Had a super fun weekend. Got to hang out with some long time friends (note I did not call them OLD FRIENDS).
Went riding (which I have not done in at least 20 years and my arse is paying for it today, but it was totally worth it):
I LOVED this movie. I would actually go see it again. I like Kristen Wiig. I never saw her on SNL, so my first introduction to her was in Bridesmaids. This has a similar feel, though the humor is less ...I don't know....low brow.... and there's a more developed family story that is very poignant. I give it two thumbs up.
Seriously, it was kind of a perfect weekend since it contained almost all of the crucial "good weekend elements" -- a run, nice drive, friends, nap, movie, dinner, margaritas, sleeping in, outdoor activities, catching up, much laughter, and then home to a meal I did not have to prepare myself! The only possible element missing was saltwater, but still, I give it a 10! YAY!
I leave Sunday for vacation. I have not had a real vacation (ie, one that was not just a long weekend tacked on to the end of work travel) since last Fall (Paris!) so I am very much looking forward to the break.
I need more vacations. Must give this some thought.

We are piglet sitting our second runt, and we have seriously bonded with this little guy "Bean the Wonder Pig" which is a bummer because he has to go home on Wednesday. For some reason I cannot upload his photo here, which is irritating, because he is super cute. Later.
Went to see a movie (yes, like, in a theatre, which I haven't done in aeons), Girl Most Likely. http://girlmostlikelymovie.com/?source=gaw
