Celebration Weekend Recap
It's Monday again. How do they keep coming faster? Did you get a lot done this weekend or spend it getting into mischief? We started off the weekend right with a Friday night viewing of Spaceballs to honor the newly released news of Spaceballs 2 . It was kind of funny because all I could hear during the movie were the times my dad laughed at certain parts when we went to see it in theaters. I'm glad I have a few good memories like that of him. Several weeks ago, the Mr saw some travel article about an old school donut shop he wanted to go to sometime. (We're suckers for the old school places over the decorate a crappy cake donut places.) This was how he wanted to celebrate his well earned victory on his test last Thursday. We were on the road pretty early. I knew it was supposed to rain in the morning but we didn't care for the dubious looking clouds. It went from ominous to sheeting rain: It got to 5 ft visibility at one poin...
I felt the same way about Dirty Dancing. I had no desire to see it when it first came out because it was all everyone was talking about and I actually got kind of tired of hearing about it. I didn't see it until I was in my 20's and then I realized why people liked it so much. I am not surprised it is still considered a classic today.
ReplyDeleteAs a kid I did not like A Christmas Story or Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. As an adult, I really listened to the subtleties with the humor (especially with the wonderful narrator, Jean Shepherd in A Christmas Story) and appreciated it so much more. Christmas Vacation is always good for a laugh and being the hockey fan I am, years ago I bought me and the hubs Griswold hockey jerseys and we'd go to the games with our little moose cups at Christmastime.
