UPDATED - Labor Day Weekend!

We had a busy but fun Labor Day Weekend!!!  Here is a little briefing on what we all did (i only got a couple of pics)...........

Thursday night I started subbing for the Ladies Bowling League, and let me tell you that was a good way to start the weekend.  Although I didn't want to get up Friday for work I still had too!  Anyways, there is 2 other girls on my team, one of which is my age and really good friends with.  I surprisingly did really good, and anyone that has bowled or watched me bowl knows I'm not very good!  The only time I'm good is if I've a few (or more!) beers to drink!  I can't remember what my scores were, I just know I did awesome (for me!).  I don't have any funny stories about me falling into the gutter or halfway down the lane (I'm known to do stuff like that), but the season just started and goes until April!!  We also watched D's parents dog while they went to Vegas....Bernie and Misty are BFF's!!!

Bernie & Misty checking out something going on outside!

Friday night after work, D and I headed to Hays for a much needed date night!  We went to Professors Steak House & Saloon for supper.  We drank a couple of beers and had some yummy food!  I had Chicken Fried Steak, and D had some kind of Grilled Chicken. 

Coors Light (for me!) and some kind of brew from Manhattan KS that tasted like coffee!

After supper we went to the movies; we saw "The Other Guys".  It was actually pretty funny...kind of long, but had some really funny parts in it.  It has Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg as the main characters, always acting like they are Bad A police detectives.  One of the funny quotes of the movie was when Mark Wahlberg kept saying "I'm like a peacock, you gotta let me fly!"  I would totally watch it again!  After the movie we went grocery shopping and home we went.

Saturday we did stuff around the house and decided we had enough of that, and went to the lake with some friends.  They have a pontoon boat, so that was fun!  Although it took us 2 hours to get on the lake, it was worth it.  When we went to load up the boat, we came up on a half sunken little speed boat by the boat ramp.  Low and behold it was a bunch of dumb college boys that had no clue what they were doing.  When we pulled up they were just standing around drinking beer and starring at the boat.  We heard a ton of different stories about how it happend, clearly they were trying to cover their ass just in case the Park Rangers showed up.  The best quote was "this is my boat....MY DAD IS GOING TO KILL ME!!!!!!!"  I wish I had taken pictures...maybe the girl we went with got some....if so I'll be sure to share.  Boys.are.dumb. :)

Sunday my Mom, Grandparents, Brother, and his girl came to check out the house and we cooked them some delicious lunch.  Grilled Chicken w/ BBQ sauce, Bacon crumbles, and mozzarella cheese (yummy), fresh green beans, baked potatoes, corn dip (thanks to Ashley), and cherry pie (thanks to Grandma)!  It was really nice to see them, and they really liked our house.  I love my family!!  After they left we decided to go over to the pool party, which is always a BLAST!!  We had beer bongs, wine, beer, watermelon, bbq, tons of other food, and so much fun!!  Sun + Water + Beer (not always in that order) = always a fun time!

Monday was our day off from work since it was Labor Day, and we did a whole bunch of nothing!  We watched Rehab Resort Las Vegas all day (marathon), sat on the couch, and snacked!  We also watched a movie "The Edge of Darkness".  It has Mel Gibson and a bunch of other actors i'm not sure who they were.  It was a really good movie, kept me on my toes that's for sure!  All-in- all it was an awesome day to do absolutely nothing!

I hope you all had a fun weekend!!! :)

The Last Song : Review

{Most} Wednesday nights, D goes downtown and plays poker with a bunch of the locals, which is something he and I both look forward too!  He gets to play poker and I get to catch up on my DVR'd shows and/or watch chick flicks!!  (I usually get some cleaning done too, but that's not the "fun" part!)  So lastnight Bernie and I kicked up our feet and relaxed a little!

and yes I <3 my dog, you'll be hearing a lot about him!

<<<if you haven't seen this movie yet, this might spoil it for you>>>



Lastnight I watched "The Last Song" starring Miley Cirus.  I first saw the trailer for this movie when I went to see "Dear John" in  theater, and I cringed at the thought of Miley being in the movie!  It looked like a really good chick flick, but I wasn't excited about her being in it!


 By the way, Dear John was a really great movie!  If you haven't seen it, definetely check it out!  Channing Tatum is so hott!!! :)


Anyways, getting back to "The Last Song", overall it was a good movie.  It wasn't great, but it was umm...good.  On a scale from 1-10 (10 being the best), I would probably give it a 6.5.  I think my favorite character in the movie was the little brother; he was so cute and funny!  I also liked the little love story that went on throughout the whole movie with "Ronie" and "Will".  I also loved the little baby turtles, and how "Ronie" looked after them each night!  It was really cute!  I did tear up a few times, it was really sad towards the end of the movie.  It just really makes you think.

My dislikes of the movie were: Miley's laugh really annoyed me and I hated how "Ronie" treated her dad in the beginning.  I knew something was wrong with the dad when they were talking about the church burning down and how confused he was from the medicine, so why didn't she take further action then?!?!  She was so wrapped up in her own life of being unhappy due to the fact her parents got a divorce.....that really made me want to smack her!  How can someone be so cruel and cold to another person, especially if they are family?  (i know, i know, it's just a movie!!!)   Sorry about my little rant, but that's all I really have to say about the movie.  I'm not sure I'd buy it on DVD, or watch it again...it was an ok movie though.

What did you think about the movie?  Has anyone read the book, is it better than the movie?

On a side note: It really makes me realize that life is too short, and that you need to tell your family and friends that you love them as much as possible!
