Tired from my middle of the night hijinks, I slept in a long time. When I got up to pee at about 7 am, I threw more laundry in. Went back to bed and slept till about 11. I was working on laundry and tidying up the place a little when I decided to look up ant infestations, as my brother and his family are experiencing ANTAGEDDON, with massive swarms of ants all over their house.
I called my sister in law to tell her some of the remedies I found, and we chatted for a while. NMy brother and my uncle went to Owatonna to get the fridge and dining room set rejected by my spineless nephew. The dropped my mom off at my sister Kim's house and they went to get manicures and pedicures.
Jack invited me over for hamburgers and brats on the grill. I had to finish drying my colored clothes before I could go as I was completely out of shorts. Too hot to wear anything else. I told Jack that I would like to go with if he saw the movie Cowboys and Aliens. He kind of decided on the spot that we would see it this afternoon.
So, I ate with them. Then my sister in law gave my brother and nephew haircuts. And their goofy cat Milo, an orange tabby like Stewie and Peaches, loves to have his fur trimmed with the clippers. It is a hilarious thing to watch as he rolls his eyes back in his head, opens his mouth and lolls his head around like a total goober.
Today Kari gave him a kitty mohawk.
Cora showed me how she has organized her stuffed animals in the plastic drawer crates I gave her and her new pink bicycle. It's a mighty fine bicycle with streamers from the handle bars and a bell.
Then Jack, Caleb, and I went to Owatonna and watched Cowboys and Aliens. It sounds really stupid, but it was in fact a really enjoyable movie. Harrison Ford was great as the crusty old rancher whose son was a worthless piece of you know what. Daniel Craig was the outlaw who had escaped from the aliens with one of their weapons but no memory of anything. The aliens were belligerent, ugly bastards who were sucking gold out of the environment. Certainly not the type of alien you would want to bring home to meet your parents.
I found it very entertaining and enjoyable despite its far-fetched premis.
After that, we picked mom up at Kim's and came straight home.
Mom and I were sitting in the living room upstairs when she confessed to me a mad craving for ice cream, so we hopped in my car and headed for blooming where she got a chocolate malt, I got a delicious banana malt, and both of us got chicken strip baskets with onion rings instead of fries.
We ate when we got back to Ellendale then went down to the family room where we bemoaned the fact that there was nothing worth watching on TV. So, we watched Something to Talk About--one of mom's Julia Robert's movies. It's cute. Dennis Quaid is her cheating husband and Robert Duvall is her overbearing but loving father and Gena Rowland is her mom. Dennis Quaid is as cute as can be. Plus it had a pretty interesting story.
Once it ended I came into my bedroom with my cats which is where I am now, barely able to keep my eyes open.
My knees are really sore tonight. No idea why. Probably because the weatherhas been so hot and humid.
