Dos- cheap Mexican beer

I am in town for Larson Manufacturing's Anniversary- like it's 50th or something not quite sure which it is- anyway older than I am. I got done with work at 4 today- so I packed up and headed out to Brookings to enjoy the night with my niece and my parents. It was fun- Taylor had a blast at the Tonic Solfa concert. She was dancing and conga-ing her little seven year-old heart out. The fireworks were nice too.
I plan on going home to SF tomorrow afternoon- but it was nice coming up for a little bit on Friday.

I went to Harry Potter and it was excellent- probably the best movie so far. It was a complicated storyline but the director captured it perfectly. I also went to Kill Bill Vl.2 on Wednesday at the cheap theater. It gave me closure on the story line at least- and though I hate to admit it- I liked both of the Kill Bills. I do plan on going to 13 Going on 30 on Sunday- to the earliest matinee- I'll be the slightly disheveled woman with a rose in her lapel. Or not....

This night watching Tonic Solfa and the fireworks reminded me of my childhood- mainly because I remember doing the same thing about 15 years ago- shaking it to the crazy music and then laying in the grass and watching fireworks. I'm also feeling emotional because Taylor is getting so old- and before I know it she will be a teenager! Yikes!

News of a second beheading in the middle east is sickening- but then again all the news of the middle east is sickening. But I am tired and old- and ready for bed at 11:45- so I am going to go...
