Weekend Wrap
Well, I had a GREAT weekend. Let me sum up...
Friday night, I got to hang out with Mindy & Stacey for a little "girl time." That was a ton of fun. Steak and salad and friends...what more could you ask for. The kids were there, too, which was really fun. It seemed to me that Dalton, her four year old, was flirting with me. Very cute.
Saturday morning, I got to sleep in, a little longer than I expected, and I woke up and watched a little Spongebob. Love that Spongebob...is everyone aware that the Spongebob Squarepants Movie is coming out on November 19? Wee Haw! That should be fun. Well, after a failed attempt to attend a breakfast buffet with Stacey on Saturday morning, I successfully talked my brother into going to see "The Forgotten" with me. That's a movie, in case anyone was wondering. I really liked the movie. My brother described it as one long X-Files episode, which I would have liked anyway...loved the X-Files. My favorite show while it was on. I thought the movie was sci-fi fun, while keeping me guessing at the same time. There were little twists that I wasn't expecting, which I love. There were moments that made me go "NO WAY!" which I love. Plus, I really like the actors in the movie...Julianne Moore, Dominic West and Gary Sinise were great in their various parts. There were definitely some story points that were stretches to believability, but I think that was part of the appeal of the movie for me. It made you stretch your brain a little. You had to believe what was happening, to GET the movie. If you like sci-fi, and dramatic stories, and even if you don't especially like sci-fi, I think you could buy into this film, for the drama. Just prepare to test yourself. I would definitely recommend it.
So, moving along on Saturday. How much do I want to divulge here, I got to talk to a good friend on the phone for a little while before I went to church. That was really fun. Then, I went to church, where we started our next sermon series on Experiencing God, where the technical crew seemed to be Experiencing Technical Difficulties. I kind of felt bad for them. Worship was great, though, and the message was great. Came home, watched Moulin Rouge. Love that movie...Ewan McGregor is so great in that. Who knew he could sing, too?
Ok, Sunday...we're almost there...I did The Firm Tone & Sculpt workout. Good Grief...my legs are SO sore today. It hurts to stand and sit...and walk...and, well, pretty much move at all. It's a good pain, though. It proves that I worked the muscles...and that I need to work them more. Yeesh. I was going to go see First Daughter, another movie, on Sunday afternoon, but I was inspired to stay home. I made a late lunch, and read a book...I finished the book. I decided to try to finish another book, and I did. Harry Potter #3, done. I then got some much needed errands done. Did a little exploratory shopping for some upcoming events and holidays, and did some filler grocery shopping, since Stacey and I leave for Boston in less than ONE WEEK! Yipee! Came home, made dinner, which was really good, if I must say so myself, which I must, since no one else was there to enjoy it. I realized I had not talked to anyone all day when Stacey called me, and I basically talked her ear off for about 45 minutes. Funny. Thanks for listening to me babble Stace, I appreciate it!
Finally, Sunday night, I watched Star Wars: Episode IV A NEW HOPE, my new DVD. So very cool. What a great movie. There's just not enough good things to say about Star Wars. But, was that a Gungan in the Cantina now? What is a Gungan doing in the Outer Rim? I didn't understand that. oh, well. Anyway, I finally finished the DaVinci Code after Star Wars was over. What a great, productive day. I felt really good about myself. Very...productive.
So, here's hoping I can continue the trend...here's hoping.
