5 movies and a lot of vino!

Everything is back in it's place today after a somewhat wild weekend.

Lots of laughter, some loud music, soaking up the sunshine on the back porch and having deep conversations over a bottle {or two} of wine....stuff that you can only do with the closest of friends.
This crumpled couch was filled with kids, adults, and the dog all weekend {notice I didn't mention hubby, he tried to stay far away all weekend, hee, hee}. The coffee table was piled high with glasses of wine, platters of cheese, crackers, hummus, cupcakes and candles.


My girlfriend Lisa came in from New York and we had a ball, like we always do when we get together. We tried to cram in as many movies as we could before the SAG awards Sunday night and ultimately the Oscars in February.


At least 20 candles were burning in the room during our movie fest/girls weekend in.


I had to get these cute World Market apothecary candles after Linsey showed us hers last week.
We burned up apple-tv and on-demand and managed to see the following movies in 2 short days:

Paranormal Activity 3 {please don't judge, we like ghost movies}


The Help


Bridesmaids


50/50
We had a delicious brunch at Brasserie 19 on Sunday then stopped by The Bird and The Bear for some prosecco on the patio. The weather in Houston was too dreamy to be sitting in a dark movie theatre but we did sneak out to see The Artist on Sunday and it was great!

Here's to long lasting friendships, entertaining movies, Houston sunshine and staying away from wine for a week or so, eek!

Sounds like a very enjoyable way to spend the weekend! I still need to see 50/50. So loved Bridesmaids!

Lynda- You have to see 50/50 but be sure to have some kleenex handy. You'll laugh and cry, such a great movie!

Great weekend! I'm planning on seeing 50/50 this week and I'm dying to go see The Artist.
Where are the wine and cupcake stains all over your white couch??? ;)

Morning T said...

Trust me Tina- that throw blanket on my couch was covered in popcorn crumbs and muddy dog paw prints until I finally washed it last night- ugh! ;)
