Saturday, I set the alarm for 2AM. Rob got out of bed first when it went off and scurried off to see if it was worth the rest of us getting out of bed. Of course, I didn't hear him say he was on a recon, so when I got up ten minutes later and he was gone, I pouted. I tossed on my raincoat and was getting ready to go outside myself when he came back and said we'd be able to see the meteor shower from our back porch, albeit not very clearly.

I woke Chris and Phil up and they staggered down the stairs with me. The four of us stood, cricking our necks upwards to scan the skies. Then whoosh! whoosh! whoosh! Meteors! Sure, we couldn't see hundreds of them sailing past, given the light pollution of the neighborhood, but we did get to see quite a few in the five minutes or so we stood out there. It was really neat! Chris was pleased to have seen a couple that looked like comets.

Sunday, our necks already bent permanently upwards, we sat in the very front row to see Harry Potter. I really liked it. I think I enjoyed it most because I hadn't read the books yet... and I love British accents :) Rob said the best thing about it was that we didn't guess "whodunit" although of course, anyone who's read the books would know the answer right off.

Rob has not been keeping up on his journal, as I'm sure many of you noticed. He has been very busy getting to level 50 in readiness for the next EverQuest expansion that comes out. And then of course, there's some cheat code he found for The Sims, so he wants to test it out...it apparently gives them unlimited wealth. My boys used it this weekend themselves and bought gobs of stuff for their Sims family. Ah, the joys of unlimited wealth!

At the grocery store last night, Rob and I bought our first turkey :) It's ten pounds, which seems awful big for just the two of us...but I ADORE turkey leftovers. I am also commissioned to make a pecan pie. The one I did last year turned out rather well; I hope this year's does too.
