I picked up the Edward and Bella issue for both of us. Of course the clerk had to ask if I realized I had two copies of the same magazine. 
I also thought the Deathly Hallows Part 2 trailer looked amazing! I think it'll be quite a ride and we'll be on the edge of our seats the entire movie, without a breather. Alan Rickman should knock it out of the park, and I'm going to cross fingers and toes that by some miracle....he might be recognized by the Academy with a Supporting Actor Oscar nomination. I've watched bits and pieces of the Royal Wedding during recaps and such, and Kate did look very beautiful. Her dress was gorgeous, and I liked that it wasn't too modern. I also loved seeing how happy Kate and William looked together. A coworker mentioned they had read that Kate was applying her own make-up for the ceremony (with a makeup artist nearby, I think), so that she could keep some small part of herself, on that very momentous day. If that's true.....how cool is that? If her day job of being a Duchess doesn't work out, she can do my make-up. 
I can't believe you have snow! What is the elevation where you live? My Mom definitely enjoyed WFE, and she was my “look-out” while I took the pictures, and even suggested taking ActionRob's picture at the concession stand. A couple of my Mom's friends saw the movie tonight, and although they weren't familiar with Rob before seeing the movie, they labeled him a “hunk”. Keep in mind these ladies are late 60's to early 70's in age. I'm hopeful my Mom will eventually read the book. She is a retired nurse and worked in a rehab hospital for fifteen years primarily with geriatric patients, and always established a great rapport with even some of her more difficult patients. I've told her how she would also enjoy reading the poignant and emotional scenes of older Jacob's time in the nursing home. The book and movie remind me to always consider that although I see my patients on a daily basis as the 75-year-old (on average) lady or gentleman whom I'm helping to increase their functional mobility and independence.....each of these people has a very important history and a story worth telling, and it may be an amazing story, indeed. 
We had some kick butt ribs and tilapia on the grill last night! Unfortunately, it is supposed to rain today, tomorrow, and Tuesday which will hamper the recovery/clean-up process. It may push the power restoration back a few more days. So, we really don't know yet how and when most of our schools are going to go back. Cullman schools may not go back at all the rest of the year. The governor hasn't mentioned anything about the pardon, but they have asked all schools not to go back until at least Wednesday so we don't overload the tenuous power supply. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. If you feel like you need to help, you can donate to the RED CROSS RELIEF FUND or UNITED WAY OF CENTRAL ALABAMA. Gotta go for now. Enjoy your Sunday!
