"You mother?"

Happy (late) Mother’s Day!

Garrett was out of town the weekend before last at a friend’s wedding in Alabama, so we had to make up for lost movie time this past weekend and see some of the new releases.

On Saturday we saw Star Trek, and let me tell you, it does not disappoint! They did such an awesome job with the script and casting. Everything is true to the original, but modernized for today’s audiences. We give it two Dollar signs up!

On Sunday we saw the Wolverine movie. I thought it was good, Garrett thought it was just okay. Casting was great, script was decent, and special effects had some rough spots. Garrett’s biggest gripe was how they portrayed the Deadpool character at the end of the movie. Since I’m not as familiar with him as some of the others it didn’t bother me. We give it one and a half Dollar signs. (But, of course, anything would be hard to follow Star Trek.)

On Saturday, we found a Japanese restaurant in the next town over that’s pretty good. They do a Texas sushi roll that has brisket instead of fish. It was interesting…

When our (very Asian) waitress came up to us, she said “You mother?” We thought she was asking if I was Garrett’s mother, which he found much funnier than I did. Instead, we realized she was asking if I was a mother so she could wish me a happy Mother’s Day. When she realized what we thought she said, she turned bright red and started fanning herself.

Sunday was our first Mother’s Day away from our mothers, so that was a little sad. We made all the phone calls to moms and grandmothers and then decided to grill out at the house instead of trying to get into a restaurant.

Overall we had a great weekend going into a busy week! Garrett’s working hard today on a show for a big car dealership. (Think Club Hour, but with cars.) They have a short turn-around, so he is busy busy busy. Right now, that’s always a good thing.

Also, my brother will be here next week for Memorial Day weekend, so we’re getting really excited about that!! We can’t wait!
