It's Sunday morning, and Tom is back out in the garage doing car repairs. He was unable to finish his car yesterday, so he will do that now. Mine is running great now, thankfully. Even though I am generally a  homebody, I kind of go a little nuts if I don't have a vehicle. Even if I don't want or need to go anywhere, I do need to know that I have the option! Strange, I know, but what can I say?

Yesterday, once my car was fixed, I took Devin to Border's for a Diary of a Wimpy Kid movie party they were having for the kids. Back in November, I took him to a party there for the release of the latest Wimpy Kid book, and he had a great time! He LOVES those books and he really liked the movie, so off we went for the par-tay. It was free (which fit into my budget perfectly!) and the kids played a trivia game, with questions about each of the books, and then another, called the Fregley game, based on the character Fregley. Each kid had to read a quote from the notoriously gross Fregley without laughing or smiling, and if they did, they won a prize, which was a package of Silly Bands. Basically, every kid got a prize, and they served them refreshments, so all the kids left happy, which means all the parents left happy, too!

And now it's time for song of the day! Today's song was released in 1993 and is probably known to some of you already. The song is "Dusted" by the group Belly,from their album "Star" Belly was a New England-based band led by Tanya Donelly, formerly of Throwing Muses and the Breeders. "Star" was Belly's debut album, and it had the hit song "Feed the Tree". I like that song, but I really prefer "Dusted" as it is more of a rocker. If I remember correctly, Belly only released one more album after "Star", which didn't do as well commercially. Notice the little plastic dancer figures on the album cover? I remember having a set of those when I was a kid. I had ordered them from an ad in the back of one of my Betty & Veronica comic books. I think there were 100 of them in the set, and I remember I used to set them all up on my Dad's coffee table to play with them. That has nothing to do with anything, just an old memory I thought I would share!

Take care!
