Yay, me! I was finally able to get back to the gym yesterday! I've really missed it. And of course, my back felt great while I was working it...but hurts like the dickens this morning. I worked my back and legs, because those are what's been hurting. I only did 15 minutes on the bike, because my hubby was ready to head home at that point. We sometimes go together on Sundays. ☺I felt good, and was glad I went. Now if I can just get my back to hurt a little less...to the point where I can move a little...I'll go this morning too.
Yay, Green Bay Packers! Normally, I don't give two figs about football, even when it comes to the SuperBowl. But one of my friends posted something before the game, in our conservative knitting site, that made me want to cheer for a team. Copying and pasting here; I'm not sure if my friend came up with this on her own, or found it somewhere, so I'll give her credit and she can correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks, Michelle!
Every Red Blooded American should jump in line to support the Green Bay Packers! The Packers defeated the Chicago Bears on Sunday afternoon thus earning them the opportunity to go to the Super Bowl . By doing so, they saved the Hard-Working, Red Blooded, Taxpaying Americans literally several million dollars of tax money. How you say? Simple... we were told that if the Chicago Bears had won that President Obama (and probably his family) would be attending the Super Bowl to cheer on his hometown team. Since the Bears lost...the President won't be attending. The money saved from not using Air Force 1, the limosines, all the additional security, and let's not forget Michelle Obama's entourage, is literally several million dollars! Therefore every American should cheer on the Green Bay Packers at the Super Bowl to show them our gratitude. Oh...and let's not forget to thank Chicago Bear's Quarterback Jay Cutler for his role in the Packer's success! With that said...let's circulate this email to everyone we know so they can understand why they should cheer for America's team ....the Green Bay Packers!
And the Packers won! Yay!

Football and Movies
Yesterday was the Army/Navy football game. Since Hubby went to West Point, that game is bigger than the Superbowl for us. Well, to be honest, I still don't care all that much, since it is football. But I do make an effort to watch at least part of it. This year I only caught the first half. And not really even the whole first half; we missed the cadets marching onto the field, and the National Anthem, and the kickoff, and the first 3 points...and I left the party before halftime. But that was fine with me. I didn't want to go to the party in the first place; I only went to keep peace between Hubby and me. Army lost, again. I think the last time they won was in 2003.
Anyway, the reason I left early is that I had promised months ago to take Angel and Princess to see "Voyage of the Dawn Treader", the new Narnia movie. The original plan was to go on Princess's birthday, since that was the opening day for the movie, but Hubby reminded me that he would be at work on Friday, and of course we couldn't just leave Kitty at home alone, so we changed our plan and went yesterday. Despite having to drive almost an hour from the party to the theater, through crazy traffic, it worked out fine. Princess was particularly excited, because it was her first time to go to a theater. Angel has only been once before, to see "Prince Caspian", when she was Princess's age.
The movie was good, better than I had expected it to be. Actually, I was a little concerned last week, when I heard about some stupid comment that Liam Neeson(the voice of Aslan, who is basically God) made about Who Aslan is supposed to be. Fortunately, his comment wasn't part of the movie itself, just something he said in an interview somewhere. It was perfectly clear to me Who and What Aslan represented in the movie. Anyway, enough about the stupid actor; back to the movie. It was scarier than I'd expected(both girls were snuggled up to me, putting fingermarks on my arms), and the White Witch kept reappearing(she was in "Prince Caspian" at one point too) which she didn't do in the books, as far as I recall. Other than that, I don't remember any huge, glaring "artistic license" moments in the movie, of which I'm glad. I grew up reading and rereading the Narnia books, and I still love them, so I'd hate to see the general storylines or messages messed up by hollyweird. I am glad it'll be months before it's out on DVD, because I think it's too scary for Kitty at this point. In a year, though, it should be alright.
