So I get to go see Cars today, on the first day it's in theaters.

Course, I also get to take three of my nieces with me. I haven't decided if this will be good or bad. Hopefully it will be good.

Bad. ;D Just kidding....

As for me, I *finally* picked up the copies of my book, SECONDS. They look freakin' super! Whoooohooo! Now I get to mail them off. Hey, SE, you never gave me your new address. I can just send it when you're all moved. No sense sending one other thing you have to lug to your new place. :P

Anyway, yay! I've even sold four copies. Sweeet.

I know it's kind of backwards to be happy about this, but I woke up today to a gentle rain and thunder storms. It cleared up and was sunny this afternoon for a while, but now it's raining again and we're getting a great show of lighting and thunder. So I'm sitting here with all the lights off in my room watching the storm and (finally) getting around to installing Open Office.

So, I am going with a friend to watch E.T. at an outdoor theater at an actual country club. Huh, me, at a country club?! Kinda weird. But at least I'll be doing something suitably nerdy with my Friday night. :)

Edit: Oh, and I'm also debating whether I want to go see a special midnight showing of Serenity here in Boston in honor of Joss's b-day. Sponsored by the New England Brown Coats, no less. Maybe I can round up some people...

Speaking of suitably nerdy, my friend and I are going to finish up season 7 of Buffy tonight. We didn't even know it was Joss Whedon's birthday, either.

I survived my first scout camp as a scoutmaster ;D. Also, all of my scouts survived too. They even have all of their fingers and toes (thanks to superglue).

Someone else bought Cheerios by mistake and so not only did I get to eat them, I got the free song from iTunes on the back of the box.  Better than a plastic toy if you ask me.

Shrain was in Utah this weekend, and I got to meet her for ice cream. Here's proof! It was fun. We had some laughs, she came to see my house, and she met the demon spawn. Except for the youngest, who was napping at the time.

I've finally developed several rolls of film that have been hanging around at the bottom of my purse for about six months. Therefore, there are new pictures of old events up at my gallery (norroway.thelemur.net), including pictures of the kitten I got back in March who I named Tildrum.

There are lots and LOTS of kitty pictures in that album, by the way. Sorry for kitty overload, if you get annoyed, but it's your own fault if you click.

Also, I'll be posting pics from LTUE 2006 geekfest night soon. Perhaps not tonight. I walked over seven miles today all told (18,253 steps, to be precise, according to my pedometer) due to 4th of July/Taste of Chicago activities, and I'm about ready to drop. And I have to drive home to Galva in the morning in time for the 4th parade there--I want to check out the high school band and see if they've improved with the new band director. We'll see!

Something that could have been very grumpy got turned into a happy thing.

My tire was looking pretty flat on Monday. After work, I went to put air in it--and noticed there was a nail in the tire. Dang! I don't even know how to change a tire.

Luckily, my brother and I had planned to do lunch on the 4th, so he came over and changed the tire for me the next day. He also showed me how to do it (not that it'll mean I can. I tried to unscrew the lugnuts--they wouldn't budge for my puny arms. So I'm still going to need a strong guy to help me). Then he recommended a place to get the tire fixed. I went there today. I was anxious that by driving on the flat I had ruined the tire. Money is tight for the next couple of weeks, as I had to take time off of work for health reasons, and I was sad that I'd even have to pay for the patch, let alone a new tire.

But the tire was fine. And they didn't charge me a thing! I think it's because we'd bought my tires at the same type of car place. Or perhaps because I'm a hot sexy thing, and they got all chivalrous.

Either way, I was really happy.  ;D
