So you say it’s the end of 2003? GOOD. Be gone. POOF! End, damn you! *kicks 2003*

I finally got to see Ben and exchange gifts! I got monkey slipper-socks, a monkey/palm tree clock and the cutest monkey head pillow. Ohh, maybe I’ll take pics and post them since it’s very hard to describe *g* We did dinner at Macado’s which is always good, then we jetted on over to the cinema to see what? That’s right, ladies and gentlemen….ROTK. I know I’ve seen it three times now, which is a personal record for me, but I honestly could watch it everyday of my life, forsaking all other movies. I’m so sprung on a movie……heh. Anyway, then we went to the big 24-hour Wal-Mart and got a HUGE treat. New LOTR miniature, but cool, figures were just added to the stock! We each got a Sauron/Isildur/Elendil set, and I got a Gandalf/Shadowfax figure. Very much fun, indeed!

I don’t know what it is, but I am so sleepy. Perhaps it’s the getting older bit. Mom and I spent about 7 hours shopping yesterday (starting at 6:00am) and I had no nap. Okaaaaay….that’s why I was tired last night. What’s the reason I can’t get moving today? I’m just awaiting the call from Ben so we can set up some kind of fun for later….that’ll perk me up *g*

Thanks to everyone who contributed to the list—*Hugs*
