Thanks to my boss, Susan and I had a date! My boss (and friend) Mary Jo offered to come over and spend tonight with the girls so that Susan and I could go see Spider-Man 3. We invited Mary Jo and her daughter to join us for supper at our house first. Then we left them at the mercy of our children.
The line to the ticket counter at Cinema Three was long and snaked out the entryway to the Prairie Hills Mall (where the theater is located). As the clock ticked closer to 7:00 P.M. (show time for Spider-Man 3), we were nowhere near the front of the line yet. Mercifully, most of the people in front of us left when the ticket counter announced that Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End had just sold out. We got into our theater late, but they were just beginning the previews, so we missed nothing.
Susan and I enjoyed the movie (more on that later here). We returned to a houseful of pretty ladies. They had had a fashion and dance show using the dress-up clothes and Suzanna's CD player. They had styled each other's hair and done one another's makeup and applied perfume and painted their fingernails and toenails. They had had popcorn and pop and watched the Disney channel. They were eager to show off their appearances and replicate their dances, and it got them all riled up again--just before we sent away our babysitting guests and tucked our own munchkins into bed!
