The Search for Spiderman

I've finally got my plane ticket back to Utah all arranged. I leave on Sunday, August 7th, sometime in the evening (5ish, I think, I have to check my email for the exact itinerary). So I only have a little over a week left in Huntsville. Thank goodness I'm going back, though. Maybe I can start doing something productive with my life.

I watched Spiderman 2 tonight. This movie is really one of my favorites and Spiderman is really my favorite superhero. I think it has something to do with him being in love with a redhead.

Anyway, I really wanted to watch it the other day, so I opened the DVD case but it wasn't there! I looked and looked everywhere for it. Everywhere! I reorganized all the other DVD's we have, opening each case in case someone had stuck it in the wrong one. I asked the boys if they had seen it anywhere, I asked Mom and Dad if they knew where it was.

Josh was the last one to watch it, I finally figured out, so he could have put it anywhere in the house. I looked in the kitchen, in the laundry room, in the family room. I even looked in the car, thinking that maybe Josh had brought it on a trip to watch on the laptop. Nothing.

I looked in nearly every dang CD case in the house, hoping to come across it. I even cleaned the computer desk, just so I could find it. Well, the desk was a mess, too, so it was good that I cleaned it. I looked forever both yesterday and today, but I couldn't find it! Finally, thinking Spiderman would be lost forever, I just gave up. I collapsed onto the couch and grieved the loss of my precious superhero.

But just then, Mom saved the day! She found the DVD tucked away on a bookshelf in her bedroom. Spiderman was back! And I got to watch the movie! Thanks Mom! Or should I say Super-Mom?

CD's and DVD's are some of the few things I insist on keeping organized. Preferably in alphabetical order or grouped by genre. My desk may be an absolute disaster area, but at least I can find my movies.

I'm excited you're going back to school! Will you miss Josh's birthday?
Speaking of Spiderman... I got to marry Peter.

Mom to the rescue! Glad I could be of service! Granted, Spidy isn't a chick flick, but I will miss having you around to watch chick flicks with!
