weekend no. 062610

Well, by the grace of God, the Laurel Denise household did not lose power this weekend after the huge storm Charlottesville had on Thursday. What. A. Storm. So fast! So windy! So scary and eerie to be driving around town right afterward in an attempt to make it home! With Cute Husband away, I was able to have a bit of a sleepover weekend giving one of my favorite people, Marcy, a place to stay with air conditioning and electricity. This was such a treat! I don't love staying in "the room" all alone...too big and open. It was nice to have some company. I finally got myself a library card on Saturday (task accomplished!), checked out the new Bittersweet on the downtown mall, went to the farmer's market, read some of my current book (I'm suffering through it, friends...here's to hoping it gets better) and spent a lot of time with visiting family. I tried to fit the photo in of my entire, huge Italian family (plus the non-Italian, but otherwise wonderful additions - haha), but the group was too big and wouldn't fit into the frame. Ah well. Cute Husband and I found ourselves in a theater late last night, ready and excited to watch Toy Story 3. Y'all...seriously...that clown! That scary killer baby doll! In 3D! I've never been so freaked out in my life. I mean, it was warm and fuzzy in the end (seriously loving that little girl's tu-tu outfit with her rain boots and band-aid at the end - is there anything cuter in the world?), but this was so not a kid's movie. Like, at all. Or maybe I'm just a wuss. Let's be honest, there's no "maybe" about that...more fact than maybe.
