Well, thanks Atlanta! How could I forget the treacherous traffic on I-85... So, I sat on I-85 for a while this morning on my way to work because of a terrible accident and 6 lanes went down to 3 lanes… Thank goodness for knitting…
Work was OK. I only took a 30-minute lunch and therefore left at 4pm. The pooches were excited to see me and seemed OK for their first full day alone.
I was busy for a while around the house. Jacquie picked up Jessica's sofa during the day, because IKEA told me to expect my new furniture either tomorrow or on Wednesday. I called to find out when exactly and was told because I live in the boonies (thank you very much!) I have to give them a 12-hour time frame to deliver. This means I have to be at home between 8am and 8pm. That sucks, doesn't it? So, I could have had my delivery tomorrow but - a bunch of us from the office have tickets for Dark Knight at the IMAX tomorrow and the show starts at 7pm. And we have to get in line totally early to get good seats. So, I decided not to stress it and now I took Monday next week off to get my new furniture. In the meantime, this is my temporary living room furniture - fancy, no?
I think I should put one of the coolers next to one of the camping chairs and light the fireplace. Hey, I live in the North Georgia boonies… Any guitar players around? OK, let's not go there…
Here is a Hermione-tricks-Mommy-with-the-green-beans update for you...
7:52pm - Minced green beans (yes, I have a cutting board in the shape of Texas from the times when Irwin lived in Houston)
7:53pm - Dinner is served
7:57pm - All gone... HAH!
And I baked my first brownies tonight. Yes, from a package, but I added white chocolate morsels and from what I had to taste when I cut them to cool off, they seemed pretty tasty. The package came with a cut-out for the Batman sign.
The perfect dessert for the office tomorrow before we go see the movie! I can't wait - it'll be interesting to see Heath Ledger perform for the last time. He died way too young… I am also a big fan of Gary Oldman, Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman. I'll let you know how I liked the movie.

We are going to the IMAX in Buford on Saturday afternoon to see the Batman movie. It's my first IMAX experience. I'm not a big Batman fan but had to see Heath in this.

Hee, love the Texas cutting board. I have a Texas-shaped baking pan I got at an estate sale. Are there any kitchen utensils *not* available in the shape of Texas?!
Hope you enjoy the movie! I am drooling over the brownies.
