Have you ever said that? I love to ask questions here to see if I get answers.....normally it works! Last night, early, I decided to rest my eyes, as I told Kathy B. my eyes were more tired than my body was for some reason on Friday. I took a little rest during the storm and woke up just before 11:00 pm, I think. Ooops!

Oh, I know I was ruined for the rest of the night, at least most of it so I got back on the computer and had a late night visit with Kathy B. after she got home from the movies. We had been invited to a "Dinner and Movie" event with Kelly, Kathy's daughter, but since I had gone to the movies Friday afternoon, opted to pass. I am glad I did because we had the most tremendous thunderstorm roll through here complete with street flooding, power outages, and barking dogs! On the bright side of that, no apparent leaks in my condo! Whether this is so for the rest of them I will find out later today but as for mine, all clear!

After the funeral procession event yesterday I came back here for a bit, posted my blog and did some church work before heading to meet Olivia and my neighbor ladies at the Carmike Theater. Julia had posted on Facebook that her mom was gone so I asked her if she needed lunch or anything. What she did need was a sweet tea from McDonald's so I swung by to get one for her and we did a quick hand off outside the shop. Olivia was already in the theater when I arrived so I got my ticket and stood in line to get my soda. The other ladies came in, too, and they introduced themselves to Olivia. I heard her telling them that I like Diet Coke and I had to turn and laugh because how well they know my love of the drink!

Once more I enjoyed the movie and its previews, while Maureen was impatient about the movie not starting. For some reason, I do not mind, unless the upcoming shows are all the kids' style movies with a whole lot of smash 'em up themes. Which reminds me of what Kathy said last night---she was not all that taken with the movie they saw, "The Time Traveler's Wife" although it is highly touted as being a great love story. She found the characters to lack depth, pretty to look at, but little development in their relationship. The movie would most likely have been too long, had to put it in a nutshell for the screen appeal. Chances are I will still go see it, but last night was out for me!

After seeing "Julie and Julia" yet again yesterday, I felt like cooking! So, since I could not sleep, I as noiselessly as possible, made sloppy joes at 2:30 in the morning! Maureen, nearly 70 years young remarked after the movie: "I am going to go home and start smoking, drinking, and eating butter again!" Julia Child lived to ripe old age (94 I think....) after years of doing the above, so Maureen figures, "Why not??"

My laptop is having a problem, something which requires the steady hand of Justin as well as the disk for loading Microsoft Office, I believe, as the opening page tells me something is corrupted. Rats! I sure did not need that! I cannot find my disc of Office and thought perhaps Justin had it to load on his. He called me this a.m. to tell me he does not have it, so that means I might have to look around here some more. A good project for when it rains later, looking for software rather than late afternoon napping is the better way to go!
