Making Lemonade
Only to find out that the listing was incorrect. The early movie was 10am and the next showing would be at 11am. So, we bought the 11am tickets. At least.. we THOUGHT we had 11am tickets. But after we were seated and then waiting and waiting, we looked at the tickets to find out that it was for 11:30! What an irritation, to stay at the theater an hour early for a movie. Greg was chomping at the bit during the "previews" - just get the movie already!
I enjoyed Harry Potter and wouldn't mind seeing it again :) They did a good job with bringing all the stories together.
Greg was hungry after the show; we decided on Chinese. There's a restaurant in the area we like, only we got into the wrong lane and ended up going over the Huey P Long, or as we natives like to say "Huey P Narrow" - because the bridge has very narrow lanes. (The Huey P crosses over the Mississippi River going from the EastBank to the WestBank.) There is construction going on right now with the bridge to make more lanes. In the meantime.. not only did we have to go over the bridge, with Greg hungry and me having to pee.... we had to take a DETOUR off the bridge in order to just get back on in order to turn back around... Ugh...
Then.... we finally get back on the bridge to go back to the Eastbank (where the restaurant is) and wouldn't you know it. We are on the middle of the bridge and at a stand still. There was an accident. Greg called his Mom on his cell to vent and me.... like any good blogger, I took out my little camera (not the fancy honeymoon camera) and took pictures. I told Greg, "Well, I've always wanted to take pictures while going on this bridge.... and since we're just stuck here..." He laughed and said, "Making lemonade out of lemons."

Looks so rugged !
BTW, harry Potter seems to have captured the imagination of people all around the world !
toughly dense,
and straight,
standing in support;
some
combining
at angles
with others,
united
in support,
and
some,
like a dedicated thought,
running across
the whole
set up,
a cable here
some nuts there.
All loaded,
waiting
to exhale,
at the release of
traffic.
Down below,
sitting in support,
in air conditioned glory,
a hungry guy,
unmoved in traffic,
and a
creative lady,
holding it all in,
again,
waiting
for another type
of release....
H(ue)y there, Aleta ! :-))
I absolutely HATE being in stand-still traffic on bridges. The Mississippi bridge in Baton Rouge is THEE worst, especially since the suspension causes it to bounce.
We went to the midnight showing of H.P. - and then had to go back again to take the son who had been at camp:) There were things we missed but all enjoyed!
Love your picts! - and your new blog idea!
