this weekend was a good one. a busy one, but a good one. and here would be where i naturally veer into talking about the weather but i’m not going to. people, i. am. not. going. to.
friday night i went into boston for the ray lamontagne concert with my friends anna and jenny. it was great, just as you’d expect, though i do wish he’d have played less of his supernova album and more old stuff. but then, i think i always wish that with every concert i go to, and of course they do need to promote the new stuff. it was still wonderful. that man’s voice. it’s just so great.
saturday night we had a family movie night and watched we bought a zoo. that movie is just the sweetest and makes me tear up nothing short of three times; for steve, at least five. the scene where the dad’s watching rosie play with the peacocks and then jonsi starts in the background and the sun comes in and he’s smiling and decides to buy the zoo? that’s one of the three times i cry. that movie is a family favorite (especially steve’s), and it was just so nice to sit and watch it with my people all around. you do listen to the soundtrack right? no? stop what you’re doing and listen now. oh, and we had haagen dazs ice cream for dessert: vanilla and chocolate both with a splash of milk. mmmmm. best ice cream ever. ever. ever. ever.
sunday we got a lot done here around the house, and finally i’m going to go make our bed (freshly laundered sheets are one of my favorite things, but the making bed part, not so much) and watch bachelorette and game of thrones with steve. team tyrion! (aren’t we all? that probably didn’t need to be said.)
hope you all had a good weekend!
The fact that Steve cries in that movie makes me want to see it. And the fact that he cries more than you is awesome.
he totally does. not just that movie either! he's a softie.
Game of Thrones last night….girl I had to look away.
I am so jealous you got to see my bearded boyfriend.
Now I know what movie to watch tonight! I've always wanted to see We Bought a Zoo. I think Scott will like it too.
Game of thrones….you should post on that ending. Whaaaaa?!??!!

horrified. HORRIFIED.
I am so OBSESSED with the We Bought a Zoo soundtrack. I tell everyone I know to listen to it. So so good!
Freshly laundered sheets are the best! Luckily my stepdaughter loves making beds, I always take advantage of it.
Never heard of the movie or the soundtrack here but as someone who really likes your taste of music I stoped reading, started listening, fell in love and bought the movie and the soundtrack – um well 😉 It helps me to get over the jealousy the ray lamontagne concert
A splash of milk over your ice cream? Is this something wonderful I'm missing out on?
it gives the ice cream this icy shell and makes it a little milkshake-like. we all do it and love it!
a) the We Bought a Zoo soundtrack is so good! It's my go-to for relaxing music when I'm writing.
b) ice cream with a little bit of milk is my JAM.We call it milkshake in a bowl cause usually after the hard shell breaks, I mush it all up. ha
I just saw this movie recently, such a sweet one! It was nice to see Matt Damon playing such a family man. Also, Ray Lamontagne is awesome, love his music especially this duet http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2EO0w9i5wmA
Oh man, We Bought a Zoo! One of my favourite movies that I always forget how much I love!
