Mmmmm... Chocolate!

John and I went to see the new Charlie and the Chocolate Factory today and as weird as it was, I enjoyed it. The feeling of the movie is definitely Tim Burton-esque, which means Johnny Depp was the perfect person to play the Willy Wonka role. We originally only got some popcorn and a drink, but after seeing the chocolate river, I needed a chocolate fix! I went out and got a soda refill and some M & M's. YUM!

Not much else is going on. John and I may go down to the southern MD house after his doc appointment tomorrow. He has at least another week off due to the mono, so we might as well go down and put up the new mini blinds we bought the other week.

UPDATE : UPDATE : UPDATE
Hmmm... I started this blog Wednesday night and never got back to it. Getting old (and not having worked in 3 months) has my brain all frazzled. Just returned from a quick overnight trip to the beach house. John put up some mini blinds in our bedroom and we just hung out, reading and napping. I got half a dozen YUMMY crabs for dinner yesterday and ate 3 last night and 4 today. Now, you may be thinking, "3 plus 4 is not half a dozen!". It turns out they gave me an extra one! A yummy surprise when I discovered their miscount.

Of course, on the way down to Leonardtown and on the way back, we stopped at Rita's for a couple Misto's. Unfortunately, John hasn't been able to find the "Mint Chocolate Chip" flavor since his first Misto earlier this summer. I think that is his favorite so far. I'm partial to the Black Cherry myself, which no one seems to have anymore either. So, I keep trying something new each time. They're all OK, but I may stick with Cherry for the rest of the summer (unless Black Cherry is available). If they'd only open one in Laurel and year-round, we'd be set!!!

So John's mono has him off work till after Labor Day (doc's orders!). We have all this time to spend together! It's like a glimpse into what life might be like when we're old and retired. Two old folks hangin' out.

Wishing everyone a fantastic weekend!
