caffeinatedNow Playing: "Hellboy : Sword of Storms" - DVD rental
Beloved Hubby and I got to go out for a bit tonight - we had a wonderful dinner, and did some window shopping. Our local Big Lots has the Cinderella castle (Barbie sized) marked down to $25., and I was tempted, but ultimately didn't get it. We're still pretty broke, and I already have a big Barbie castle from a yard sale.
Now that the weather's getting nice, it's about time to start work on painting it. It's a great structure - even if they did cheap out on maybe .00002 of a penny's worth of plastic so it doesn't stay folded closed for more than three seconds - but the overwhelming pink is just too much for me. Once I invest some time and energy in painting it, I'll play with it a lot more.
I also have to fix the rotating tower. Hey, something's always gonna be missing when you pay $5. for a toy that was $125. a year before. Mattel does sell a replacement, but it's four times what I paid for the whole thing ! So I'll make something, maybe from foamcore or a Pringles potato chip can.
About the only thing we 'bought' besides dinner is a couple of movie rentals. Tried out the RedBox kiosk, you may have seen 'em at McD's or grocery stores where you live. It was kind of fun, and not at all difficult to use. And it's great to get new movies for just a buck a day ! We got the new animated Hellboy movie, and I went ahead and rented Cinderella 3, just for fun. Hubby just started one, so I'm gonna make this kinda short.
We're all done with the garage, but I never had the time - or interest, I was darn lazy today ! - to clean out the car. Sunday's usually pretty boring, so I'll probably catch up then. Spring break's nearly over, and I'm really looking forward to getting back to our normal schedule.
Truth be told, I think Dearest Son feels the same way !
