The Weekend Refresher: 02/05/12-02/10/12
I would have surely completed The Weekend Refresher yesterday – on Saturday as usual. However, I found myself tied up in the making of Sinful Cinnamon Rolls from my new The Unofficial Hunger Games Cookbook. That’s right-there’s a cookbook! I didn’t remember there being a whole cookbook’s worth of food noted in the series…but the proof is in the pages! Here’s what it looks like:
Crazy. There will be a post about the book AND the cinnamon rolls soon, I assure you. But, the point is, is that I’m glad that it was a winter wonderland outside yesterday and I didn’t have to be anywhere until the evening, because starting this cinnamon roll making-from-scratch project took every bit of three to four hours (active and inactive). I had never made cinnamon rolls from scratch before – the most you’d ever have seen from me in the way of Saturday cinnamon rolls came in the tube from Pillsbury! I was very empowered and blown away by their deliciousness!
On Saturday afternoons I can usually write The Weekend Refresher (if I didn’t get to it first thing already that morning) during quiet time. However, our quiet time yesterday was filled watching Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back. This has become a Saturday trend it seems, as we watched A New Hope last Saturday. These are the boys’ first time watching the Star Wars movies and it is quite successful so far! I’m amazed by how much they already know about the story line and characters by what Lego has provided through their products.
I’m not actually known to write The Weekend Refresher on a Saturday evening, so last night was no exception. Chris and I found ourselves enjoying the comedy of Don Barnhart at Looney’s Comedy Corner with friends. This guy was very funny and specialized in hypnosis. This was something I had never seen before and it was quite an interesting experience. Five people all under hypnosis performing silly acts of singing Celine Dion, sporting their best muscle poses, and reacting to being on a swelteringly hot deserted island…oh there’s more…but maybe you get the idea.
This all leads me here. Sunday morning and finally writing The Weekend Refresher. It’s still technically accurate as it is, in fact, still the weekend. Let’s get to it, shall we? If you missed something last week, look no further than right down there!

The Force is Strong Up In Here!
Sorry, no Sunday Dinner Idea last week. But we did have a great time watching Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope with the boys for their first time on Saturday! This is an account of their reactions to it!

What constitutes growing up? Figuring out what else is out there for me to do after my kids grow up? Am I grown up now?
