jon_leonard and I went to see Toy Story 3 tonight. It was great! Highly recommended, although I think some of the scary parts may be a little too intense on the big screen for my kids. The 3D effects were not intrusive, but not worth the extra $4/ticket.

After getting home I made an angel food cake for

patrissimo and

choiceful's baby shower tomorrow. (Let me know if you need an invite.)

I'm not sure what I've been doing wrong with the angel food cakes lately. I used to be able to make them from scratch just fine following the Joy of Cooking directions. The last one I made was completely fallen, I knew it before I even put it in the oven, and this one isn't as bad, but is likely to yield 2 layers instead of the traditional 3.

Come to think of it, the last time I made cakes regularly was before I had kids, which was also before I had my Kitchen Aid mixer. I wonder if it's beating the whites too hard? Must experiment more.

Movie tickets: $20.50
Large box of Junior mints and a medium soda: $8
Babysitting for 4 hours: $20
Finally getting out to see a movie: priceless

We should do this more often. I finally joined a babysitting co-op, so perhaps we'll be able to do it a little more cheaply in the future. (In exchange for sitting other people's children.)
