I think I'm finally getting over this flu/cold thing that has plagued me this past week. After missing a couple of days of work last week, I'm now just down to a sporadic cough. Speaking of my missed work last week, I spent a lot of my time in bed, well sleeping, but also reading Harry Potter. I decided to read the whole series this summer, because why not? I got the complete set of books from Danny for my birthday (a very suitable birthday gift for a 30-year-old) and it has been ages since I read them. Anyway, I found that a fever + reading Harry Potter all day + cold medicine = psychedelic Harry Potter dreams. Seriously, I spent a lot of time flying on broomsticks in my dreams last week, weird.
Also, because of my lack of feeling well, cooking dinner has been nonexistent for longer than I want to admit. I have come to accept the fact that eating out a lot does come with the territory of both Danny and myself working; however, I get sick of it after awhile. Anyway, I had finally gone shopping this weekend and was all prepped to make dinner last night. Then ten minutes after being home the power went out. Oh the irony! Without electricity, we used our survival skills of going out to dinner, then topping off with gelato and enjoying the movie Mud. I really liked the movie and I thought it was really well done. Danny did have to tell me what the kids in the movie were saying sometimes. They had thick southern accents and when they muttered I couldn't hear all the lines. Having a southern husband sure comes in handy. After the movie, we walked hand in hand in the rain back to our car. Turned out to be a lovely evening.
PS If you are in SLC and decide to go see Mud, don't go to the Tower Theatre. We went there and I was NOT impressed. Overly priced, crappy seats, gross bathroom and horrible customer service. All the hipster employees acted rather perturbed that we dare interrupt their lounging around to come see a movie. Anyway, you've been warned.

We used to love the Tower Theatre but I imagine things can change after 40 years! If you want some power outage recipes let me know.
