You Can Dance... You Can Jive...


I was reunited with my friends from ABBA tonight! My friend Cindy and I went to see the movie Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again!

Yup. Basically another sing-a-long to ABBA music – only I didn't recognize all the songs. Gasp! I'm gonna have to go back to the museum and get that straightened out!

It was funny seeing a Stockholm scene (Like a dork I pointed to screen and said, "I was there!") and some Swedish flags. Just miss that place!

Was a good movie, too. More serious or emotional this time versus more humor in the first. But good. Yes, I cried. But it's been established I'm a dork. A sappy, Hallmark movie-lovin' dork.

And a tired one. Long week. Hittin' the sack before a busy day tomorrow. I won't have visions of sugarplums dancing in my head tonight. More like ABBA.

And Cher. Yes, you gotta see it!

Lordy, Lordy, the Temperature is 40!

While we were sleeping last night, Jack Frost sneaked into the neighborhood, and the temps dipped down to 40! It was bad enough we practically had to wait until May Day for the snow to melt. Now Autumn is creeping in and (gasp!) we're still wearing white!

Contrary to the belief that cool temperatures make "good sleeping weather," I just couldn't sleep last night. The culprit: ABBA.

I went to see the movie Mamma Mia yesterday afternoon and "Dancing Queen" has been dancing through my head ever since!

I actually ended up going to the movie by myself, something I'd never done before. But when I found out it was still playing, I had about 15 minutes to get ready -- and that is clearly not enough time to convince, coerce, bribe hubby to go with me. In the end, I was fine with that. I would definitely classify this one as a "chick flick." So girls, go see it! You'll love it, I promise!

So back to this "sleeping weather." I am wondering if I was singing "Take a Chance on Me" or something in my sleep because hubby was up, showered and out the door before my alarm went off! I guess I better pop in a different CD on the way home tonight. I hear it's going to be chilly again and I intend to take advantage of it!
