Keep Your Fingers Crossed...

It has come to my attention that I might--MIGHT--just get to go to a movie tonight that 1) I want to see, 2) my wife wants to see, 3) AND WILL BE SEEN WITHOUT ACCOMPANYING LOAD OF CHILDREN! Depending on if we can get the in-laws to ride herd on the younguns, we might be going to see Chicago, which has received rave reviews, (although I gotta say the official Miramax site looks as cheaply done as Possumblog--this fansite is way better, despite the five million annoying popups).

For those who have been living under a rock, Chicago is the story of Catherine Zeta-Jones, who is a brunette,and Renee Zellweger, who is a blonde. They sing and wear lots of sheer stuff. In Chicago.

CONTINGENCY PLAN--If we don't get to go, there will be all sorts of other fun, such as cleaning out the lint trap, picking up all the toys out of the den floor, vacuuming the den floor, emptying all the trash cans, unloading and reloading the dishwasher, putting the covers back on the patio grilles (the covers blew off last night), picking up all the toys out of the kids' bedrooms, hiding out in the bathroom with a car magazine to keep from doing anything else, and that kind of stuff.

Again, please keep your fingers crossed. Please.

UPDATE!! 3:38 p.m.

::sigh:: Oh, well, uncross 'em, folks.

On the bright side, we do have some lovely lint.

UPDATE!! 4:30 p.m.

HOORAY!! Grandpa comes through! Despite decidedly chilly reception of original idea by tired and overburdened Grandma, Grandpa acts with unilateral recklessness and asks not only for children to come over, but also requests stockpile of CLOTHING in order for them to SPEND THE NIGHT!!!

Now I must completely reorganize my thoughts and plan for ANOTHER possible outcome...hehehehe.

Pardon me now as I go and groom my fur. I'll see you all Monday!
