Anyone Up for a Free Movie?

From the Regal Entertainment website:

REG’s Free Family Film Festival is Now Showing!
When school’s out, kids around the country visit selected Regal theatres for the Free Family Film Festival. It’s a fun-filled nine weeks of movies for kids and parents. Since 1991, Regal has provided this service to the community, and best of all it’s FREE!
Selected G & PG movies start at 10AM each Tuesday and Wednesday during the festival. First-come, first-served seating is limited to theatre capacity. The Free Family Film Festival is safe, lots of fun and a great way for kids to spend a weekday morning in the summer.
Tickets for our 2009 Free Family Film Festival are exclusively available at select theatres’ box office on the day of the show.

You can also select a state from the list below to find participating theatres in your area along with what films are playing each week!

Best Ever Lemonade

Here's my recipe for lemonade (or lemon-limeade, I should say.) It is delicious and easy.

Ingredients:
the juice of 8 lemons and 4 limes*
1 & 1/2 to 2 cups of sugar, depending on preference
water

Place the sugar in a 1-gallon pitcher.
Place the juice and a little water in a sauce pan and bring to a boil.
Immediately pour hot juice mixture over the sugar and stir until the sugar is dissolved.
Add cold water or cold water & ice to make 1 gallon.
Serve chilled and/or over ice.
Ahhhh...perfect.

*Easy squeezing tips:
Roll the fruit on your cutting board or counter to soften up the inside.
See here for the easiest way ever to juice lemons and limes by hand.

Inconsistent

I am so hopeless when it comes to blogging regularly. I don't know why I keep one up; just because I like to babble, I suppose. There's rarely anyone home to babble to so I babble to the vast emptiness of the internet.

Jun's quilt top is nearly finished. It would already be finished if I didn't hate using the iron so much. Yes, I have put off sewing the strips together just because I have to press the seams. I hate ironing that much.

In the meantime, while I've been busy not finishing the quilt top, I have begun a pale pink baby afghan that is gorgeous in some shimmery baby yarn. It is probably about one-quarter finished. I also read Eclipse, the third book in Stephenie Meyer's Twilight Saga. I know these books were originally intended for the teen audience, but butter my butt and call me biscuit...how I love them. I don't know exactly what the pull for us adult readers is toward this story but I know for a fact I am not the only grown up woman who adores them.

Okie dokie, back to stitching now.
