Boring Tuesday

I actually took the last couple of days off from work. No particular reason, I have a lot of leave built up and the time shift made me extra sleepy in the morning. I mowed the yard yesterday and patched up some of the dead spots in the lawn.

Today, I went to see The Ladykillers. I have to say I was a bit disappointed. Tom Hanks' character is overly verbose and comes across as being pompous and annoying, which may be the point of the character. I also think the movie centered too much on the robbery aspects instead of the murder attempts on the old boarding house lady, which was supposed to be the main source of the dark comedy. No spoilers for those who haven't seen it. It was an okay film.

Now I'm home and bored senseless. I was tempted to sneak into another film and watch it, but decided against it.

From the "It figures" department....

I just got a call from my sister tonight. She immediately asked if my house was clean. Why? Because my mom and stepdad are coming up to stay the night tomorrow. How ironic is that? Here I take the last two days off and now I really need tomorrow off instead. Ugh!

They're not due until tomorrow afternoon, but I need to work close by in case she calls early. I'm going to have to rearrange my plans for tomorrow now. Don't get me wrong, I'm thrilled they are coming. My mom hasn't been to my house since last summer and my stepdad has never been here. Luckily I had plenty of time to clean house.

Now we'll see how savvy my stepdad is as I'm not sure Mom has told him that I play for the other team. Not that anything in the house is obvious, except for my original Leonard and Larry cartoon framed in my home office.
