I came home last night with the idea that I’d be breaking down about 3 dozen cardboard boxes, taking out an unearthly amount of trash, and then getting to the main task: cutting Flor carpet tiles and laying them down in the basement.
Instead, I came home to find that Maggie had done the garbage duties, and I took my 11-year-old to see Iron Man.
Rock ON.
This movie had a tremendously talented cast. I was SO psyched to see Robert Downey, Jr. on screen in a such big, big way. He was the perfect actor for this role, and he did a fantastic job. And, holy shit… Gwyneth Paltrow and Jeff Bridges backing up Robert Downey? That ROCKS.
It was a really good movie, probably the best “superhero” film I’ve seen.
I’ll start the carpet tonight.
Love to all. Even you, the woman in the full-body doily.

A “full body doily?” Not a pretty picture! I will be leaving soon to see Zac and will keep my fingers crossed on the business situation. DEEP BREATHS. Step back and check all perspectives. Oh…and behave!

Oooooh. Carpet tiles. Definitely on my list of things to do in my “tipi” when we get to that stage.
Lucky you to have Maggie to do the garbage duty for you - and lucky you to have a Movie Night out!
Life can be very very good, huh?

Please tell Maggie she is a bonza sheila, right now.

Just the preview thrills me - “I prefer the weapon you only have to fire…ONCE! It’s how Dad did it; it’s how America does it…. and it’s worked out pretty well so far.”
I can’t wait to see this movie.

Robert Downey Jr., talented actor, true survivor, and living proof that there is a second chance (or tenth).

I saw an interview with Robert Downey, JR on TV the other night. I almost passed out when he called the reporter “love”. It wasn’t creepy at all, and was kind of like hearing a Dad talk to his kid. Very affectionate.
I love that he can be Dad-like and bad a– at the same time. He is one of my favorite actors.
“Home for the Holidays” is at the top of my list.

Major jealousy here! I can’t wait to see it!
