I took a break from my crazy week yesterday afternoon, and I escaped to the movies to see Despicable Me. It was extremely funny. (I'm glad to know the former name of the Bank of Evil, and the copier scene ranks right up there with Jane Fonda in "9 to 5.") Thanks, everyone who recommended it!

And I want adorable minions! I would get so much accomplished if I had staff.

It was an enjoyable way to beat the heat. The adults in the theatre laughed as at the jokes as the kids did at the slap-stick. It even has a great soundtrack.

Go see it. Stay cool and have a great weekend!
