Weekend Update not with Seth Meyers

Two confessions:

1) These updates span more than just the weekend.
2) I only titled it that in a cheap effort to gain more google traffic. I put not with Seth Meyers so you can’t be mad. It’s right there in the title. You need to be more observant.
2b) If this shameless attempt to drive more traffic my way works, I am going to insert random celebrity names into every post’s title from now on.

On with the updates:

-Last week I wrote a guest post for Tyler Stanton. It was a guide for going to movies alone. This was actually my second guest post for Tyler. I am aware that both of my guest posts for him mention men’s underwear. My bad.

-Speaking of movies, I took Ada to the $1 theater yesterday. We saw Gnomeo and Juliet. It is about red garden gnomes and blue garden gnomes involved in a bitter rivalry. I think is loosely based off some Shakespearian play about the Bloods and the Crips.

-Greatest moment of the weekend: We received Friday Night Lights Season 5 Disc 2 from Netflix on Saturday. After putting the kids to bed, we put it in and were disappointed to see the disc only had 3 episodes. We watched all 3 without stopping and then became sad because it was over. Until I noticed it said “More” at the bottom of the screen. I clicked it only to reveal there were TWO MORE EPISODES! There may or may not have been hooting and hollering. I’m not sure because I don’t exactly know what hooting is.

-Worst moment of the weekend: Friday night, our family went to Chili’s for a pseudo 5yr anniversary celebration. (Our real celebration was a couple of weeks ago.) Things ended early with John crying hysterically and Ada almost tugging LB’s dress off before our food even arrived. LB ended up taking the two screaming kids to the car while everyone in the restaurant stared at her as she left. I stayed behind to get the check and tweeted from my phone as to avoid making eye contact with anyone. I have a new appreciation for smartphones.

-A rare moment of seriousness from me, I’m sure everyone has heard about the record breaking tornado that swept through the south last week. I wanted to let everyone know you can donate $10 by texting REDCROSS to 90999. If you got it, give it; if you don’t pray for everyone that was affected. I can’t imagine what they are going through. I’m sure every little bit helps.

-Because I can’t end on serious note, I thought I would post this tornado related clip. If we named tornadoes the way we name hurricanes, this one would be called The Hamburglar:

My favorite part is the reporter trying not to laugh when he reveals that the tornado took his hamburger, fries, and drink and he is still unsure of their whereabouts.
