8:00 AM - I got to sleep in till 8!! And i rolled out of bed and onto my yoga mat.
9:00 AM - I made myself some coffee while I got started onto some early morning crafting!
11:00AM - I didn't get done until about 2 hours later and then continued with some chores like sweeping and cleaning the bathroom.
12:00PM - We haven't got our washer and dryer yet so we drove to J's parents' to do our laundry!
1:00PM - While a load was in the wash, we trudged outside to do some mushroom foraging.
2:00PM - We trekked over to see the neighbor's (very friendly) cow. Poor sod, she is always so happy to see us, I suspect she is really lonely. She bellows real loud when she sees us coming, and bellows again when we leave.
4:00PM - The laundry didn't get done till now, and then we drove home.

5:00PM - It started to pour, but we were getting ready for our movie night out! J was going to see Underworld with his dad and brother while my friends and I got tickets for Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close.

6:00PM - It was growing darker by the minute and still pouring. Even so, Birkdale is a pretty place at night! There were only parallel parking lots available. I aced the parking bit, even though I held up the traffic for a good while.

9:00PM - After we cried buckets, the movie ended. I got home and read a bad review about the movie here. Didn't think it was very fair, but certainly spot on about Hanks and Bullocks' non-contribution, as well as stellar performance by Von Sydow. I still think it's an ok watch, certainly a standard Hollywood tear-jerker.
Hope you had a productive weekend like I did!
what a great idea to watch movies with other people. i always feel like i'm dragged to movies with the family.
ReplyDeleteyou're making me dread motherhood haha!
DeleteSounds like a great day! And also typical to a lot of my weekends haha. I really want to see Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close...I try not to read reviews beforehand, in case they sway me on my want to see the film ^^
ReplyDeletewow! you must be super disciplined and productive! *salute*
DeleteSounds like a great day! Love the photos!
ReplyDeletexx, C
Thanks Catherine!
DeleteWow what a great day. I want to see that movie too but will probably wait until it is on DVD, as usual.

Thanks nana Glo! I am so in love with embroidery now. It's so much fun!
DeleteYay for fun and productive days!
ReplyDeleteThat's so inspiring you do yoga in the morning.
I definitely need to do this.
I can only do yoga in the mornings. I get too distracted later on in the day.
DeleteYou had a great weekend! So glad for you. I'm dying to go out and catch a movie,... maybe next weekend...
ReplyDeleteDon't watch this one if you're in a mood for something light hearted!
ReplyDeletewell you've been busy!
ReplyDeleteahhh, i don't want to watch that movie >_<
(only because i can already tell it's going
to make me cry)
<3
Oh gosh, i started crying like 1/3 into the movie... bring lots of tissue!
DeleteSo much to say...first, where's Birkdale? Second, I didn't know you could find edible mushrooms in NC and third, What a sweet cow!! I've been wanting to see that movie. I generally don't read the critics and have my own opinion about movies, just because I rarely agree with them. By the way, I love yoga, but can't imagine rolling out of bed to do it...must have my coffee first!
ReplyDeleteHope you are having a good week:0)

Hi Angela!
DeleteWell Birkdale Village is like a cute little shopping area in the town of Huntersville, where I currently live. You can find edible mushrooms almost everywhere if you know what you find. There's a mushroom man who scours the Biltmore Estates for edible mushrooms to sell to restaurants!
Have a great weekend!
wait, you neighbours have a cow? That is so much cooler than a cat or a dog! I hadn't heard of this movie before and maybe I'll watch it now! :) x
ReplyDeletei think they might be rearing it for food... i'm not exactly looking forward to that day.
