Herb Day, Movies, and Other Thoughts

Herb Day
Herb day is over, thank goodness! It was actually kind of fun, but it was still a rather long day. The worst thing was that it was still really windy, and rather chilly. But the crowd was good and all the vendors said they had a good day. I spent most of the day running back and forth getting speakers situated and announcing upcoming seminars in various locations. I gave a talk at 10:30 about growing herbs in containers. I had a good number of people, so that was nice. It's always helpful when you feel like people are interested in your topic and are learning something. By the time we got everything torn down and put away at 3:30, I was TIRED.


I am Legend
We rented and watched the recent Will Smith movie, I am Legend this weekend. It was supposed to be good, and the premise seemed intriguing. Unfortunately, we concluded that it is just an extremely bizarre movie with a plot that left a lot to be desired. My take on it was that there wasn't enough happy ending to make up for the overall strangeness of it. Will Smith did a great job acting, but the movie was still not that great...

27 Dresses
The far better movie rental this weekend was 27 Dresses, which was my choice for my birthday. Hey, it's my birthday, so I might as well take advantage of it and make Steven watch a chick flick, right? While it was a rather fluffy movie, it was well written, well directed, and well acted. Definitely not highly thought-provoking, but very entertaining. It was semi-predictable, as most romantic comedies are. However, there were a few twists that made it more realistic than average. The best part was when Jane (Katherine Heigl) tried on all 27 of her bridesmaid dresses. Oh yeah...definitely got some good ideas for the wedding from that...

Wedding Planning
We haven't been doing a whole lot on that front, although I'm still working on getting addresses and such for save-the-date cards. We are mostly waiting for Steven's spring semester to be over and for me to be done with training next week. Theoretically, there will then be more time available to work on all manner of planning details.
