We had a very busy week.
We decided to goof off today.
We started with a movie (which is one of my favorite ways to goof off)-- today it was Bill's choice:
I didn't mind.... really. Angelina Jolie is a great actress and we like her in different movies for different reasons. (My favorite is "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" with Brad Pitt.) So we got comfortable in our theater seats and got ready to watch "Salt", a spy thriller:
As the movie trailers were playing, Bill reached into his pocket and pulled out movie snacks. He has been known to sneak in chocolate bars or M & Ms for me -- just because. So he nudged me and told me to reach out my hand. In the darkness, he whispered that I should try it. I tilted my hand, opened my mouth and found that I was experiencing a blast from the past..... Pop Rocks! I choked down my giggles and then we took turns pouring Pop Rocks into our mouth and seeing who could "pop" the loudest (thank goodness it was a matinee and there was hardly anyone there!). What can I say? He is unpredictable like that.
After the movie (I give it a "5"... it had all of the usual elements of a thriller, but her character should have died about 29 times), we went out to lunch. He teased me about having to feed me before I turned into the Sherri Monster (our joke). I watched Bill play craps at the casino (remember, it was HIS day) and WOO HOO! he won some more $$$ for our vacation fund. And then we went grocery shopping. As we neared the checkout, I impulsively added a 6-pack of Mike's Hard Lemonades to the cart. Bill said, "We better get those chilled so you can get toasted..." And I started to laugh, because he is so witty.
The bottom line is that no matter what we do or where we are.... he always makes me smile.
Just because.
I love him for that. :)
