Why Is It Raining in the House? Weekend Recap
Guten Morgan this fine Monday. I hope your weekend was a bitchin one and you're ready for a short week. (Or maybe you pup owners are breaking out the Thunder shirts in anticipation of the people who are going to be setting off fireworks for the next seven days. I know we always have people setting them off at random usually starting tonight. I do actually miss sparklers from when I was a kid and conducting a symphony to make shapes in the air burned into your vision.) Friday was exhausting y'all. I had to get some worm spray for a looper worm infestation on my brassicas (who the hell am I??) and whilst poking around the nursery with lightning and looming thunder Thursday night, I spotted a flat of begonias marked down to $10. Given my zinnias couldn't stay in the long planters because they need sun, I had to relent and buy the begonias. Anything to block the sea hag from peeking over. So Friday morning I got to work picking of...
My legs are sore too. Last time I assign you any homework. Sheesh! I did like that movie. Good to have a decent movie to watch again, considering how bad the last one was!
ReplyDeleteHA! That's what I thought! ;) Yeah and it was nice to have a good family movie that everyone can watch which I read is why Billy did it. I had to seriously think about what the last movie was we watched! I apparently tried to block "This is 40."
DeleteThe last round of rentals I had are about as opposite of "Parental Guidance" as possible. My last rental group included:
ReplyDelete2 discs from season 1 of "Game of Thrones" (lots of beheadings and incest and. . .yeah. . .)
"Seven Psychopaths" (lots of violence, cussing, and Christopher Walkin wearing a neckerchief. Oh, and a cute dog.)
"Cleanskin" (gunplay, espionage, explosions and Sean Bean aka Lord Stark from "Game of Thrones")
"Killer Joe" (Matthew McConaughey and his drawl being mega creepy and changing the way you think about K Fried C legs. . .really, you'll never look at them the same way again. It's also NC17, a well deserved rating.)
As for workouts, I was doing a Deck workout for a bit. All you need is a deck of playing cards (sans Jokers). Assign an exercise to each suite. Shuffle the deck, set a timer (for 30 minutes) and see how many cards you can get through. For numbered cards, you do the number. Face cards = 12. Aces = 15. I like to lay mine out in sets of four. My exercises are thrusters, weighted sumo squats with toe lifts, star crunches, and walk out pushups. I've nearly been reduced to tears when I turn over four high value cards of the same exercise (oh, those walk out pushups are so time consumming and HARD).
Yes, I'd say your rentals far differ from ours! LOL You're a dude's dream with all of that action, cussin' and violence! :)
DeleteThat workout sounds AWESOME! Might have to give that a try once we get in an exer-rut again!
The last batch of rentals were kids movies. Wreck it Ralph and Hop. Both cute, but I wouldn't rent either for myself.
ReplyDeleteLast movie hubby and I rented... maybe Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter. It's been a while. Mostly we've been watching stuff that we've recorded or old shows on Netflix.
No workout creations here. Sorry. The workout with cards definitely sounds interesting, I may borrow it but put easier exercises to the cards - stuff like crunches and jumping jacks that I can actually manage.
Awesome..u need to share that workout...I am obsessed with Zumba as of now..still figuring out the booty steps...hahaha
ReplyDeleteGame og thrones season 2 was what i saw online..prefer the books over the series..as its all weird watching it..
I liked Parental Guidance:)
Funny, I thought I wouldn't rent This is 40 after you panned it, but another friend loved it. Now I'm curious. Probably won't rent it anyway, because we never rent movies, but I'll put Parental Guidance on my list of movies to watch for five years from now when it might be on one of my satellite channels.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the warning about the workout. If you guys can't walk, it would probably cripple me for life, lol. The deck of cards exercise sounds kind of fun, though. Luck of the draw.
I must be dating myself too, because when Billy Crystal was on SNL, I actually watched it!
