Boring Weekend Recap
source Monday, we meet again. You come on like lightning you saucy wench. I hope you all had a great weekend and managed to keep cool. We got up to 96 at different times so that's...fun. I have to start with these two cards I got in the mail Thursday night. The big paper one is from the friends we gifted our old grill to. The Mr and I cracked up at the hot dog 'thanks' on what is an exact image of the grill along with a lovely note from the Mrs of the couple thanking us profusely as they didn't have money to replace their grill that was falling apart. The other is from my friend I've known since 1988 and he doesn't send out cards much so this was a surprise. It was him telling us how lucky he is to have us a friends and how much we mean to him and he thought we should know. It made me cry for sure (and then of course check in to make sure he was okay. He is.) Obviously any kind of communication is appreciated but t...
Had a great walk. It was so amazingly pleasant outside. So unlike July but I'll take it! Movie night was a bit of a miss but that's okay. I liked some parts of Transcendence but they definitely could have edited it down a bit and they did go overboard with some of the things he was able to do. The Other Woman just didn't quite capture my interest as much but there were some funny parts. I've certainly seen worse.
ReplyDeleteYeah when it's that nice outside any time of year much less July, you get out and soak it up!
DeleteYes we most certainly have seen MUCH worse.
I just love that waterfall!
ReplyDeleteI love the way it sounds. We walked in a park last week that had a nice babbling brook (man made) and I thought "man, I'd love to have that in the back yard and listen to that all day!" So soothing!
DeleteIt's been a much wetter cooler summer here. That's been nice, but it means the hot days are more humid that usual and my swamp cooler does nothing. The drier it is outside, the more effective the thing is - but after years of drought I won't complain.
ReplyDeleteI've been wanting to see Transcendence, and I will probably rent despite your "glowing" review. The other one I'm not real interested in. I tried to rent Winter's Tale last weekend because I really liked the book when I read it years ago, but they didn't have it on dvd and I haven't upgraded to a BluRay yet.
I'm feeling some of your remodel pain. The tile wall in our bathroom split at a seam so hubby is tearing it out to put in a tub surround. We have another bathroom, but not another shower so he's tearing out one wall a night and then cleaning it up so we can bathe (but no showers until he's done). We found out last night that we even have to replace the insulation because it was soaked through too. We get the sheetrock and tub surround on Friday so hopefully by the end of the weekend it'll be done. The we'll have to repaint the bathroom to seal any exposed sheetrock and make everything match. Ick.
It's the hot, humid days that'll get ya. We walked earlier in the day after the rain and it cooled off for like 10 minutes and then the moisture started to rise out of the ground. Ugh.
DeleteWinters Tale was far better than either of the ones we rented last night but everyone seems to hate that one too for some reason.
Ugh, the bathroom is the worst because it's the one room everyone uses regularly! Hopefully it's done soon for you guys!
Love the waterfalls! That looks so peaceful to walk and sit by. And the duckies are so stinking cute! We just rented Ride Along over the weekend and that was pretty funny. It wasn't knee-slapping funny, but for someone like me who doesn't have a good attention span, I watched the whole thing and enjoyed it. I heard someone at the store say that they rented Tammy and were so disappointed with it, so that kind of bummed me out. I thought about watching it, but the trailer didn't look that spectacular, so I took a pass.
ReplyDeleteYeah one lone duck further down thought we had food and came swimming up then saw the frenzy and flew over us to get to them. "Screw you people!"
DeleteI have no expectations for Tammy but I'm sure we'll rent it. I'll have to look up Ride Along.
