I'm afraid Norelle contracted dolphinitis at the zoo because she has been running a temp and feeling crappy all weekend. Obviously, this put a huge kink in our plans to go out clubbing and stagger home naked.
Instead, my friend Kristi came over for coffee and we got to catch up. Kristi and I were best friends since the 3rd grade and about the only cool people who lived in the East End hood of Winona so needless to say, we had to represent. In sadder news, Jake unexpectedly lost a good friend and mentor, Margaret Adams, this week. They are still not sure how or why she died so suddenly. Jake, along with some work colleagues, went to spend time with Margaret's daughter, Marci, and Margaret's partner, Pat, on Saturday
Last night we had out first ever Family Movie Night!! Nori is now big enough to cuddle on the couch and watch a movie except she didn't really seem to get American Pie. No, we watched Finding Nemo which is far more depressing and anxiety-provoking than An American Tale ever was (poor Fifel, I still can not watch that show!).
Spoiler alert: In Finding Nemo, Marlin the daddy fish, loses his wife and 400 egg babies to a barracuda, leaving him with only Nemo. Devastating! Then, Nemo disobeys him and gets kidnapped. Nightmare! Marlin then has to avoid getting eaten by sharks in rehab and other horrible sea creates all while Nemo is stuck in a dentist's aquarium awaiting certain death at the hands of Darla. Depressing! We have not finished the movie yet so I sure hope things turn around! The surfer, hippy sea turtles are about the only happy note in the whole movie. This is for kids?
