3 days left (boo-hoo)

Know what time of my vacation it is? The time where it’s just like any other three day weekend. Ugh. That means we are getting waaaaay too close to going back to work. If only I could find a way to earn money without actually doing anything. I am soooo not looking forward to all the stress of answering tons of e-mail (I predict at least 50 messages directed to me personally) and getting the end of the month invoicing done in a two day time period. I’m stressing just thinking about it. Luckily I have three more days before having to live it.

Have I mentioned here that I have the best husband ever? I really feel for the ladies out there who write about their lazy husbands sitting around watching tv and drinking beer instead of helping around the house or with the kids. My husband does watch a lot of tv, and he also drinks, but only after he has worked his butt off. The last three days alone he remodeled our laundry room (pictures forthcoming as soon as he puts in the new molding), cleaned/organized the garage and added new shelving to both. He just washed my car and is now washing his truck, and he plans on waxing my car tomorrow. Did I have to ask him to do any of these things? No. And that’s the best part: I never have to nag him to do anything. My mom asks me what’s my secret. I don’t have one other than finding a man who loves me and does things for us because he cares. One who is worthy of being called a man. Those other guys? I’m sorry to say they have some growing up to do. And don’t get me wrong, we act like complete fools a lot of the time, which just goes to show you that you can be responsible and immature. It just requires a little balance.

MI:3

Sorry guys, I should have posted sooner for input; I didn’t even see your comments until now and we’re back from the theatre. We saw Mission Impossible III which ended up getting zero votes. Go figure. Originally I was interested in seeing Over The Hedge, but I have to tell you, I didn’t care much for Madagascar and was worried it would be a lot like it. Plus there were a bunch of kids going into that theatre. So it was down to X-Men 3 or MI:3, and since Joe wanted to see both and I’m not that big of an X-Men fan, well you can see what led to the decision. As much as I think Tom Cruise is a complete loon, he is a damn fine actor. Almost sexy in his roles even though normally I don’t find him attractive. The movie was good, lots of stuff blew up, and someone lost their shoes which would make Dane Cook laugh (who, by the way, was on Leno last night and looked quite fetching in his suit … and will also be on Jimmy Kimmel tonight).

We tried a new theatre called Charlestowne 18, run by a company called Classic Cinemas. They had a theatre near our old apartment but we only saw one movie there because they didn’t have stadium seating. Luckily this theatre is newer so this wasn’t an issue. They also offer free refills on any size popcorn and pop. The matinee price is only $5.50 a person which is the cheapest we’ve found in the area. The Loews nearby charges over $7 for matinees now which is why we stopped going to the movies weekly. The screens are a bit smaller than we’re used to but you don’t notice it once the movie starts. Everything was so nice, we’re thinking about going back on Sunday to see X-Men 3 because I know Joe would really like to see it.

For lunch we went to Pepe’s. I’ve always loved their beef tacos and they didn’t disappoint. They are seasoned perfectly and the corn tortillas are so soft! Yum yum yum. I highly recommend their tacos. I used to go there all the time when there was one five minutes away but it has been a few years since we’ve ate there. It’s like nostalgia week for food, isn’t it?

Pick my movie

I want to go to a matinee tomorrow. Since I don’t go often, I’m not on top of what’s out there or what is worth seeing. Of these choices, which movie would you recommend and why?

Mission Impossible III
Over The Hedge
X-Men 3

Strawberry-licious

Sometimes the simplest things can make you feel like a kid again. I haven’t had a McDonald’s strawberry sundae for close to 15 years but something possessed me today to get one. It still tastes just like I remember it: yummy! And at 280 calories, not a complete diet buster either. The best part? It was only $1. This could be the beginning of a very bad habit …
