It Took 3 Months!

It took 3 months to finally get to see Star Wars. Between Jim's schedule, my schedule and having a toddler and non-existant babysitters, we have not been able to actually get to a movie theatre to see the movie that the rest of the world has probably seen 3 times. Anyway, today was the day. Jim was off, I was off. He was supposed to have surgery today, but the previous post explains why that didn't happen. So we sent Jack off to daycare and thought what a wonderful day for a DATE DAY! And what a wonderful day to go see Star Wars.

Since it has been so long since it opened, the movie was playing at the "cheap" theatre where the matinee price is $2.75. Even better. So we go in, get our popcorn, diet coke and all is good. There is hardly anybody in the theatre. Even Better.

We are watching the movie and really enjoying it. It comes down to the end. Anakin is now Darth Vader, he is burning alive (totally cool effect by the way). They switch to Padame having the babies and BAM the lights come on and the stupid slides start showing on the screen! What the _____(you can fill in the blank)! We sit there for a few minutes and nothing is happening. Jim goes out to check it out and then some teenage manager guy comes in and says to us that the projector broke and can't fix it! We waited 3 months! 3 Months to miss the ending! Yeah we are so running to get the dvd when it comes out. No Fair just no fair.

But other than missing the whole ending to Star Wars, we had a good day. We went to the restaurant we went to on our first date for lunch. Yummy Italian. Then went and looked at some shrubs and plants for the backyard. And decided that they are expensive stuff. We went to Toys R Us and checked out the swing sets and think we settled on one that is cheaper than the one online I mentioned earlier. But we'll probably buy it in a month or so when we get other expenses out of the way. It was a good day to get away from the kids and just spend time together. Something we don't do often enough unfortunately.

We got home and all the sod was laid in the backyard. Pictures will be coming soon!
