk. But they all shaped our history and living through them shapes our future. That's all I have to say about that.
