We bought lots of flowers, herbs, and veggies. It was a hard winter here. We lost several roses alone, and strangely, a lot of the cone flowers and black-eyed Susan’s. Since they are wild flowers we were really surprised they didn’t make it even with all the snow and cold. We planted some yesterday and Chickie & I, mostly her, have planted more today. Especially from her and Meerkat I have a Don Juan climbing rose by our patio steps. We’ll be getting a trellis this week for it.<\/p>\n<p>My ex dropped Trinity, our daughter, off early so she could spend Mother’s Day with me today. She got me a black, leather picture frame with a new picture of her and Jon in it. “To put in your office,” she said, so I will. Jon got me flowers, roses to be exact. Meerkat and Chickie came back over after visiting with Chickie’s family and they went to see the movie with us. Trinity wanted to take me to a movie for Mother’s Day. She asked days ago what I wanted to see. My answer, “Iron Man 2.”<\/p>\n<p>“Isn’t that more a Father’s Day movie?” she asked.<\/p>\n<p>“Not if I’m your mom,” I answered.<\/p>\n<p>She thought that was fair, but did try and persuade me for a movie more “typically” mom-flavored, but there was only one thing I wanted to see this weekend, and that was Iron Man 2, so we did. It totally rocked! If you want physics to work, and the science to be more science and less fiction, then see something else, but if you want to have fun and watch some amazing pyrotechnics, then this movie is the ticket for the weekend.<\/p>\n<p>One of the reasons there was only one movie I wanted to see was that Jon and I had gone to see “The Losers” earlier in the week on a surprise date night. Trin didn’t want to see it, and we did. It is also a very fun movie, but there is more “realistic” violence, but it’s still movie violence if you know what I mean. It’s a nittier and grittier movie then Iron Man, but it was also fun, and had great pyrotechnics. It is also a blow-shit-up-real-good-summer-action-movie. We are planning to see “The Losers” again on the big screen, and we probably won’t feel compelled to see Iron Man a second time in theaters. Does that mean we liked “The Losers” better? I’m not sure, but it does mean that we’re willing to pay to see it again, and we’ll wait for a second viewing of Iron Man on DVD, but make sure you see it on the big screen at least once because it is a hell of a show.<\/p>\n<p>Jon is back with take-out so time to bring Chickie in before she’s planting in the dark, and have our family Mother’s Day meal. Before someone asks, Meerkat and Chica are family of choice, though we have two houses, them being with us help make ours a home.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What I did for Mother’s Day: Yesterday we, my husband Jon and I, went to the garden store with Meerkat and Chickie, aka Chica.
