A long weekend...

I'm hoping that my girls won't mind me using this photo of them...I just love it! As you can see, my nest was NOT empty this weekend! Twinkies were in the house. It was so good to reconnect with Mandi and to have both girls in the house together and getting along! One of the benefits of having them home is that we get to catch up with their friends, too!

It was a good weekend for rest, catching up on chores and seeing a few movies, too.

Took the girls for dinner and a movie on Saturday - went to see Bridesmaids. It was funny, but pretty crass and crude in spots - I'm a little embarrassed that I laughed as much as I did. I would compare it to The Hangover - if you liked it - you should like this one, too. The bottom line for me - I wish we had seen Midnight in Paris, instead. Maybe next weekend.

Yesterday, Mandi and I watched I Am Number Four on pay per view. It didn't do all that well in theaters, but I am a sucker for a good-alien-tries-to-blend-in-as-a-human-and-falls-in-love-with-the-beautiful-human-girl-while-running-away-from-the-bad-aliens movie. The good alien boy was awfully cute and the scary bad aliens were sufficiently scary. There were some good sidekicks, too. I am just sorry that they have put the sequel on hold for now. It's worth renting.

The last movie that I saw this weekend was a Netflix film that has been sitting here waiting for me to watch it for a couple of weeks. Catfish is a documentary that came out over a year ago. I had heard quite a bit of buzz about it, always meant to watch it and then forgot about it until i found it on Netflix and put it in my queue. It's a very interesting story - I can't say too much about it because I don't want to give anything away here. I think the reason I enjoyed it so much is because I didn't know much about it. So, if you are in the mood for something a little different rent this movie. It also has a cute boy in it.

Besides watching movies and chatting with my darling daughters and their friends, I caught up on my laundry AND my homework. Ron and I watched the Indy 500 and he caught up some much needed rest - I hope - he napped quite a bit. It was sad to see Mandi leave today, but we know she'll be home again soon.

BTW, this happens to be my 100th blog post! And they said it would never last!
