Yea!! I took my daughter to see the new "Confessions of a Shopaholic" movie today and was kind of anxious about it...to me movies mean big tubs of popcorn and a gallon of diet coke and maybe some Milk Duds. I packed some grapes and carrots and got a small diet coke. No problem at all. (it did smell really good though).

    I always feel like a criminal when I sneak stuff into the movies... Then I look at the prices they charge for popcorn-my healthy snacks don't feel so illegal then...:noway:

    The movie was very good...lot of cute clothes for me to dream about being skinny enough to fit into. Had some great funny scenes and some romantic ones as well.
