Chantale woke up yesterday feeling like hell. She was so sick she ended up spending most of it lying on the couch. Suddenly, all our Xmas decorating plans of this weekend took a back seat.
I knew she wasn’t doing too well Friday night, so on Saturday morning, I let her sleep in and then James and I headed off for some groceries. When we got back, she was up but could not eat anything. So, James and I had a little picnic in the living room to keep her company. We watched some special features of X2 (I wanted him to see the History of the X-Men) and after a while I went out with him again to give Chantale a chance to actually sleep.
We drove off to Komico and pick up a couple of weeks worth of comics. Sometimes, I still get shocked at the price of comics even after all these years. Anyhow, I picked up a few extras for James (Dragon’s Lair) along with his usual Justice League Adventures so he was quite happy 
Since James is going to be singing some Grease songs for his Holiday Concert at school this week, we decided to watch Grease as our regular “Family Movie Night”. So, we got our supper ready and popped it into the VCR (I still have to get it on DVD) and watched the special. Then, before the movie actually started, we showed him how to “dress up” the same way and slicked his hair back and everything Very cute. There were a couple of makeout scenes we skipped ahead on but otherwise he watched the entire movie – entranced! It was really fun
Hard to believe I was 11 when it first came out and I watched it in the movie theatres… 6 times
