I am so exhausted, can hardly stay focused enough to write this *yawn* and it’s only 8pm! I can’t go to bed yet.
Yesterday I started raking the leaves, quickly realizing that it’d be quite a chore. It’s great living with lots of trees, but man, when the fall comes, you can’t even see our driveway or lawn! Raking, raking, raking. I came in after a while and Michael suggested getting one of those leaf vacuum things. Turns out they aren’t terribly expensive, so we looked at some reviews (bad reviews for all, what do people expect from a lightweight leaf vacuum?). We ended up going to the Home Depot and picking up the Black & Decker Leaf Hog. By the time we got home from the Home Depot it was time to start getting ready to go to dinner and a movie with mct and Nita.
We met at mct and Nita’s place, and got to play with their new kittens for a while, yay kittens! We were going to have dinner at the Cheesecake Factory, but when we got there around 7:30 the wait for a seat was 2 hours. 2 hours! We ended up eating at Bennigans, then going to the theater for the 9:20 showing of The Incredibles. We met b2s and Baerana there, and all 6 of us got into the last 6 seats together in the front row of the sold out showing.
What a great movie! You should all go see it if you haven’t already. Pixar is wonderful %) And I got to see the Episode 3 trailer on the big screen (had only seen it as .avi previously).
We didn’t get out of the theater until after 11, it was a little after 1 when we got home, was in bed by 1:30.
I woke up at 6:30 because Caligula was sitting on my stomach. I got up and fed him, and I couldn’t go to sleep after that, so I figured I’d stay up. I ended up spending some time this morning putting together and update page about our house: here. Now it’s not the real estate listing photos! I put this together primarily to send to my Aunt, who hadn’t seen any of my house pictures yet.
Spent some time today cleaning, then went outside to clean up leaves. The leaf vacuum is a neat thing, we might try to find the attachment so it empties into a trash barrel instead of it’s small bag, but it’s light enough for me to use for a while, and does it’s job well %)
Now I am tired and Michael should be home with cookies soon, yay!
