Blogger just finally let me on this evening, but it's late enough that I honestly couldn't do justice to my time in Spokane or Rob's time here (now we're even!), which are my next two posts.
So I'll fill you in on this week. I have four dates with four good friends (none at the same time - apparently I like to keep my friends to myself?), and a fifth with a couple. Brian will take Blake, and I will give Beth a pedicure. She's about eleven months pregnant and can barely see her toes, much less reach them, so I'm pitching in. I'm making two batches of chokecherry jelly tomorrow because I just have to get these things out of my freezer. I'm also exercising after about two weeks off. I'm hoping to reclaim a little of my sanity and rest, to make at least two decent dinners, to get caught up on all the water I haven't been drinking, to watch a movie, and to finish a few magazines (dare I hope to touch a book?).
I got to see three movies this weekend. One was good (What Happens in Vegas) and rather funny. One was very good (Iron Man) and unexpectedly funny. One was excellent (Run Fatboy Run) and made me cry, I laughed so hard. I have now done this twice in front of Rob (laughed 'til I cried), so I don't think he understands how rare that is. Also, all of the above are pretty clean, so I could recommend them all to my mother. That NEVER happens, and my parents have lost all faith in my taste in movies after watching the following on my recommendation:
I'm sure there are more, but those are the ones that come to mind. I will note, however, that despite my father despising Adam Sandler, he did like Spanglish (because everyone does the right thing). I'm not sure what to say... I have erratic (awesome) taste in movies?

Boondock is one of my favorite movies! Especially when they shoot the cat! ha ha ha But it is pretty sacrilegious...
I have Run fatboy Run in my queue next up. But I loved Hot Fuzz, and How to Lose Friends and Alienate People, also with Simon Pegg.
"You see my point?"
"That's ALL I can see."
ha ha ha ha ha!!! We've been watching clips of "Fatboy" on YouTube for the last few days... I could totally own that movie and watch it over and over.
ehhhh... i could take or leave fatboy. i thought it was funny, but i'm not that much of a british comedy sort of a gal.
then again, i'm glad you liked vegas. whose recommendation was that :)???
It was YOU, t. All you on Vegas... even if you aren't a British comedy sort of gal.
And I should qualify: I didn't love all the movies I recommended, but I thought all of them were good. I actually own Boondock Saints and Spanglish, because I did, in fact, love those. I might be picking up all three of the ones I watched this weekend, because I could easily see me happily watching them repeatedly.
Well here goes, I picked up Run Fat Boy Run yesterday at Hastings. Your father told me to preview it before I called him to watch it. Soooo what does that say about your history, Adele. Still waiting for the phone call. Mom
I loved Run Fat Boy Run!! And so did Chad which is rare becaue he is picky!! We also made the huge mistake of renting the Zohan...I know, I know...the 20 minutes of it we watched was almost torture. Spare yourself and never rent it!
I'd pick crying over peeing... just a thought.
I loved Vegas and hated Zohan also. Forgetting Sarah Marshall was also funny, but not clean enough for mom to watch... sorry mom :(
try Baby Mama, not hilarious but a couple funny parts that are worth it to watch.
