so anyway

so much for pools/fun/sun - typical MN Memorial Day weekend - cloudy/cool. We did spend Mon by the pool anyway and actually got a little color through the BANK of clouds.

Saw 3 movies this weekend - Untraceable - There Will Be Blood and Baby Mama - I really enjoyed all 3.

The school year ends this week for Travis - then he is taking once class for summer school to catch up on credits - Geography - the session is just over 3 weeks long.

Zach is wrapping up his training so he can be a shift mgr at Potbelly Sandwiches - he really likes it. Hopefully that can stablize his income and he can get back in school part time.

I'm still on my shopping quais-moratorium and have been doing pretty good - it is hard though. I have all these great coupons etc burning holes in my purse!!!! I was going to go buy a little Coach makeup/coin bag witha sparkly dragonfly on it cuz I had a 25% off coupon - but convinced nmyself I didn't really need it - especially since gas is $4. But if anyone needs to buy me a gift for any reason :)

catchin up

So last night Carrie and I were supposed to go to Baby Mama at the theater but then her dogs were sickies so I decided to go hang at her place and watch movies/tv. I picked up Thai on the way - YUM!
We watched a ro-co (romantic comedy) and while I was reluctant at first, I actually liked it. We have a running "discussion" that C only watches ro-co's - at least when we go to the theater that is what she ALWAYS wants to see! And I like darker/sci-fi/indie/whatever more than ro-co. And C - yes I do know that you just watched some indies :) The movie had Paul Rudd whom I really like. And it was more of an indie type ro-co. Good music too.

Carrie dvr'd AI while we watched the movie so we were able to fast fwd through most - stopping here and there til the big reveal. I loved the Gladys Knight video with Ben Stiller, Jack Black and Robert Downey Jr as pips - it was hilarious and if I had a "list": Robert would be at the top. He is delicious.

I liked both Davids - preferred Cook and wanted him to win but yet not - I hope he doesn't get stuck with some dumb song they give him. Sometimes it is better to be 2nd and not have the year long committment to the show. They both have a chance to be very successful. I really thought little David was going to win.

Travi spent all his bday money on paintball stuff - hopefully he will get out now - he has some buddies interested in playing together. Took him to a gastro specialist yesterday - he has to take Prilosec for 3 months and then stop - if at that point he starts to get heartburn again, he starts back on the Prilo and goes in for an upper endoscopy.

This weekend - POOLS/SUN/FUN
