Junie's Incrediroll Party!

The party itself was held at Incred-Roll, and we essentially had the place to ourselves from noon to two - it was like we rented the whole dang rink! Afterwards they surprisingly let the kids to skate free until 6 pm, allowing me time to return after taking Smiley to camp. We only lasted until 3:30 or 4, by which time us grown-ups were pooped! (pt 1 of 2)

I just rewatched Titanic and . . .

20 years and probably twenty viewings and I just started bawling when Rose's spirit returned to Jack. James Cameron, job well done sir.

Our Birthday Gifts to Junie

I warned you there'd be a lot to post about LK's birthday. Here's the first bit: her opening her gifts from us before the party.

International Cat Day

Happy international cat day!! 😻

Deadly Women

Lisa and I are watchin the true crime show Deadly Women. The woman in the story kills her lover and then, to cover it up, smashes a window and says an intruder did it.

She broke the window from inside the apartment.

What a moron. That's Encyclopedia Brown level criminal sh*t.

Smiley Goes to Camp

There is much to post about Junie's birthday. But before we get to that, I had to leave the party midway through to take Smiley up to camp. I'll miss the only other male in this estrogen factory, but he'll have a blast!

Michael Phelps

Today the great Michael Phelps won his 19th gold medal and 23rd Olympics medal overall as the U.S. won the 4x100 relay. Congrats!

Happy Birthday!

Happy 9th birthday to my baby doll angelcakes honey bunches of oats. Before she went to bed she made sure to hold my hand one last time as an eight year old, and give me one last hug, one last kiss, one last raspberry, and one last Eskimo kiss from the last of my eight year old kids. Happy Birthday Junie!

Suicide Squad

I saw this today with Yaya and LuLu.

My verdict? It was very enjoyable and well worth the ticket price. Harley and Deadshot were superb. It easily passed BVS and yes, even the disappointing Civil War. IMO, the critical lashing it's taken is a combination of Marvel being in corporate marriage with multiple media outlets, and a rash of Marvel fanboys typing out a bad review online sight unseen.
