Picture-less Monday

Good morning everyone! I took zero pictures this weekend. I hate posting without pictures so you’ll just have to bare with me. On Saturday the husband and I went tubing down a river with friends. I really wanted to bring my camera but the husband was worried it might get ruined. He was probably right. We floated down a river and were all tied together. Just picture me in a big floppy hat and sunglasses floating around in a huge tube. Priceless. The trip was almost 5 hours, so needless to say afterwards we were exhausted. The husband went to bed (maybe the fact that we drank for almost 5 hours had something to do with that) and I watched The Last Song. So not as good as the book (by Nicholas Sparks), but somehow I still managed to cry!
I also finished reading The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. Go get this book right now. You’ll thank me later. It was so amazing! I usually get my books from the library, however, when I went to reserve the second book in the series, Catching Fire, there were 50 holds on it. Dang! So I broke down and ordered it and the third book, Mockingjay which comes out tomorrow, off of Amazon. I hope they arrive soon! I’m obsessed and need to know what happens next!
On Sunday the husband and I went to Costco. I heart Costco. Then I made some ridiculously yummy homemade macaroni and cheese, did some laundry, and then we watched the move Kick Ass…which was surprisingly funny and stupid at the same time
 I hope your weekend was great!

    I love floating down the river– it is just so relaxing!! I've never heard of those books before, but I wrote them down to look up!!

    Everyone I know in TX is obsessed with floating the river… I've never participated in it. Some parts sound appealing, others not so much! 🙂

    Thanks for the reminder to use my library. There's one within walking distance of boyfriend's apartment… so I should make that happen!

    I was super disappointed with the Last Song…different from the book and I think Miley did a terrible job. I'm going to look up the Hunger Games right now! And I think you should post the mac'n cheese recipe. Just sayin…
