Wednesday night Shan and I took Erin to “Boo at the Zoo”, She called me on Monday to remind me that it was her sisters birthday and that means Boo at the Zoo reminds us Mackenzie was born on the night we went. Erin looked so cute in her little kitty cat cat costume, especially in Burger King. She was also very brave this year compared to the previous years where I have had to carry her the whole time(1). This year I only had to carry her through the Headless Horseman part and it was Shan who screamed out loud when she noticed a little elf at the last minute crouching by her feet (it was hilarious). We rushed home to watch the the season finale of “Joe Schmo” but I think it is next week(2).
Last night I worked the Moose game. My grandma(3) came with me so it was fun to catch up with her. She really likes watching hockey and the last time she was at a game the Rattes were in town so we know it’s been ages. Grandma enjoyed the game but thinks the puck should be a little bigger. After the game I dropped off grandma and went to see “Texas Chainsaw Massacre”. I didn’t think she would want to see that one and since Shan already saw it (reason 346) I decided to go alone on a whim. I actually used to go alone quite often and find it very theraputic(4).
Survivor night tonight and I have to work so get your picks in!(5)
(1) – Erin was 8 in 2003.
(2) – What the heck is Joe Schmo? I think I will have to revisit this.
(3) – My Grandma Phillips died in 2016, 13 years after this post.
(4) – The last movie I saw by myself in the theater was “Everything Everywhere, All at Once” in 2022. I fell asleep for a bit and it was the best sleep I have had since.
(5) – We used to go to Nolan’s place for Survivor night and watch it with Melissa and Andrew. We would bet on who would be voted out next. It was awesome.
