This Weekend I...

This weekend, I...

...waited for it to snow.  We were supposed to get piles and piles of snow beginning on Thursday afternoon/evening.
Instead, we got a flood.
FINALLY around 10pm on Thursday night, it started to snow!   So, Donny and I went out and played in it for a bit. And thank goodness we did.
Because by the time I got up on Friday morning, it was almost all gone!  Or, rather, we didn't get very much at all. Boo.  So, I had to go to court, where I spent what felt like an eternity trying to resolve my three cases.  
... I did leave work around lunchtime since Donny was off work, and we got to spend the afternoon together.  We test drove a truck (since he is in desperate need of a new vehicle) and then went to see Zero Dark Thirty.  It turned out to be nothing at all like I thought it would be, and so much better.  The movie may have been perfect if anyone other than Jessica Chastain played the main character.  I was absolutely NOT a fan of her.  But the movie itself was really great.  I highly recommend it!
... I watched A LOT of the Barrett-Jackson auto auctions.  Donny is a big classic car lover, so this was on our TV all weekend long.  In a possibly related note, I managed to finish one book and get almost halfway through another this weekend... :)  
... I also read a lot on the kindle this weekend, since I was able to get a digital copy of the book I wanted from the library long before I made it to the top of the queue for the paper version.  I must say that I don't love it nearly as much as real books, although it is very convenient.

... I went from one extreme to the other with my food decisions.
 
... And I became an aunt for the first time!!  Donny's stepsister had a baby girl on Sunday, and I can't wait to meet little miss Layla next month!  (Now that I think about it, he has other nieces and nephews, so I guess this isn't my first niece/nephew, but it's the first one that I've actually known the parent when they had the baby, so I'm counting it as the first.)

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!  :)

  1. I've been wondering if Zero Dark Thirty was worth the hype!

    By the way, what books are you reading?

  2. I want to see Zero Dark Thirty, but the timing didn't work out with our schedule yesterday so we saw Silver Linings Playbook (in which everybody said it was amazing but I was underwhelmed).

    Glad you got some snow, albeit a tiny amount!
