Jane, You Ignorant Slut

When I do posts on Monday, I always think of them in my mind as "weekend updates".  Then I think of that long time Saturday Night Live feature.  Then I think of Dan Akroyd and Jane Curtain doing Point/Counterpoint...and that awesome line.  So, there you go!

My weekend was great!  I had a really peaceful quiet day on Saturday.  I was kind of isolated, but I think I was ready for a break from humanity :-)  I did get my grocery shopping done for my Mother's Day lunch, but aside from that I watched tv and read a lot.  In the evening Girlie Girl and I got a pizza and watched Black Swan.  She had seen it before, but I hadn't.  I have to say, that after everything I'd heard about it...I don't know...I guess maybe I was expecting something else?  It was weird and I got that it was showing someone losing their mind...but I can't say I liked it all that much, honestly.  And I was underwhelmed by Natalie Portman, who won an Academy Award for this role.  Clearly this is just me though!  I know the vast majority of people appreciated this movie very much.


Girlie Girl and me. Our big faces are ready to watch a movie together.



Sunday was a wonderful day with the family.  I hosted a Mother's Day lunch at my place.  It was very simple to set up, as I'd decided just to put out sandwich fixings.  Don't be fooled though...it is actually a rather pricey choice, with all the different meat and cheese I wanted to include.  It was worth it though, as everyone loves a good sammich, and as I said the simplicity can't be beat!  WTG brought some beans and guacamole that he'd made and my ma-in-law brought desserts.   The kids all came, except for Secret Agent Man, who had to work.  We all just ate and visited together.  It was lovely.  We started at noon and most everyone had gone by 4 pm.  After that, Girlie Girl and Handsome Lad went off on a hike together while I finished tidying up.   When they came back, we had some more sandwiches for dinner.

I hope that you all had a nice weekend as well.  At this point I've almost gotten through Monday even, and so far can't complain too much.  Should be smooooth sailing for the rest of the week.  Should be.  Yeah.

Oh!  And I know how busy 3GirlKnight is at the moment, so I hope no one minds that I just appointed myself work picker for this week.  The word is....FRUIT.  Dig it.
