As I drove home from my sunny work location, I realized there was a bit of weather ahead. That's right, drove right smack dab into thunderstorms going home yesterday. Even though they were the ones of the pop up variety, they were just the precursor of what was to come for my weekend. It seems that Arlene's coming to "rain on my parade" today. In other words, she's spoiling my weekend drive-in plans. Casey and I were planning to see Mr. & Mrs. Smith backed with a showing of yes, you probably already know this, Star Wars: Episode III. But for just $5 you can't hardly lose! I consider it like getting to see Star Wars for free....besides, I just like it PERIOD!! Anyway since we are in Arlene's direct path, we have been getting rain since I woke up this morning. By this afternoon, we are supposed to be getting downpours. Just not very conducive to drive-in movie watching. Casey and I figured that this might happen, so we made back up plans just in case. I think we'll probably go to our little local theatre, The Capri Twin Theatre (which by the way, is owned by the same people that own the drive-in) to see Madagascar. I think that I'll probably get my "Sith" fix on Sunday. My mother wants to see it too. You see, the Star Wars films are like a family tradition with us. Until my father passed away, my entire family watched them together. We've tried to carry on that tradition, so now it's mine and Casey's turn to go see it with Mom. My brother will probably come back with us too. So, we've decided that Sunday is the day. Casey had nixed the fried chicken idea last night and decided to go with it tonight instead. So, I'm looking forward to a nice home cooked meal tonight and a movie. He's made up a fresh fruit salad to go with it that I'm looking forward to as well.
Because of the rain, my walking plans with my friend, Elaine, had to be postponed as well. We were hoping for tonight, but it looks like all walks are off until at least Monday. Bear had a huge case of let-down last night. I thought it had stopped raining, so I got Bear all leashed up and ready for his walk. As I headed down the back steps, I realized that it was STILL raining too hard for our walk. So, I took him out in the back yard to do his usual. He was quite disappointed. He just kept standing there waiting for the walk to happen. I felt so bad for him. Maybe it will stop just long enough for us to get a quick walk in, but I doubt it. Anyway, the lack of walks and the short visits into the yard have made the animals very restless. They've been underfoot a whole lot. Bear and Fergie have been playing non-stop just get all of that pent up energy out. It's a wonder that I don't have more broken stuff the way they are playing. Casey will probably be at his wits end by the end of the day. He's off today, so he'll get to witness the play fest all day.
I'm doing my normal work with this coming week. Monday, I'll be at the kennel and Tuesday will find me back at work. I can't wait to see how much Maggie May (Angel) has accomplished this past week. She was doing so well last week. I'm also curious to find out if her pending adoption is still in the works. I hope for nothing but the best for her. She's had such a terrible life, that she deserves happiness and health.
Today is just the usual. I've got some regular work to finish up. Then, I need to work on a project for Kindred Spirits. I'm meeting my friend, Melissa, for lunch today. We are trying to squeeze in as many lunches as possible right now. She is moving back to her hometown at the end of this month, so we are making the most of our time. She's one of my closest friends, and I'll miss her so much!! I sure am glad that modern communication makes it so easy to stay in touch. It seems that I have my day rather cut out for me. Guess I'd better get cracking. I hope that everyone has a great weekend!! And now, just because I like it so much, and I just want to there's this:
