Eventful Weekend

DH's sister, S, is here this weekend visiting from Vancouver. Whenever she is here we go on a date, so Friday night we went out for dinner and a movie. We went for dinner at a place called Van Gogh's, which has awesome Greek and Italian food. I had been craving Greek all day as I ran around town doing errands, so as supper plans were a surprise to me it was a good thing that I didn't give in to the craving and get some. DH apparently knew exactly what the babies and I needed. We then went to "The Bucket List" afterward, which was really good, though I did find it a little depressing and had dreams of people dying all night, random people I didn't know, not family or friends. I was a little perturbed about the fact that I really wanted to see "Fool's Gold" as it had some romance in it and it was a date that we were on and I didn't feel like "The Bucket List" though I did want to see it sometime and DH wouldn't consider it. Then, as the previews were playing and there was one for "Fool's Gold" I leaned over to DH and said "That was the movie I wanted to see" and he replied, "Oh, I was just thinking that I wouldn't mind seeing it." Aargh! Men! Anyways, "The Bucket List" was good and thought provoking and I enjoyed it and spending time with my honey.
When I suggested that S and I go to "27 Dresses" last night, DH was all for it! I really wanted to see this one, though knew DH wouldn't enjoy it at all, so we girls went together. I loved it! I am such a sap when it comes to romantic comedies and I really like Katherine Heigl. Did you know that in addition to being in Grey's Anatomy, she used to be on Roswell, both playing a character named Isabel? At least that's where I first saw her. Anyways, beside the point. I really liked "27 Dresses" and would definitely watch it again.
This afternoon DH and I went to Riverdance - the Farewell Tour. It was awesome! Incredible! Wow, it is amazing what those people can do. They not only had Irish dancing, that was wonderful, but a flamenco dancer, Russian dancers and 2 jazz style tap dancers. They had the band playing Irish music and singers as well that were so good. We enjoyed it so much!
Not to complain after all my entertainment this weekend, but my butt and back and legs are a little sore from spending over 6 hours in total in a theatre seat. The only downside to all my spoiling!

Wow, sounds like a lot of fun was had by all. I'd been thinking about going to see 27 dresses, I'll have to find someone to go with. I watched "Waitress" and "September Dawn" last night (they're rentals) but sadly both were kind of lousy and I'm still wanting to see a good movie soon.

Hopefully I'll see you soon-end of March!

love to all in your home,
