Slept really late this morning. Woke up at 6:30, but Hubbie was sound asleep, so I lay awake until 7:30, when I fell asleep again. Didn't wake back up until nearly 9 a.m. The yard was puddled after two and a half inches of rain fell last night. Thankfully, we didn't get any snow, though a northwest county of the state, where Hubbie's daughter lives, got eleven inches of the white stuff.

Skipped my exercises this morning, and just went on and got ready for the day. Mother came over and put a beef roast with onions and carrots into the slow cooker. For the rest of the morning, we visited, read the newspaper, did laundry, programmed the DVR, planned the week's menu, etc.

The beef roast was yummy, served with mashed potatoes and gravy. Mother went home after lunch, and Hubbie and I ran errands...to the WDCS for groceries for the week, to a grocery store for eggs at four dozen for $5, and to a gas station to fill the van.

Back home, I wrote a letter to my friend to enclose in her screen door birthday card. I'll mail the card tomorrow, hoping it arrives in time for her birthday Tuesday.

For supper, Hubbie and I had the rest of the tomato soup, with bean sandwiches on hamburger buns, again. Later, we watched the movie, "Taken," a 2008, PG-13 movie starring Liam Neeson, Famke Janssen, and Maggie Grace. A man's career as a spy forces him to become estranged from his daughter. In her teen years, he tries to establish a relationship. On a trip to Paris, the daughter is kidnapped by slavers, and the father uses all his spy skills to find her. There's quite a bit of violence in the movie, so it surprises me that it's not more restricted than PG-13.

Then we watched a state university's women's basketball team in tournament play...the first time in their history that the college's women have reached this level...and they won! Looking forward to seeing them play again Tuesday.
