They really are The Incredibles!

Donna and I went to see The Incredibles tonight! SO FUNNY! Totally deserves the excellent reviews it has gotten. It's the best movie I've seen in ages. It was playing in Edmonds. We have the coolest little theater right down the street from me. It's one screen and was totally remodeled just a few years ago so it looks great and has a new sound system.

I walked down early to get our tickets for the 4:30 show. I got there crazy early so walked around downtown for a while. I can't believe how much has changed down there! Good grief, I live a 5 minute walk away and haven't been down there in probably a year. There are new restaurants, new stores, and so many people! There's a new burger shop opening up soon too. That should be cool. After the movie Donna and I went to the Thai place right next door to the theater. We got ripped off on a $9.00 plate of appetizers that were worth about $3.00, but my entree was good. Donna's looked kind of plain.

The last time I was downtown there was a kitchen store right across from the fountain. Like I said, it was probably a year ago that I was there, but when I strolled through the store I noticed the guy running the place. An older, really nice looking man. Although I have hideous gaydar, I was pretty sure he was gay. So today I wandered around the corner and found that the store wasn't even there anymore! I was kind of disappointed since I thought it would be fun to wander through again and see if he was there. So instead I headed down to the ferry. On my way I saw a new store called "Housewares," so I wandered in to look around. Well, low and behold, it was the same guy, he just moved his store.

When I walked in I saw him helping a woman with something big she had bought. He was headed towards the door with her and as we passed we made serious eye contact and exchanged nice smiles as well as "hi, how ya doing?" OK, so it wasn't much, but it was a start. I lingered for a while but he never made it back. So I'm thinking there must be a kitchen gadget or two that I can't live without. I'll have to go in several times and buy them one at a time. :-)
