Still need to check that lottery ticket

We celebrated a birthday this week in the Munder household. We'll gloss over just who celebrated and how many years were racked up, but it was good day. Can you sense the theme o' the day in the following description?

Cat insists we get up/coffee/petting and cat brushing/watching birds on the deck
ate
Went to see "Skyfall". Our opinion? Best Bond movie ever - but wow, we went to a 10:20am showing and didn't get out of the theater until 1:00pm. Was it really that long or were we caught in some strange time warp?
ate
Came home and napped with cat
snacked (just to change things up)
Watched football
ate

The day continued, but you get the gist. Luckily, no antacids were abused during the celebration.

We also enjoyed a few free bonuses. Not only did we enjoy the reduced matinee movie price, but also ended up paying for only one ticket. Sweet. Then at lunch we received a free entree and appetiser. Double score! In the end we decided it would be a good day to stop and buy a lottery ticket. Surely if good things were going to happen, this would be the day.

Now, we just need to find were we put said ticket and check it.

Ewh. Just ... Ewh.

Yes, yes. It's all common sense. But the *ewh* factor still hits home.
