I did meet up for lunch with a couple of friends and that was very nice. Yesterday was laundry and grocery shopping and that's about it. I will be watching American Ninja Warrior tonight and am looking so forward to it! I have my coronary CT scan on Thursday---should be interesting to see what they say about my size.... dalbador1https://www.blogger.com/profile/09877799102438622117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-13497642729860777922014-08-11T12:18:21.032-04:002014-08-11T12:18:21.032-04:00Well this weekend was the end of our vacation.

Me and hubby celebrated 5 years of being married so we had some amazing burgers at a little place a few cities away. Then we went to the jewelry store and he bought me an anniversary band to match my wedding band:) I think I'm glowing.

(I did try her homemade bacon baked beans one time and it was WAY too bacony...I can't believe I just said that! But I heavily altered it and made it the way we like them.) I would love to eat the recipes she cooks but I'm not working a ranch from pre-dawn to dusk so that's out! LOL I know she said she's lost 20 lbs recently and I hope she starts wearing some more form fitting clothing on her shows.<br /><br />Quiet can be good! :-) Yeah, I don't know who the demographic for that movie was because even the bowling scenes weren't really about bowling, ya know?

Probably why I've gained 30 pounds. I am amazed that she stays slim, because she liberally uses butter and flour and sugar in all her cooking. I have noticed she takes nightly walks with Charley, the Bassett Hound, and she always wears full, flowing blouses, perhaps to hide a little tummy? I don't know but the rest of her looks pretty trim. I didn't like that she dissed our tried and true method of making cinnamon toast either. Glad to hear you like the "toast, then butter and sprinkle with cinnamon/sugar," method better too. It's quicker and easier to make it LITER! Now that you've tried lightening up Ree's method, somewhat unsuccessfully, I won't have to mess with that. Dang....talking about cinnamon toast gets me hankering for it. Wait Five Minutes Pam!!! Does that ever work for you???<br /><br />Our weekend was very quiet, I caught the end of The Big Lebowski, and was not impressed either. I have heard of the cult following for that movie, of course my son (who is a good bowler and only 28) loves it, maybe you have to be a male aged 45 or below? My hubs didn't seem to be too impressed with the movie either, although the Sam Elliot ending was kind of cool--I love Sam!!!dupsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18088114640385927198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-81699052697198924712014-08-11T09:54:35.059-04:002014-08-11T09:54:35.059-04:00There was a point where the dancing bowling pin la...There was a point where the dancing bowling pin ladies were doing some number and the DVD jammed up and you were like "oh you'd better not" and I was like "thank you God for answering my prayers!" <br /><br />Yes it did go by fast. I'm hoping we can swing by the antique store this weekend and pick up that wood piece he's supposed to cut for me. I want to get it painted and hung. I want to get the whole living room done so I can then start stressing about holiday projects.

It easily slides into my top 5 worst movies ever. Ugh.<br /><br />It should've been noted that is like 3 weeks worth of laundry that was just thrown into the laundry basket in the basement and we foraged through it like college students for weeks.

We saw "Journey of 100 Feet" which is a movie that I never would have chosen in a million years, but it was actually pretty good. A nice, safe, feel good movie with some light laughs.<br /><br />I saw "The Big Lebowski" in the theaters when it first came out. By accident. We missed the start time of the one we actually went to see, so we saw it instead. I wasn't high, and I wasn't impressed - so maybe you're right.<br /><br />Don't mess with my cinnamon toast! I so don't need it slathered and baked. A swipe of margarine and a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar is all I need, and all I want.<br /><br />Isn't it amazing how so few people can create so much laundry?another layerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15756727485274694135noreply@blogger.com
