Anywho, Easter was ok. Cheryl called on Saturday to invite us down there for lunch after my dad apparently read my previous post and saw we weren't doing anything. Adam planned a day of golf and ribs so we opted out. Too bad since they were going to be playing games and such. Adam's family is not into games too much. They play cards, but nothing like the wild and crazy times we had in my family. It could get downright violent when we played Pit. Anyway, I went to church to play bells. Spent the afternoon alternating between watching golf in the living room and doing other things around the house. Dinner was great.
The week was nothing too interesting. I didn't have bell practice on Monday so we did some shopping and went out to dinner instead. Friday I was up at 4am and picked up by 5 to get to Rockford for the IMA regional leadership training seminar. It was a good day. Good speakers, a great breakout session. It was fun to meet and speak with reps from other chapters. It's discouraging that we all seem to have the same declining attendance problem, but was good to brainstorm with a larger group. I got back home later than I anticipated and was ready for bed almost immediately.
Yesterday we did our usual shopping and then caught an early movie, Observe and Report. Not your usual Seth Rogan comedy. Not really too much a comedy at all actually. Yes, there are definitely some funny parts, but in the end it just makes you uncomfortable in some respect about police and gun control. After stopping at Sam's we came back home and caught up on some DVR shows. Dinner. Bed.
This morning we watched Slumdog Millionaire. I had talked with some ladies at the conference on Friday about it so I was looking forward to seeing it. That said, I'm not sure it really should have won all those awards. I haven't seen all the movies on the list yet, but I don't know that this would be my favorite. It has a good plot, good acting, interesting music. I don't know. Just something off for me. But it was a good movie. I guess that's what matters. The fact that the climax involved Dumas (one of my favorites - I even read The Three Muskateers in French!) was kind of a bonus as well. (Hmm, hopefully that's not a spoiler. Wasn't meant to be.)
After that we went shopping again. This time for clothes. JC Penney had some good sales and we also managed to hit their family and friends 20% off event day as well. Sweet. I found some shirts and Adam discovered they have a big and tall section. We also stopped at Catherine's (a store) and I found a dress for Catherine's (the roommate) wedding. The rest of the afternoon was spent zonked in front of the TV. Adam made another good dinner and now I'm catching up online. A little. Or at least trying to.
Adam also reminded me that I forgot to post a picture of the shed and new trees out back:
A bit of irony this weekend on that subject. The shed in the neighbor's yard that we got the trees to block? They knocked it down. Ha.
Also spotted this weekend?
A cute bunny! Let me tell you, the cats are loving spring!
