stuff and more stuff

seldneiWe took the Zweeble to see The Princess and the Frog today. Scott liked it a lot. I probably would have enjoyed it more had we not, due to my mis-reading Fandango, gotten there an hour and ten minutes early. Let me tell you, for the last five or so minutes before the movie actually started, my BlackBerry totally paid for itself--thank you, god, for YouTube and a smart phone. And for the Doctor Who BBC ad thingie I posted a few days ago.
Anyway, it felt like we were in the movie theater for freaking ever, and it was not the fault of the movie at all. But I did like it, especially Ray the Cajun firefly (I got all teary at the end), and the things I recognized from when we lived in Louisiana. Like Ray the Cajun firefly. The guy doing that voice did a respectable Cajun accent, from what I recall.
The Zweeble ... I don't know. He was tired and restless at the end, so it will probably be a day or so before I find out if he liked it.
Then I went out shopping. I've been needing some new t-shirts and undergarments. Stuff has just been wearing out left and right the past couple of months (as opposed to my just getting sick of it, which is what usually happens), and, in an unusual turn of events, I have plenty of work clothes and jeans, but very few casual shirts. So I found two new t-shirts, got a new tank top, got some underwear, and in a totally amazing stroke of luck, actually found two decent bras without any pain or bloodshed on my part.
I could still use a couple more shirts, I think, but things are not quite so dire as they were. One of my new shirts is a purple Queen baseball t-shirt, which makes me happy. Z. got a Queen t-shirt for Xmas, so he and I can kinda match at music class. :)
I also got a book, and got the Zweeble two books and a stuffed Wild Thing. He really didn't get as many books as I was hoping he would for Christmas, so I figured I'd make up for the lack. :)
He's been a really good kid the past few days. Actually, he's a pretty good kid overall, I think, but he's not getting into quite as much mischief as he has been the past couple of weeks or so. And he hasn't been obsessed with the TV as much. I have a theory--I believe that he's got a ton of more age-appropriate toys, now, and so he isn't as bored as he, apparently, was before. This is a good thing. I foresee a future of trying to keep ahead of him ... yeesh. He can't learn to read fast enough.
Of course, next weekend I need to purge all the baby toys from his room to make room for the new stuff. And while he doesn't play with it, he knows it belongs to him ...
