finishing what we've started

A year ago when we were first dating, tiffkin and I chose the movie Back to the Future for our date night. It was safe and fun, and the trilogy aspect gave way to excuses for future dates.

Well future dates did happen, and we certainly had have our share of movie nights since then, but for some reason the remaining installments of the original series were left unwatched. We always talked about watching them when we thought about movie choices and options, but they just seemed to slip through the cracks.

Well, finally, after a year, we finished what we started. This Sunday marked the joyous occasion. Marty dressed as Clint Eastwood and Dr. Brown figured out how to make an 1880s steam train fly. We did manage to find two additional gaps in the crazy storyline, but it was a mile marker we were happy to reach. It just seemed to bring closure to something we'd kept open for so long, even when we didn't have a strong reason why.

Do you ever celebrate silly milestones or victory in unimportant contests?

ho ho NO!

I am so not in the Christmas mood. I was cleaning out old emails today when I ran across one from November that read, "Get such and such in time for the holiday season," and I thought, oh no, I don't want to think about Christmas right now. What if it were really here? What if I had to go shopping and write out cards and decorate my house? What if I had to plan for all the Christmas parties and winter get-togethers characterized by chocolate teacakes and mistletoe? Oh, I would groan for certain. Even looking at this kitty makes my lips droop.



Do you ever fret things that are completely irrational?

happy may day!
