Rain Rain, Go Away…oh wait

Having never received rain, I am moving on. When it does happen you can be sure I will post it here.

Holly and I have had a great weekend. I had original plans to make a marathon trip to West Texas to pick up a dining table we purchased in Amarillo. It turned out to be a bad idea and so the day off I had planed for Friday fell through. Well Holly is on ‘Summer Hours’ and works longer days to get half a day off on Fridays. I decided that it would be fun for us to spend the afternoon together and I also took Friday afternoon off.

It has been a really long time since we have been to the movies. First off they are freakin’ too expensive. Who wants to pay $8-$9 bucks a piece for a movie? NOT ME. I am too cheap. So friends of ours have been telling us about a cheap, but good, movie theater close to our house. Turns out it is $2.75 a piece before 6pm for first run movies. SCORE!

We went to see Cars. Well I screwed up the start time and we missed the beginning by ten minutes. So we opted to see You, Me and Dupree. It was a pretty cute movie, albeit predictable. On our way out the door to the car Holly looked at me and said, you know it is only 30 minutes until Cars starts again. So we stayed for a double feature. We loved Cars. It was a very fun and adult oriented movie.

Saturday, with no rain in sight, we slept in and had plans to have friends over that we hadn’t seen in some time. We ate Holly’s famous Enchilada Casserole and had a fiesta. We played a round of Settler’s of Catan (a very fun and long game) and we lost again. Freakin’ Kolb’s always win, Seth you readin’ this?

The Kolb’s left so the rest of us could have a chance and the Seabourns stuck around for a game of Hand and Foot. It was girls vs. guys and the guys were ahead by 700 points going into the final round. Now if you know Hand and Foot (and if you do you earn bonus points) then you know that 700 points is nothing. The girls won the final hand and beat the guys by less than 300 points. That is nothing more than going out first in this game. It was a lot of fun.

Sunday was church, cleaning and napping. It was a good long nap too! Much needed, if you ask us.

Now for the rest of the week…I think there is rain in the forcast.

He's leaving out that I had to BEG him to stay for a second movie. Come on, we're young, free for the day and its cheap. Why not? They were both good flicks.
It was a great weekend! Hope you all had one too!

I agree that movies are way too expensive. You're not cheap - Ravinia lawn seats are $10 a pop, and you get a much better experience than a movie. You also get to bring your own snacks.

Hooray for finding a cheap movie place, though. There used to be one not too far from us, but now it shows first run stuff and is more expensive again.

The thing that stinks about going to the movies is that you pay an arm and a leg, and get to listen to people talk the whole time, and then when you fall asleep (like I do), you feel like you've wasted your money. Movies at home rock!!!

How in the world do you fall asleep in a movie theater Trey? Maybe you have that thing like Justin where if you're tired enough you fall asleep anywhere, although he has gotten better since we're out of college.
I agree with Andy- bring on the cuddling!

Yes...I can fall asleep just about anywhere it seems.

Of course, part of that has to do with the fact that most movies that come out today aren't good enough to keep my attention.
