weekend tidbits

Yesterday was a cold day. Busy and cold. In between us and our neighbor is two acres of wooded land. At the edge of our yard and this wooded lot, there were two dead trees that we'd cut down back before Christmas.

So yesterday was our wood splitting party. Strange idea for a party, I know, but we had a blast anyway. We had lots of people here-friends and family. I made two massive pans of lasagne, garlic bread and salad for lunch and of course the coffee pot was going all day long. My son insisted on making his 'walk to you when you whistle' coffee. Boy was it strong...lol. But it kept everyone warm and that's all that mattered, I suppose, considering it was 22 degrees as the high.

I have no idea how many ricks of wood we ended up with, but there's still more of the trees left to cut. I think what we've cut will last till spring, so the next wood splitting party will be when the weather is warmer. They were pretty big trees...:)

After dinner, we all took a break and watched, Journey to the Center of the Earth. Save your money, really. Brandon Fraser was cute as always, but the movie itself just wasn't that good. Kind of lame, actually.

One movie that is good, surprisingly, was Paul Blart, Mall Cop. I got talked into that one by my husband and daughter when we were in town doing some shopping. I'm usually a guy movie kind of girl, but this one was actually cute and I laughed out loud several times. Two very enthusiastic thumbs up--worth the matinee price...:)
