I'm still trying to figure out what happened in this movie.  I think maybe I'm not smart enough to get it.  I did find it somewhat interesting, but Jon hated it.  Overall, it's just....eh.

2. The Royal Wedding...

Like I said last week, I'm not someone who usually gets into celebrity worship of any kind, but I couldn't resist this one.  The little girl in me wouldn't have it.  I enjoyed seeing the production of it all, I mean, who doesn't love a good wedding?  My favorite part:  the glances the couple gave eachother during the ceremony.

3. Strawberry Freeze...

I made this dessert for small group last night.  It was pretty good, if I do say so myself!  The only complaints:  1. It softens really fast!  The 15 minutes for softening called for in the recipe should be more like 5.  And, 2. the cookie crust was super hard.  {This might be partly my fault, as we used chewy chips ahoy instead of regular.  Jon wanted chewy.  I think the regular might soak up the filling and work better, instead of just freezing into solid blocks.}  I'd definitely make it again though!

Other than the above, my weekend was lovely.  We had some beers with the neighbors {new and old}on Friday night.  {Have I told you how much I love where I live?}  Got to spend some time with my dad while Jon worked on his truck on Saturday.  Crossed some things off our to-do list, and spent time with friends.  I even picked up the house a bit.  {I feel like I can breathe again as every surface isn't covered in random junk now.}

How was your weekend?  What's the best thing that happened?
