IronMan

I decided to go ahead and see Ironman at the 2pm matinee Saturday.  I get off work at 12:30, so I stopped in to Bass shoe outlet and Dress Barn for a few  Ended up with a cute pantsuit that I'm not suppposed to be buying.

I know it's futile to complain, and maybe it's just bad form - but $4.00 for a large soda?  I stopped off at Walgreens on my way there for a couple of snacks that would fit in my purse to avoid some of the snackbar sticker shock.  I don't think it's anymore of a sin to sneak a snack in than it is to charge $5.00 for a popcorn. 

The movie was an awesome theater must see if you like action movies.  Robert Downey Jr. makes a terrific superhero, and I see a trilogy on the horizon - one that I actually look forward to.  Jeff Bridges played the bad guy - Terrance Howard an air force officer (I love that guy - why isn't he in more moves?).

 

Mother's Day talk

My mother and I were having a Mother's Day conversation on the phone - it turned to politics.  She mentioned how it looks like Obama will get the nomination.  My mom isn't thrilled with Obama - but I think she prefers him to the alternative.  We chat about it a little and when she gets tired of talking politics she says. "Well, at least he can't do too much damage since there's the senate and congress to create checks & balances"  Hehehehe  Yep, they sure kept things on the straight and narrow for the last eight years, they did :-)
