08/22/2002 Entry: "Peaceful"
Ah, the baby's upstairs napping, and the stove is merrily cooking a nice meal of chili and cornbread for me to take to a new friend who's just given birth. It's quiet, dark (I have the lights off to make the house feel cooler), and so peaceful around here.
There's a certain satisfaction lingering over the day, despite a few snags. I had to get new plates for my car instead of just re-registering the old ones, due to a title nix-up, but it feels kind of nice to see the snazzy new red, white, and blue plates on my car. I rented Lord of the Rings for tonight, and that was a hassle, too, since I found out that my name wasn't on the card with Eric's; still, it was resolved with only a minor fuss, and the DVD is waiting for me on the chest freezer. Sam threw a royal fit at lunch (teething time again), throwing fries everywhere before I could stop him, but the restaurant owner gave him a free roll of candy to show him that there were no hard feelings. And even though our friends at the nursing home were both feeling ill today, cutting our visits short, Sam was able to enjoy the hour by toddling up and down the halls and bringing smiles to plenty more of the residents.
Good day, so far.

Did you get a chance to watch LoTR? Did you like it? Just FYI, the 2nd movie comes out Dec. this year and the 3rd movie comes out Dec. next year (2003). So just be warned if you find the ending a bit "sudden". There is a lot more to come! :)
I was a big fan of Tolkien during my childhood so this attempt at reproducing his books on the big screen was highly anticipated. It exceeded my expectations to say the least. :)

We saw Lord of the Rings last weekend - it's good. If you like fantasy, you'll like it. The movie ends off in the middle of the climax though, so don't be too disappointed.. I hear the next part comes this winter.
I still have my gold plates. :)
Do you still use the Bonjela? How's it worked for you?
