Saturday was a crazy day. Not in a bad way though. It started out with a 3.5 mi. walk with Allison. The weather was great & it wasn't too unbearably hot. After the walk it was home to shower & get dressed. I was meeting Allison, Wendy & Jennifer at the movies to see Something Borrowed. I love Emily Giffins books but the Something Borrowed/Something Blue series is my favorite. We've been waiting for this movie to come out for a really long time. On the way to the movies I stopped & picked up Mother's Day gifts. Yes, I know I waited until the last minute but I've known what I was getting & I knew that the stores were on my way to the movies. The movie was great!! It's been several years since I read the book so I don't remember everything that happened but the movie seemed to follow the book really well. I plan to read it again soon. I generally like to see the movie before I read the book. That way I'm not disappointed in either. I definitely recommend the movie. Even if you haven't read the book it's great. I hope Something Blue comes out fairly quickly. After the movie I was off to the mall to pick up a graduation gift. Then I headed to Vicki's house for our book club get together. As usual there was tons of good food. I tried to refrain but the little pinwheels get me every time. Then Vicki made this blackberry cobbler stuff that was really good & she had cake balls. I thought I'd be able to resist the cake balls. They seem to be all the rage around here & to me they're just ok. Well, someone was eating a chocolate one & she commented that they weren't like cake balls she'd had before & that there was a lot of icing. Here we go. I have a thing about icing. I LOVE IT! I can't ever have too much. Now, not just any icing. Butter cream icing is THE BEST! If I go somewhere that has cake & it has that whipped icing I'm really disappointed. Vicki bought chocolate ones & "white" ones at the bakery. I tried a white one. O.M.G.!!!!! It was like a little ball of wedding cake! ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!!!! I ended up having 2. That doesn't bode well for losing that pound I gained last week but I couldn't help it. As usual we spent more time talking about other stuff than we did talking about books! HA! We spent a lot of time demonstrating Yogalates moves & talking about the movie.
Toodles!
Sounds like a great weekend!!
ReplyDeleteI want to see that movie now:)
Now, I am off to google Yogalates!
Traci, I have already splained to you that the pound you gained was nothing but fluid! Well, that is what I always say mine is anyway. Now all of that "fluid" is preventing me from getting into my clothes. I am having problems with my waist line REALLY BAD! I use to could skip a meal or two, and everything would snap back into shape, but this fluid thing is getting serious since I crossed the 40 mark. So glad you had a great week-end.
ReplyDeleteMmmm...now all I can think about is icing. I want some now!!!!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a fun and busy weekend! Have a great day!!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a nice time with your girlfriends, Traci. The cake balls sounded so delicious and I'll definitely order the move from Netflix....Christine
ReplyDeleteOh, I am so a last minute shopper when it comes to gifts! I hate it b/c then I feel rushed & am usually stuffing tissue paper in my gift bag on the way to wherever I'm going!! But on the other hand, when I buy early I usually end up giving it early, too! LOL - can't win!!
ReplyDeleteAnd I've heard great things about this movie - can't wait to see it. But I can't watch a movie before reading the book - I have to read the book first, otherwise, I know I won't read it. But I know what you mean about getting disappointed then...
I'm the opposite on the book/movie thing - gotta read the book first and the movie MUST measure up to the book or it's just not as good. But that's just me.
ReplyDeleteYou cracked me up with the icing discussion!!! Love it!!!
