Well, it's been a long, crazy week at The Farm. Mr. Barb had three days training at the beginning of the week and then I had a late meeting yesterday which made for a 14 hour day because I couldn't cancel anything. Man, I think we really earned this weekend. However, since we both get some extra time off Friday afternoon, and since the weather has finally cooled down some, we're taking the boys on a car ride to see Grandpa. They will love it and Grandpa loves the pups.
We actually watched some decent movies for a change. We watched the new "Fast and Furious" lasyt weekend. I really don't know why because we never watched any of the others. It's wasn't great but it was at least entertaining. Then I watched "Colossal." I thought this was going to be a romantic comedy but no, it actually was a decent dramatic story and I really enjoyed it. Yes, there's some humor, and the story line is impossible, but I do recommend it. Finally we watched "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" I really liked it and it's worth it just to see dancing Groot in the first 10 minutes of the intro. We are going to give Tom Cruise's "The Mummy" a try this weekend.
Finally, I managed to finish a book and a graphic novel. I haven't been able to read much the past 3 days and it makes me quite cranky. I did sign up for a new challenge (you know me and challenges) and will be talking more about it next week. Also look for a review of "The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina." It's definitely become my third fave graphic novel of all time (behind Saga and The Chew). Here's what I hope to make time for this coming week.
Hope everyone has a wonderful week!!!!
That's how I feel about the Fast and Furious franchise! Entertaining! so many cars flying and exploding LOL hope you and Mr. Barb enjoy visiting Grandpa and Mr. can get some well deserved R&R
ReplyDeleteThanks so much. I'm sure we will. The temps are so great this weekend it will be perfect to relax!
DeleteI've never watched any of the Fast and Furious series. To be fair until my recent shark thing, I've hardly watched any films in the last few years! Hoping that will change through the rest of the year. Hugs to the boys!
ReplyDeleteThe boys send lot of hugs back your way and Cassius wants you to know he stalking a new cat in the area who is totally infringing on his yard.
DeleteBusy but also with some time to do the good things in life. Hope you enjoy The Mummy and look forward to your forthcoming reviews - I'm intrigued by the Spellbook of the Lost and Found.
ReplyDeleteLynn :D
We didn't end up watching The Mummy but I'm sure we'll get to it soon. We did watch an interesting film called Buskirk.
DeleteSpellbook of the Lost and Found caught my eye recently, I'm looking to hearing what you think. Have a wonderful weekend, hopefully you'll get some much deserved reading time in!

I'm liking it but not loving it. Should be able to finish it tonight.
DeleteYou both deserve a nice relaxing weekend so I hope going and seeing Grandpa does the trick. Poor Hollywood Homicide, will it ever get read. ;) I have books I put on my list and put on my list and eventual it gets read. :) Hope you like the Mummy, I am not a huge Tom Cruise fan so I have put it off though I am kind of curious. :)
ReplyDeleteI know. That book may be the death of me and it looks like it may get pushed back even farther.
DeleteOh my gosh. That is a really long day! Hope yall had a fantastic visit :D
ReplyDeleteThanks! We did.
DeleteLooks like you've got some good books coming up this week. I'm grateful I have an uneventful weekend to catch up with reading and blogging. I just didn't feel like working on my blog last week so I'm way behind. I can't wait for Labor Day weekend!
ReplyDeleteThat's how I was over the weekend. I don't even remember turning the computer on other than to pay a bill.
DeleteI like the Guardians of the Galaxy movies. :) I can't wait to hear what you think of The Mummy. I've been putting off watching it, but I'm one of the few who still love Tom Cruise so I'll eventually watch it.
ReplyDeleteI think it looks promising. We ended up putting it off but I'm sure we'll watch it soon.
DeleteOh I LOVED Groot in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2! I will admit I was a little bummed with the overall storyline of the film. But I hop to see a Vol. 3 soon!
ReplyDeleteYea, I love Groot as well as the music. I wasn't sold on the whole Kurt Russell thing but I thought the ending was good.
DeleteI hope you had a good weekened, Barb! I bet the boys really enjoyed their trip to see grandpa! It has been a long time since I watched a movie. I am still watching Midnight, Texas though.
