Oh I had such a nice night the other night! First I have to say I’ve been eating great. Haven’t really kicked in the exercise, but Lori recommended changing one habit at a time and that’s what I’m doing. Every once in awhile I turn on the Gypsy Kings and shake my groove thang in front of the mirror. *Insert jiggly sound as my butt wiggles*
So about last night. I went and had a girl’s night with my friend Patricia! We went to dinner at Applebees, and I ordered healthy for the most part. I had their chicken with garlic and asiago cheese. It pretty much tasted like arse, but that was due to the fact the chicken was undercooked. I hate it when you bite into something, and have to move your teeth back and forth a few times. But the veggies were great, the bread (yes I ate bread) was great, and the rice was good!
After dinner we went to buy tickets for The Da Vinci Code, and even though we were 45 minutes early, they were sold out. And they were showing the movie every hour in multiple theaters, so we didn’t think it’d be a problem. So we bought tickets for the 9pm showing, and went shopping. We ALMOST bought stuff and then had the “Just walk away” conscience moment.
The movie itself was better than I thought. Yeah it was a little long, but it followed the book almost exactly. They changed a couple small things, two kind of pissed me off. And there was kind of a Village of the Damned type moment at the end. But who knows. I read the book and LOVED it. The movie is usually never as good, and again I find that with this one. But it wasn’t bad. Overall I would give it a B.
Did anyone else see it, plan to see it? If you saw it, what did you think?
You went to the movies? *Sigh* I’m jealous. Sounds like you’re doing great.
What did you see shopping that you could walk away from? Must not have been books. I can’t walk away from books.
Jen! LOL I found a shirt that looked ‘okay’ on me. I kept thinking how ridiculous it was for me to buy a shirt i only look okay in.
Hee hee. This is the first movie I’ve seen in 5 months. So it was good. :)
I never go to the movies anymore. With a 3 yr old and a 1 1/2 yr old, it’s tough.
My mom saw it and read the book and said it was pretty good. My dad who didn’t read the book thought it was good, so she took that as a good sign.
Yes, I live through my parents cos they always go to the movies. How sad is that?
My time will come, I tell you!!!!
I went to the movies for the first time in years the other day. Like 3 years. I watched MI3 and was surprised how good it was.
Girls nights are always so fun. Glad you got to go out.
I have to admit that I have no interest in the movie, and I haven’t read the book. Does that make me bad or unusual? I haven’t been to the movies for ages. We normally get DVDs and have a movie night at home. I’m looking forward to the new Pirates’s movie. I might be able to persuade my husband to actually go out to see this one!
I love the Gypsy Kings. I was playing them the other day – the perfect band to shake and jiggle to :-)
YOu know, I’ve never read the DV Code. I’ve never had the urge to read it. Now with the movie out – I’ve been thinking about it… If hubby wants to go – then I’ll go. If not, then I can easily wait for DVD. I just don’t know why I’m not interested in reading this bestseller.
I want to see it and it’s not playing here yet, waaahhh! I hate living in the middle of nowhere!
I saw it Saturday night and really liked it a lot. I haven’t read the book yet, though.
Crystal, where the heck do you live that it’s not out yet??????
I love the Gypsy Kings. Once went to one of their concerts and they were great. They had everyone on their feet almost the entire concert. Good for you for having a good meal and enjoying it! ;-) I’m with Shelly above I most likely won’t see TDVC and I haven’t and won’t read the book. But I don’t mind hearing and reading about other people’s experience of it. ;-)

Sounds like you had fun. I had a girls day on Saturday. We had a candle party, went to dinner, and then a movie. We saw Posiden. It was ok. I havent read The Da Vinci Code yet but it is on my list. I dont want to see the movie until I read the book.
Thanks for visiting my blog!!!
I’m sorry your food was a disappointment.. makes me feel bad that I was sitting across from you having an orgasm about mine! Nice garlic breath by the way! lol
Village of the Damned… I love it! You’ll have me laughing for weeks about that!
I loved our girls night out and am so glad we could have it!
