Weekend ramblings...

How can the weekend be over already? It never seems long enough...or short enough either at times. Brian and I enjoyed a rare treat on Saturday. We were able to go out alone! Yes, dear reader, I had one of those elusive but often spoken about "date nights" with my husband.

We went to see the film Knocked Up - finally! I think we might be the last two people on earth who hasn't already seen it. Hell, even my mother had seen it before us! I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. I am not a huge fan of "juvenile humor" per se, but since I expected it from this movie walking in, it seemed to allow me to enjoy it. I found many parts of the movie to be very real to life...and I enjoyed being "in" on the jokes. Brian thought it had it's moments, but I don't think he really liked it all that much.

The worst part of the movie was sitting in the same row as these three ladies who were literally old enough to be my mother and my two grandmas! I was really embarassed for them. I wanted to ask them if they were sure they wanted to be in this theatre. LOL Seriously, can you imagine going to see Knocked Up with your grandma? I think I would have loved this film had I not been so uneasy with the company.

We then tried to maintain our failing "hip" status by hussling down to Goodale Park to take in the art show going on there - only to discover it had closed for the evening (at 8PM!). I was so mad. Who closes down a show like that at 8PM on a Saturday night? So we ended up at Arbys and then fetched the kids from Mom's before she could get cranky.

For some strange reason I was really tired by the end of the night and wanted to hit the sack by 10PM. Still - I was determined not to be an old fuddy-duddy! So instead I asked Brian to stay up with me and finally watch Phonebooth which we have checked out from the library numerous times but never watched. Well...I should have gone to sleep! That movie was terrible! WTF! I heard so much good buzz about this stupid movie...and it had good actors, basically. If you took out all the swearing it could have been a Law & Order episode...except L&O is good - usually.

Today we took the kids to the family day event at the Wexner Center. They were exhibiting works by William Wegman - known mostly for his photography of Weimaraner dogs. I thought Brandon would love that since he loves dogs in general. It was a nice exhibit...though I wish there were more "dog" photos than his other works. The kids got to see some performance art and did some expressive dance too! Aren't we such hip parents to take our kids to this?! LOL

My mother was very kind to us and invited us to have dinner on Friday night. I was very happy about that because we had nothing to make anyhow - and I was too tired to mess with going to the store then making dinner. Afterward we went over to JD's place to walk her doggy, Peaches. She is such a good dog! I really want my own.

Otherwise, it was a typical weekend for us. We cleaned, shopped and tried to keep the kids from driving us batty. At least the weather was beautiful.
