I think this is the longest I've gone without blogging in a while! I tried twice last week to post a video of Samuel, but each time it wouldn't work, so I threw my hands up and walked away.
We had a lovely weekend. Friday night, we met my friend Shelley at the park for a photography session. The setting was beautiful. A cold front was moving in and leaves were blowing everywhere (and the temperature dropped while we were there). Samuel was NOT in a cooperative mood, so I'll be surprised to see any pictures of him smiling (or looking at the camera for that matter), but I'm excited to see what kinds of things Shelley captured. She is always able to discover little bits of magic with that camera of hers.
Here's a preview of the clothes we wore – brown and cream!
Then we headed to a nice Italian bistro and came home to watch Kung Fu Panda…cute movie! "There is no charge for awesomeness…or attractiveness."
On Saturday I ran a bunch of errands and then met my mom at the Angelika movie theater. It's my favorite theater in town…very swank. A few weeks ago she and I went there to see this movie:
It was so good! Sad and moving and triumphant at the same time. I recommend it.
On Saturday we saw this movie:
I have NEVER seen a movie that made me feel this way. I was glued to my chair at the end. Covering my mouth with my hands. Breathless. Unable to move. Unable to speak. My mom and I laid our heads on each other's shoulders as we watched the credits…not quite sure what to do with ourselves. It is so well-acted…so amazingly filmed. And the story is…well, the story is heartbreaking and moving, as you can expect from a Holocaust film. Go see it. But know that I warned you. You will never be the same.
Then on Saturday night, Derek and I headed to our friends' the Kovach's for their long-planned and highly anticipated 80s party. It was hard for me to fully play the part, because I was ages 5-15 in the 80s, so I went with a young look. And Derek went with what Derek was doing – a mullet! We listened to music, played trivia, and did some karaoke. Very fun!
My favorite part of my outfit was the jellies – which I did wear in the 80s – a pair of pink jellies. But when a friend accidentally stepped on my foot with her stilettos (it was my fault, she didn't know I was behind her), I remembered why it is not a good idea to wear jellies. I'm doctoring a deep bruise! 🙂
