Weekend Mirths

When Monday comes I sometimes feel like the weekend was uneventful, but once I get to listing things out I realize it's probably because so much happened so fast. Take this weekend for example: Friday night Jefe and I volunteered for a program called Friday's Kids Respite. If you like Utah County, I highly recommend looking into helping out with this program. It's only every other Friday night, and you babysit special needs children so that for a short three and a half hours their parents can live a normal life, or even go out on a date. It's so rewarding and the kids are so great.

Saturday was all about rest and rejuvenation, with a bit of housework thrown in. Saturday night we walked around the mall and got ice cream, then watched "Sneakers". The last time I saw that movie I was probably 13 years old, and somehow, years later, I still don't understand it all the way.

Sunday we enjoyed blueberry almond pancakes and after church went out to enjoy the flash of spring weather.

We finally finished things of with a batch of fresh, homemade doughnuts. Recipes on our Sunday delights to come.

I came into work this morning and drooled all over my computer screen when I saw this gown from the SAG Awards red carpet. Goodness me. I want it. Isn't it gorgeous? It was definitely my favorite.

The Sundance Film Festival wrapped up this weekend. All last week I thought about how fun it would be to go up to Park City, alas, I didn't feel like standing in an endless line waiting for tickets.

The movie I'd most like to see this year:
Buck by Cindy Meehl, Audience Award Documentary

So, next September 16th or so, I need to register for a purchase timeslot, which then I will use to purchase tickets sometime in early January. Hopefully there will be some good options next year, and hopefully there will be some left-over tickets for me to snatch up. Most of all, I hope I can remember to register!!

I hope you had a relaxing, or event-filled weekend, whatever your preference. Have a great week! Countdown to Friday: 4 more days to go.
