So today was my wedding anniversary. 9 years. Craig and I took it easy this year, and with his parents still here to watch the kids, just went out to dinner and a movie. A grown-up movie. With drinks at dinner. Woo hoo!
We saw Iron Man, which was as good as I'd hoped. Robert Downey Jr. is still as shagworthy as ever. But what amused me most had nothing to do with Iron Man. No, Sex and the City was playing on 3 screens at our theater. When we bought our tickets at 5, all tickets for the rest of the night for Sex were sold out already. AND I have never in my entire life seen so many 30/40something women in clusters, dressed to the nines - like they should be at a club and not the local theater - chattering and queueing to see a movie. Seriously. I get that it was a popular show. I saw a few episodes and certainly enjoyed what I saw. But this was enough to put any scifi convention to shame. And you know what gets my goat? Most of those women would likely mock or turn their nose up at scifi con goers. But they're doing the exact same thing!
Anyway. Other than that, it was a most excellent evening. Peach margaritas are wonderful. So is Cold Stone. And the hot tub is waiting, so I shall bid you all adieu...
