Iron Man 2

We went to see IM2 last night.
I was surprised at how much I enjoyed the first one -- and then insisted that we see the new one.
The first one was the best for me.
The sequel was good.
It was action filled.
But it didn't hold me in awe like the first one did.

Must admit though --- I was CRACKING up about the "senator from PA" .DAMN, he had an amazing resemblance to Arlen Spector...... ummm, of PA.

Saturday

I caught the train in to Philly to work -- so far behind on MY work since I fired the man.
Colleen wanted to go so that she could "explore".
Nice ride in.
She went off to Trader Joe's and then to Barnes and Noble. I worked.
She came back -- with my Omega Trail Mix and her Pralined Pecans.
A trip by B & N brought my copy of "The Art of Bead Embroidery".
It isn't that I need the technique -- stitches. But I need the inspiration for placement -- of thinking FIRST instead of flinging things on.
Not that I do not love freeform (in fact, I am working on the BFAC project for next year - a freeform bracelet) .
But for embroidery there is a place for thinking things out first.
And the book is already inspiring me.
Home and we just hung out. Watched "Now Voyager" -- god ,that IS my movie.
After it was over, Colleen walked the dogs and went to bed.
I kept working on my bracelet and flipped it over to "Hello Dolly".
Not sure why I torture myself with that movie.
Brings back way too many unpleasant memories of the summer/fall of 1971 and then into 1972. Watching that movie is like picking a scab open and probing until it bleeds.
I bled tonight.
Next time maybe I can walk away from it.
Stopped, came and washed the dishes, threw a load of His stuff in the washer.
Now I will putz around a bit.
Still have to make the bed. Ahhh, there is NOTHING like fresh clean sheets.
And I'll spray my Eucalypus spray on the bed before I sink in.
