I'm going to a horse race on Sunday. I haven't been to one in years... Anyone ever go? Think it would be bad to bet the minimum of $2 a race? I really don't want to gamble, but I thought it'd make ti more fun...:shrug:

Oooo, we used to go all the time when I was a kid! My grandpa would give us $5 to put on any horse (we didn't know we were gambling at the time :lol: ). We'd always pick them by name, of course, so they rarely won :rolleyes:

I haven't read any for fear it might give things away. So people tended to like it? Rottentomatoes.com has it at 50%. I'm just thinking it's going to be so LONG!

I love the Lord of the Rings trilogy and saw the last two in the theater; Two Towers is about 3 hrs, Return of the King is about 3 1/2. POTC: AWE will be a piece of cake! Besides it depends on how much soda (pop, coke, etc :rolleyes: ) you drink anyway. :D

I have to come clean here: this weekend is our Canal Days festival, which is a basically a street fair in downtown Dover. My daughter will be doing her dance routines on Saturday afternoon, and my FIL and step-MIL have decided to come over to see her. Which sounds very nice. But....I DON'T WANT COMPANY. My house is truly a mess, and I haven't felt much like cleaning. Plus, my step-MIL is bringing two of her own grandkids along, whom I don't even know. And my BIL is also coming. So, a whole houseful and I'm completely not ready for any of them. Is it wrong to pray for bad weather? If it rains, we aren't going, since the stage is outside. :brick: :brick: And they may not come if the weather is bad.
Sorry...I know it sounds childish, it's just honestly how I feel. I'm not particularly close to DH's family, never have been.

The festival sounds like fun! I love street fests! One of the many things I miss about Chicago is summer festival season.

Want me to do my Stephanie-Raindance for you to take care of the weather? :king:

Can you arrange it that you all meet up at the Festival, spend time together there, maybe share a meal, and then call it a day?

I'm sorry. And you're not being childish. I know how it is to not completely enjoy being around your in-laws.
At least your mother-in-law didn't say "you think you're better than everyone" to your face and laugh at you when you started crying. :lookaroun
