So, Buddy and I went to see "UP", the new PIXAR movie, this weekend, and I have to say it was pretty good! I am continually impressed with PIXAR's quality of movies and the stories they come up with - such creativity! If you have ever seen a PIXAR movie, then you know that they usually show "shorts" at the beginning. The one this time was great! It was definitely one of my favorites!!!

The 3-D showing was good, and since we saw it on a Sunday night, there were very few people in the theater (a HUGE plus!). The 3-D glasses tend to get annoying after a while, but the movie was entertaining. It was sadder than I expected it to be, but still a great movie. I will definitely be adding it to my collection.

Other than seeing UP and spending some time with (some) family, the weekend was pretty stressful. Lots of driving and getting reprimanded/yelled at for my own personal views that I didn't impose on ANYONE. I mean, the election is OVER, and we already have a new president....does it really matter NOW who voted for him or aginst him? And do your political views make you "family" or "not family"? I don't think so....although to hear some of the conversations this weekend, you would have thought I was evil incarnate (or at least that's how I felt).....I mean, I totally think people are entitled to their own opinions, but that doesn't mean they can persecute me for my own thoughts/ideas/decisions!!!
All in all, I can't say it was one of the better weekends, but it was nice to spend some time away from work and hang out with Buddy.

Maybe next time we spend time with family, I'll just wear a shirt that says "I voted for him...if it bothers you, then don't talk to me!"
