The thing about Mondays off is that it makes Tuesday feel like Monday…ah, well…

My cheerleading class at the Y started up again Friday night. I have seven girls in the class this time, five of them repeats from the last session. (They like me! They really like me! Ahem…) I went home and watched About Schmidt, which I enjoyed very much. People who have seen this film…what did you think of the ending? R and I had a conversation about it, and we are in agreement. I thought it was positive, hopeful.

I had all kinds of plans for Saturday morning. I was going to go and get that estimate on the dent in my hood! I was going to clean the floors! I was going to read the Dead of Winter contest entries! What did I do? I watched Fillmore (loved it), fiddled with my blog, took a shower.

Um. Hmm…

I got to meet another friend of R’s this weekend, Mark O. I really enjoyed meeting him and look forward to seeing him again. 🙂 We just hung out at R’s place on Saturday night. Adam came over, and the boys frequently became engrossed in deep comic book/superhero conversations.

“Okay, guys, I’m really afraid Erin’s going to leave me,” R interrupted at one point. 😉

Last night, R and I went to see The Aviator. I knew next to nothing about Howard Hughes going in. (Er, he was that crazy recluse guy, right? That’s about all I knew.) Also, I believe the only Scorsese film I’d seen up to now was Goodfellas. (Oh, wait, I was wrong. Cape Fear, too.) But anyway, I really enjoyed it. I thought Leo did a fantastic job with the lead role. Cate Blanchett was absolutely brilliant as Katharine Hepburn. And it really didn’t *seem* like a 3-hour movie. 😉

(side note…R has been threatening to “tie me to a chair and make me watch his entire Scorsese collection.” I told him that tying me to a chair was unnecessary…heehee)

And now I’m back at work. Blaaaaaaaaagh. Next Friday is my last day here. Now, that’s a little terrifying…keep good thoughts for me, eh?
