A Lazy Weekend

Scrapbooked this weekend at Memory Bound with a couple of my friends and had a good time! I got 9 pages completed...Yoo Yoo!, had lunch at Palmer's Deli (I'm addicted to their spinner salads) and talked my head off with Gina and Joellyn. Jenni E. stopped by to see us and have lunch and it was good to see her.

Scrapbooking for 12 hours must have taken it's toll on me, because Sunday, I was a worthless excuse for a wife and mom...lol! I got the grocery shopping done, but that's it. I was pooped and I did nothing but lay around and watch movies.

Finally had the time to watch The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and LOVED IT! I've always loved Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett is one of my favorite actresses, but the "look" and "feel" and story of this movie is sublime! No wonder it won the Academy Award for Art Direction.

I also watched a little known true story movie from 2008 starring Alan Rickman, Bill Pullman, Chris Pine (for all you Star Trek fans) and Freddy Rodriguez (from Six Feet Under fame) called Bottle Shock. It takes place in 1976 when California wines beat French wines in an international blind taste testing event for the first time and put Napa Valley on the international map. The Chardonnay from Chateau Montelena now sits in the Smithsonium. If you're looking for a feel good movie to watch, this is it!

4 more working days to go before vacation!

I scrapped on Saturday evening. I only got two pages done. I just put them on my blog.

The Brad Pitt movie - - I had issues with it. I guess it didn't "click" for me. I always adore looking at him. There was just something about the movie that freaked me out. Now, there were parts that I thought were extremely well done. I don't know. Just not my style I guess.

Yay for the upcoming vacation!!!
