Today was

my birthday.


I got to do one of my favorite things tonight - go to a movie with Chris. In fact, we went twice - back to back (the first time ever). Can I tell you how fun it is to walk out at the end of a movie, head back to the front counter, buy a second ticket to another feature, and walk right back in all over again.


We started off with Dan In Real Life with Steve Carrell. Loved it. Had to come home and download Let My Love Open The Door and listen to it over and over again.


Round two was American Gangster with Denzel Washington & Russell Crowe. Another really good movie.


It was a really good birthday.

    We don't get out to the movies much anymore with a 4 month old at home, but can't wait 'til they come out on DVD, lol!

    Happy Birthday! So glad you had a good one! I've only done the double movie thing once, and it was so fun! Though, it would have been cooler if they had been good movies. ;)

    Happy Birthday! Glad you had a good day. I have never seen 2 movies back to back like that, I bet it was fun. My daughter's birthday was 11/03... nice time of year to be born, huh? :*P
    Also glad that Halloween was a hit with Simon. He and my boy sound so much alike. I wish we were "friends". Sometimes the "autistic spectrum" is a lonely place to be. Hugs to you.

    Happy Birthday! Glad you enjoyed Dan in Real Life. I thought it was fantastic. I'm really looking forward to American Gangster, so it's good that it's living up to the hype. Glad you had a great day :)
