"Over The Hedge"

What a day!
Got up early (unusual!), had strange men in and out of the house all morning. When they left, there was a little bit if dust, so hubby (who took part of the day off to be here during the installation of the unit) took out the vacuum and vacuumed everything, even in the basement! Since the "vacuum serpent" (what our cat thinks it is!) was out, might as well do the cat's area (litter bits), and then the stairs carpet leading to the basement.

Then we replaced everything (that had been moved for the a/c installation) and purged some in the process. Decided to make our way to Reno (week day, mid afternoon = no crowd = happy hubby!) to get a piece of metal to which my spice rack would stick (magnetized) and some other thing to hold the ironing board and iron. Within 15 min. we had both things and on our way.

Decided, since it was a nice day, to go for an afternoon drink on a terrasse on the lake shore. Had a bite to eat, a few beers and took the long way home. On our way we stopped at the water place to get refills.

Got home, folded laundry (that had been hanged outside to dry this morning), put up the spice rack and the ironing rack then decided to see what was playing at the movies.

We barely made it for the 6:55 showing of "Over The Hedge" - we both wanted to see it, and it was well worth it! It was really funny. Hubby giggled and laughed the whole time. Hammy (the squirel) is hilarious! With or without kids (like us!) go see it, it's worth the price! On our way out, hubby said he'd like to have it on DVD...
Oh yeah, in November there's "Happy Feet" coming out and I really want to see that one! Look at the trailers, you'll see!

After the movie went to Bureau en Gros to get some cardboards for the garage sale, some stamps and a new track ball for hubby, and $100. later headed home.

What a day! Efficient, productive and relaxing - what more can I ask for!?
