I'm quite happy to say that I managed to have a low-key weekend that was filled with some pretty wonderful times.

I was able to start and finish a book (Milkweed by Jerry Spinelli). Granted, it was a short book (208 pages), but it was really good and hooked me in from the very first sentence.

I saw American Reunion with my friend, Meg, today. It was a choice between that and The Five-Year Engagement, but the timing of the movies made it easier to go see AR. Plus, I wanna be Alyson Hannigan's girlfriend so that was a plus in the American Reunion column right there. In my opinion, the film definitely lived up to the American Pie lineage (EXCLUDING all that direct-to-DVD crap they made with Stifler's brother and Jim's dad. Just say no to The Naked Mile.) I loved that they got so many original cast members back and there were definitely laugh-out-loud parts. There were also seriously gross parts too, but you really can't make an American Pie movie without the whole package.

Finally, as with every one of my weekends lately, there was great food to be had.

On Saturday night, Nick and I met my parents at this restaurant called Napoli Italian Restaurant and Pizzeria. It was just about the halfway point between our houses and even though none of us had been there before, the food and service did not disappoint. They gave us these homemade garlic knots that were just so delicious. My salad was delicious. My spinach stuffed ravioli was delicious. The cheesecake my dad ordered for everyone to share was delicious and fluffy. Oh, and my drink was called a Green Goddess and it was amazing! (The waitress also said it was the bartender's favorite drink to make.)

Today, Meg and I went to the Hitching Post and I had a grilled chicken Cesar wrap and sweet potato fries. It was so yummy I ate the whole thing, which sorta bit me in the ass later because Meg had to go and order dessert. They brought us this strawberry pie that was covered in whipped cream and tasted an awful lot like heaven.

Can I just say I'm glad I'm starting a 90-day fitness challenge where I've sworn to walk for at least 30 minutes every day starting on Tuesday no matter what the weather? I think I'm going to need it.

Sounds like a fun and delicious weekend!

Gabrielle

It most certainly was!

Yay for good times and good food!

I'm gonna wait to see American Reunion when it comes out on DVD.

I probably could have waited to see it on DVD too, but I'm such a sucker when it comes to Alyson Hannigan. :)

Walking is very good exercise. I've been going for walks 3-4 days a week, but I'm feeling like I could benefit from this 90-day thing my friend is doing because I'll have a cheerleader or two that way.

Sorry to hear about your ankle!

Food sounds good.

Glad you had a good weekend

Me too.

Hope you had a nice one as well!

Got to finally see The Hunger Games. So mad at Moms and Dads who brought small children. Really, don't think they needed to see that.

Some parents just have no clue.

Your icon makes me happy. :)

Sounds wonderful! I had pretty much the same thoughts about American Reunion. I could do without the super gross stuff but like you said, guess you have to have the whole package.

Yeah fitness challenge! We can help motivate each other to get our walks in. :)

I'm glad my icon makes you happy.

Ooh! I like that plan. Activate twin powers: motivate!

Aww, Italian cousine and movies.. the best weekend ever!

It really was. :)

Sounds like a fun, and very delicious, weekend.

Now I'm hungry! lol.

LOL. :)

I definitely wanna see American Reunion! I love the American Pie movies!!!
Good luck with your 90-day fitness challenge!

Thanks!
