Current Mood : Bored and waiting...
Today was a real ball of boredom. Oh, it was busy enough, but I didn't get much done that I can really chat about, ya know ? I guess it's noteable that I didn't wait until the very last glass and plate had been dirty a week before doing dishes - I'm up to doing them two, maybe three times a week now ! - but dishes ain't that thrilling. They do take up a girl's time, though.
The usual worries are ongoing - Dearest Son, the kids across the street, money, bills. Usual junk. Turned off the air conditioning today, since it was nice outside, and while I was trying to help Beloved Hubby with a financial detail, something I really had to pay close attention to, a tiny little voice was describing how wonderful her dress was. Yup, it was K., who'd invited herself in by slipping past Dearest. He hustled her back to the yard after I told her all the kids were outside today, but while I was making a phonecall five minutes later - and was luckily on hold - she was back. I dutifully admired the dress, and told her I was very busy and couldn't talk or play right now. And Dearest scooted her back out again. (sigh) And here I was, worrying what the kids had told their parents about Saturday ! We haven't had a chance to talk to them ourselves, and let's face it, by Tuesday, that ship has sailed.
You'd think that, with dishes done and neighborhood kids home, I'd be busily sewing. Yet, even though DotD Clawdeen's 'new' pink kimono remains obi-less, I just couldn't push m'self in there. I'm sure I'll be more 'into' it by the time Thursday rolls around.
For now, though, Beloved's working late, and Tron: Legacy was surprisingly unsatisfying. Hard to believe a computer-based movie left me feeling so unresolved, but there it was. I kept thinking there was more, but those were definitely the end credits. Even reading the entry, message boards, and FAQ on IMDB.com didn't help much. Effects were top-notch, much better than the original one I saw a couple weeks back... but I preferred the old one. The update, for all its polish and technical prowess, simply didn't engage me that much. And when I was engaged, I kept thinking I'd somehow missed part of the story. Ah, well. Chalk it up to 2001 and 2010 syndrome - now there's a pair of confusing movies, singly or apart !
Anyway, that's about my day. Some housework, some play, a little entertainment. Hope your day wasn't so boring - unless you could use a boring day !
