Why can't a computer read my mind?

Okay, so in yesterday's post I told you I mailed off all my Christmas cards. Well when I wrote that I was wrong. About 6:00 last night I was doing some other things at my dining room table, which serves as an additional desk, when I looked over and saw a stack of addressed envelopes that hadn't been stuffed or mailed. So I quickly did that and got them in the mail. Although, that means I they went out with today's mail instead of yesterdays. It also meant that I ran out of cards. I had two left and 6 more names on my list to get addresses for. So last night I had to go to Target to buy a box of generic cards. They are nice, but my cards had my picture on them and a witty comment. Oh well. One note about the Christmas cards: normally I like to write a letter and place it in the card, my take on a Christmas card but hopefully not so tedious. But this year it just didn't happen so i wrote a note saying I would write a year-end review on January 1 on the blog. This mean for those of you who don't get a Christmas card you won't miss out on my wrap up of the last year. Hooray for you! You won't want to miss it. I know that sounds awfully arrogant but really it'll be good. (Maybe, I'm over selling it, a bit!)

A complaint. So this afternoon I went to mail the 2 international cards at the post office. They have this automated postage machine. I went up to the machine to buy the postage because the line for the counter was long. But when I got to the end of the screens, after the letter was weighed, and I was told how much it would cost, 90 cents, I pushed the button that said purchase and it said I had to spend at least a dollar. It wanted me to buy an extra stamp but I didn't need an extra stamp. I wanted it to take into consideration that I was going to buy more postage. I cancelled and got in line and waited.

This week I have also seen two movies, one Monday afternoon and one this afternoon. On Monday I saw Atonement and today I saw Juno. I really liked them both. Juno was hilarious and touching,--Atonement heart breaking. They are both so good. If I could only see one, it would probably be Juno. The writing was just so witty. There were lines I so wanted to remember but there were just too many of them. Ellen Page who plays the title character was really, really good. In Atonement, there is one character who ages from a little girl to an old woman throughout the film. And they way they visually signal this to the audience is they kept her hair style exactly the same. Come on, 80 years of the same hair style? I think they even gave her the same barrette. Ridiculous. I think the audience might have been smart enough to figure out that she was the same person even without the hair.

Alright, I'm off to have dinner with my friend Karen.

Peace out!
