Wow, I’ve had an incredible birthday this year! First two wonderful, exciting covers. Second, two fun movies: Wolverine and Star Trek. Third, a monsterless night–they went to spend a night with Papa on the farm and had so much fun they didn’t want to come home. Dad estimates they caught nearly 50 perch, and one bass so large that it broke Middle Monster’s cane pole. They rode horses until they were exhausted (the horses, that is), had a bonfire, caught fireflies, and saw their distant cousins tonight.
But the icing on the cake for this birthday: dinner at Mythos. If you read Dear Sir, I’m Yours next month, you’ll see the restaurant mentioned. It’s a real place in Joplin MO and has incredible food. I was so stuffed that I could barely stay awake for the drive home.
Star Trek was fantastic. I’m such a goob that I bawled in the first five minutes. I cheered. I clapped. So much fun. Once, I even swayed in my seat and bumped shoulders with That Man. See, when we were kids, Sis and I would stumble and fall all about the house, pretending that we were in the middle of an Enterprise crash.
Wolverine was fun but not nearly as good as Star Trek. It left me feeling sad and dissatisfied.
We also watched There Will Be Blood last net via Netflix. That Man fell asleep. I wish I had. I hated the way it ended and was mad I wasted two hours of my life watching it.
All in all, this has been an incredible holiday weekend. My allergies are acting up so I’m taking Benedryl, and it’s really kicking my fanny. I can hardly stay awake. I’m miserably behind on MayNoWriMo, but I hope to get some words made tomorrow and Monday.
Hope you’re all having a terrific Memorial Day weekend!
