Mutants are Cool

Man, the day did NOT start out well. We were planning a Mother's Day BBQ at my sister's house and I was making a corn casserole.
I took it out of the oven with pot holders and one side slipped and the rest happened in slow motion.
I saw it fall toward the opened oven door, it hit the door and the top of the casserole slid off and I thought "That's ok, I can salvage it." but then it took a bounce and hit the floor face down and shattered into a million pieces, the casserole and my beautiful Corning cranberry casserole dish.
I stared at it in a pile on my kitchen floor for about 3 seconds, grabbed the phone and called my sister. "Do we have enough food?"
I told her what happened nearly in tears and she said "Oh God, we've got more than enough food. Don't cry, just come on over and drink some wine."
So, I did.

Later, I spent some time at Barnes and Noble reading up on Buddhism, my new obsession. After, I went to dinner and a movie with a friend.
We saw X2. I was never an X-Men fan, never read the comics but I did see the first movie and liked it. The second one is better, action-wise.
It was pretty intense and kept me entertained and a little nervous the entire time. Not to mention Hugh Jackman as Wolverine is some definite eye candy.
I wonder how many people get the parallels between our world and the world of the X-Men comics.

Oh, I have to brag. My oldest nephew isn't perfect but he's damn close. He's an outstanding young man who just turned 22 and is a junior at Texas A&M.
He sent me his picture after he got his ring. pic deleted
He's not pretending to be James Bond in the pic. That's the Aggie senior "whoop" sign.
