Holiday Weekend

We had a nice relaxing weekend with some good weather. It’s raining and cool outside right now and we’re under yet another thunderstorm warning. I watched Twister last time it stormed and this time I’m watching The Wizard of Oz.

On Friday, mom took the day off from work so we could paint an accent wall in her bedroom. She had never painted before but caught on quick and did the majority of the work by herself. I did the tedious trim and cut in work which is never fun but it looks really good now. It’s amazing that with a good brush how well I can do the cut in without taping. Mom is talking about painting the guest bath so more painting may be on the agenda soon. For dinner we all went to Jason’s Deli which has a great French Onion soup and salad bar and they have free soft serve ice cream! It’s a little pricey for a deli but great food.

Saturday we celebrated our SIXTH anniversary. We went out to dinner with my parents to the Melting Pot for some tasty fondue! We had the Lobster indulgence and dark chocolate with Kahlua for dessert. Yum! We were considering trying the locally owned fondue restaurant, the Mona Lisa, but after hearing a couple of reviews from family and friends decided to go with what we knew. When we came home we enjoyed a bottle of Moet & Chandon Rose and watched Deja Vu. The movie was surprisingly entertaining and we watched the entire thing. It was kind of drawn out in parts but worth a rental.

Then Sunday, we had an early BBQ for Memorial Day at my parents house. Casey grilled up some tasty ribs and cilantro pesto chicken and pork chops. It was all so good and we left full and sleepy. When we got home we watched An Inconvenient Truth. While I already believe in global warming, the movie was pretty enlightening by having all the statistics in the same place. It’s my opinion that the movie and subsequently the casuse, could get a lot more awareness if Al Gore wasn’t the talking head. While Gore comes across as knowledgable and passionate about global warming, he’s not the most eloquent man.

We didn’t end up making it to the theater to watch any of the “thirds” (Spider-Man, Shrek, or Pirates) that are out. Yesterday we finished catching up on House Season 1 (we caught up on House Season 2 as well). We’re still hoping that there will be reruns on this summer so we’ll be all caught up for fall. Now to catch up on TiVo till our newest Netflix movies come in.
