Sunday, July 15

Today is National Ice Cream Day, as proclaimed by President Ronald Reagan in 1984. Did you have your scoop today?

Slept late, until around 8:30. Skipped my exercises after breakfast, as I frequently do on Sundays. Did the usual Sunday things during the morning. Hubbie accompanied Mother to our house around 10 a.m., and she and I put together a meatloaf for the oven, while Hubble washed baking potatoes.

We watched TV until lunchtime, including a Lifetime Movie Network feature called, "And Baby Will Fall." A couple is expecting a baby, but are soon suspected of killing a former acquaintance, also pregnant, who attended their yard sale.

Later, the meatloaf and baked potatoes were good, served with green beans, and the remainder of the sauteed squash. Afterward, we continued watching TV...this time an AMC channel year 2000 feature called, "U571." This WWII war film centers around a submariners who disguise themselves as Germans in order to capture their submarine and steal their Enigma cipher machine. The machine was a German engineer invention designed to encryt and decrypt secret messages.

Mother was ready to go home after that, so I accompanied her, and stayed at her house until she finished take a shower. I threw a load of laundry in the washer before coming back home.

Hubbie and I wasted the evening in front of TV, as usual. Watched another Lifetime movie called, "Blue-Eyed Butcher," a true crime drama about a woman who kills her husband by stabbing him 193 times, while he is tied to their bed, and then buries him in the backyard. She claims violence and abuse during their four-year marriage, while the prosecution claims she is a scheming woman, who lured her husband to his death.

We finished the evening watching, "The Help." We'd seen this at the movie theater when it first came out, but Hubbie was interested in seeing it again. It's definitely worth a re-watch, though I liked the book better.
