In case y'all were wondering
Just in case y'all were wondering: strawberry crepes are yummy.
Also in case y'all were wondering: I got my reservation confirmation letter from the Wilds today. Woohoo!
Also in case y'all were wondering: it's still raining. [Sidenote: I keep typing "raining" as "raiing." I also just typed "sidenote" as "sidenight." I need help.]
Also in case y'all were wondering: I had a most delightful afternoon. Bethany and I went out to lunch at Panera's (driving by their new house on the way over--it's really nice!), where I tried some of their black bean soup. I can recommend it; it was very tasty! Then we went to Starbuck's to get some of the ice cream samples that were advertised today, but they were only offering them between 3 and 5 pm and it was only like 2. So I got one of the famous Caramel Machiattos--I couldn't leave Starbucks without buying something, now could I?--which was just as good as everybody says it is. We then drove over to her house to watch An Ideal Husband. That was the cutest movie; I loved it! I can't wholeheartedly recommend it because of some content issues, but if you can handle a few "ahem" scenes, it's a great way to spend an hour and a half.
Also in case y'all were wondering: here are my favorite quotes from An Ideal Husband.
Lord Arthur Goring: To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.
Lord Arthur Goring: I love talking about nothing, Father. It's the only thing I know anything about.
Lord Arthur Goring: I'm sorry, Father, but the truth is, this is not my day for talking seriously.
Lord Caversham: Well, what do you mean, sir?
Lord Arthur Goring: I mean that I only talk seriously on the first Tuesday of every month. Between noon and three.
Sir Robert Chiltern: Do you know, Arthur, I sometimes wish I were you.
Lord Arthur Goring: Do you know, Robert, sometimes I wish you were too. Except that you would probably make something useful out of my life, and that would never do.
Mabel: Lord Goring, I gather you're to be congratulated.
Lord Arthur Goring: Well, there's nothing I like more than to be congratulated, though invariably I find the pleasure immeasurably increased when I know what for.
Lord Caversham: What are you doing here, sir? Wasting your time, as usual?
Lord Arthur Goring: My dear father, when a man pays a visit, it is for the purpose of wasting other people's time and not one's own.
Lord Arthur Goring: Father, there's someone there I'd like you to talk with.
Lord Caversham: What about?
Lord Arthur Goring: About me, sir.
Lord Caversham: Not a subject on which much eloquence is possible.
Lord Arthur Goring: My dear father, if we men married the women we deserved... we should have a very bad time of it.
Lord Arthur Goring: All I know, Gertrude, is that it takes great courage to see the world in all its tainted glory, and still to love it.
Lord Arthur Goring: My father told me to go to bed an hour ago. I don't see why I shouldn't give you the same advice. I always pass on good advice. It is the only thing to do with it.
Gertrude: Lord Goring, you are talking quite seriously.
Lord Arthur Goring: You must excuse me, Lady Chiltern. It won't occur again, if I can help it.
Gertrude: But I like you to be serious.
Mabel: Dear Gertrude, don't say such a dreadful thing to Lord Goring. Good afternoon, Lord Goring. Pray be as trivial as you can.
Gertrude: Robert is a great champion for the higher education of women, and I am afraid, so am I.
Laura: The higher education of men is what I should like to see. They need it so sadly.
Lady Markby: They do, dear. But I don't think man has capacity for development. He has got as far as he can, and that is not far, is it?
