..but still not my favorite thing.
After the grueling dentist visit yesterday (it took about 45 minuets for the dentist to fix the crown they messed up for my mom—I got a little nap while the anesthesia took hold) Mummy and I went to Barron’s.Here in East Texas we really don’t have many classy tea places, so we enjoy visiting Barron’s.Barron’s is the classy boutique/tea room/book store/decoration’s store.We sat right by the Godiva candy case which seemed like a good idea at the time, but as the steady parade of Valentine’s shoppers continued we began to wish we were sitting elsewhere.I found two cool books on the bargain shelf—I Kissed Dating Goodbye and the Oxford Kings and Queens of Britain reference book.The really cool thing was that it was just over $5 for both of them!I love finding good books at low prices.
I watched an interesting movie Sunday night—Zulu.While not 100% accurate it was still interesting.My two favorite lines were a very posh British Officer barking at his men, “Nobody said you could stop working!” as they were barricading their little fort from the Zulu’s and the same officer saying (can’t remember the exact words), “Hi!I saw you ___, your alive!” to a man who didn’t answer the roll call at the end of the action.We had three MK’s over for supper last night, Pete, Jamin, and Ben, who saw part of/half of/all of the movie (in that order).I enjoy MK’s—we should get some over at ETBU to make it cooler!It was interesting finally getting got see Zulu since it is one of my grandfather’s favorite movies.Final verdict—I liked it.Who couldn’t like posh British officers?

Lina: Zulu is about as accurate as they could make it, the Zulu wars predated the Boer War, also a fascinating period that demonstrated some drastic technolical innovations that exemplify the way technology impacts tactics. Well, I can't post very often on your blog, let alone read it very often, but wanted to say I'll be praying for you on your trip. Semper Fi, Jon G.
