What's up, LJ???
Livejournal was really screwy for about a week, and I was not able to log on. What's with that, LJ? Ah, well.
Went to Tahoe on Friday. I usually go to Sand Harbor, but we arrived too late and there was no parking available. We drove on and found an excellent new (to us) spot. It was about 10-15 minutes past Sand Harbor, which is a bit further than I'd have like to drive (well, for Lara to drive, as I was sitting in the back with an adorable baby who unfortunately gets carsick...), but there were very few people there, the view was gorgeous (this is a given almost anywhere along the lake, though), and there was plenty of room to bbq, so it ended up being worth the extra drive. Not surprisingly, the water was just above freezing, as per usual, but we still swam/waded. This is the first time that Wintress enjoyed the water at Tahoe. Even when we decided to dry off on our towels, she kept pointing, saying, "Water!!!" in the hopes that I would take her back. I eventually gave in, but only after Cassie decided we were all wasting precious water time if we didn't hit the water again. :)
Saw a couple of movies today: Captain America and Crazy, Stupid Love. The former was awesome. Not quite on par with Ironman, but almost. It had a teaser trailer for next summer's Avenger's flick --> Can't wait; looks awesome!!! CSL was... okay. It was what you'd expect of it.
Later this week, I'll be watching Friends With Benefits (I know, I know, but Justin Timberlake is just too pretty to pass up...), Cowboys and Aliens (who could resist that?!), and for this weekend, Rise of the Planet of the Apes. It's a bit of a movie marathon week, but my parents are visiting, so I'm fully taking advantage of the chance to go to the cinema without guilt of having a small movie-goer by my side who likes to chat away, regardless of the circumstances. We usually go to the drive-in, where that chatting isn't a problem, but this week, Wintress will be playing with Grandma and Papa while I'm out.
Speaking of the drive-in, though, one time Cassie and I were there, chatting away throughout the movie, as usual, and the guy in the car next to us shouted, "Are you ever going to shut up?!" Um, hello! He was chatting with the girl in his car, too. Maybe not as much as we were, but it's not like they were silent. What's the point of going to the drive-in, if not to take advantage of the alternative setting of the movie? (Okay, some people might go to have a little "private" time with each other, unless that's just a cliche...) We didn't stop talking. I mean, he had the option of closing his window, right? Sheesh.
