Two Movies Just Wipes Us Out

My mom has offered for the next 12 years to watch Zoe on New Year's Eve so N and I can have a proper date.  In the past, we've bought a new DVD, I've cooked a nice dinner and we've stayed in.  Neither of us really like to be out with the drunk people on that night, so it's worked out well for us.

This year we bucked the trend.  That's not entirely true.  I wanted to buck the trend and N played along because his motto is "if mamma ain't happy, ain't nobody happy."

Since my mom hadn't got to see Zoe for the last two weeks since N wasn't in school, she picked her up early.  N and I ran out the door to start our marathon date.  First up was The Blind Side. 

I'm serious when I say this was one of thee best movies I've seen in a long time.  I just makes you want to be a better human.  Plus it's got humor.  Great humor.  I recommend this with every fiber of my being.  It's in my top 10.

Then we took a break for dinner at Applebees.  We needed fuel and the 55 gallon drum of movie popcorn wasn't enough.

After dinner it was our double feature of Sherlock Holmes.

Another excellent movie.  It was a different twist on the classic, but in a completely Guy Ritchie way.  If you love Lock, Stock and Two Smoking or Snatch, you'll love the way this movie was filmed.  It wasn't bloody or gross, it was suspenseful.  And brillant. 

We were two-for-two and totally stuffed from all the food.  We only made it until 11:15.  Actually I only made it until 10:45, but I fell asleep on the couch, so I don't count that.

I'm not sure when we got so old.
