We slept late this morning, and then I did a treadmill session and weights exercises. After that, I programmed the DVR for upcoming shows, and then got ready for the day.
Mother came over mid-morning, and we did the usual Sunday stuff...read the newspaper, washed a couple of loads of laundry (particularly the table clothes from Thanksgiving, which had been soaking in a stain removal solution). I also uploaded Thanksgiving Day photos and e-mailed them to family.
For lunch we warmed up leftover veggies from Thanksgiving...mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, squash, green beans and corn casserole, and Chinese beets.
After lunch, we trimmed the Christmas tree in the sun room. This large tree took three hours to decorate with six strands of colored mini lights, several strands of wooden cranberry garlands, and a ton of ornaments accumulated over the years.
We began the project around 1 p.m., and finished around 4 p.m. Mother went home after that. Then, since Hubbie had expressed interest in seeing the new movie, "Blind Side," currently playing at the local theater, I decided that tonight would be a good time to go. I decided it would be a good night, because I thought I understood the weatherman to say it would rain and turn colder tomorrow.
Well, wouldn't you know it, just as we were leaving the house, there came a downpour. But we went anyway...that's what umbrellas are for. And it was worth it. This a wonderful true-life story of Michael Oher, a homeless African-American kid who is taken in by a well-to-do white family, and goes on to become an All American football player and first-round NFL draft pick.
We are especially fond of triumph-over-adversity sports related true stories. Apparently, we aren't the only ones, because despite the weather, the theater was nearly full last night. Tonight, finally, there was a ticket taker in the theater, so we were able to use our complimentary tickets.
