Day three on the diet and a movie reward

Keep thinking Flat, Flat, Flat. It has been a tough day three on this diet, but we made it. The meals left much missing. HW2 says that she had better lose more weight tomorrow, or she may go off the reservation. Actually, what she said could not be printed here in a family publication. She shopped for more diet food that we needed, and I finished up five smaller pieces of stained glass. Then after lunch we went back to see Ed and Sandy at their ranch to talk further and get final approval for their glass window.

On the way back home we stopped at a Dollar Store to see if we could find some unscented red candles, and there were three Crossfires in their small parking lot. The manager of the store drives one, too. One driver, named Skip, we had met previously at Walmart, and he visited and thought that three Crossfires in one lot was great. He had entered his car in a car show last weekend and won in his category and even got a trophy. They did not have the red candles.

After dinner we decided to reward ourselves with a visit to the movies to watch the latest James Bond flick, "Quantum of Solace." It is a non-stop action thriller and would make Ian Flemming proud, although his stories were never this action filled. Daniel Craig is a very fit actor and never seems to stop. The ladies in the film are very fit and attractive too, of course. I parked the car, and HW2 got our tickets. While parking, another Crossfire parked one car away. So, I guess that is four of these cars in one day. The other driver and I visited all the way into the theater, but he went on to another movie. He had already seen the Bond flick. The theater lobby was crowded, maybe because so many kids were going to see "Twilight." I think that in depression times, more people go to the movies as an escape. We certainly enjoyed our movie and it was an action packed thriller. If you like action films, this is a delightful escape. Enjoy!
