The week has flown by in a whirlwind! It feels like I've been running around like crazy, but this evening, I think a date night is in order. I haven't cooked Kevin a real meal since Monday which I'm sure he's not happy about. However, that gives him an excuse to eat dinosaur-shaped chicken nuggets so he can't be that upset.
Tomorrow, my sister has agreed to be my designated driver (her being pregnant has perks!) to Massanutten Resorts annual beer and wine festival.
Every year, Valley Fest is held on Memorial Day weekend and we always have so much fun. They have live music, food, and countless beer and wine samples. Then on Sunday, my best friend, Katie, is having a cook out at her parents house. It's going to be a busy but fun weekend all around and I'll finally get to kick back and relax on Monday. Or shop. Whatever.
I know I should have a vlog for you but like I said, it's been a hectic week and I didn't have a chance to record but I still wanted to touch on todays topic which is: What 3 people from history or your life would you invite to dinner? Why?
This is the part where I insert some educated explanation on why I would just love to have dinner with Stonewall Jackson or George Washington or Betsy Ross but I have to be honest, History and Social studies were never strong subjects for me. Give me a book and I can read it in a day but don't ask me to memorize dates and locations of historic war, it's just not how my brain works. Shoot me but it doesn't interest me in the slightest.
On the other hand, if you say I can have dinner with Harry Potter and Mr. Darcy, I'm on that like white on rice.

Keeping with the movie theme, I've become fascinated with royal ancestry after watching The Other Boleyn Girl several years ago. I'm sure that parts of the movie were exaggerated but the history behind the royal family is something I've been curious about even before all this royal wedding madness. So if I had to pick a real-live person from history, I would want to pick the brain of Henry VIII. Also, I just read that entire Wikipedia page and am even more curious. It's like a ridiculous soap opera where everyone gets beheaded.
So, in conclusion, I watch too many movies and don't know enough actual history. Who would you choose to have dinner with?! Happy Memorial Day weekend my loves!!! WAHOO.

Yes, dinner with Mr. Darcy, please and thank you.
And maybe Hugh Jackman too. Duh.
Mr Darcy broke my heart....have you read that book?
I'd like to be join in on dinner with Mr. Darcy will you share? Also ummm wine and beer FEST I'm pretty sure I'm going to see you this time next year to say the least.
Awesome author or historical fiction? Phillippa Gregory! She wrote The Other Boleyn Girl.
Also, dino-shaped nuggets with some tater tots are pretty much my idea meal.
I'm sure I should know who Mr. Darcy is but I don't... maybe I need to watch more movies...
Harry Potter! Have fun at beerfest sounds like lots of fun, I'm jealous! :-)
I'd like Hagrid to serve me some tea! :)
Dino shaped chicken nuggets aren't a proper meal? Oops. :P Someone should tell my husband. (also, I get the feeling our husbands would be fast friends. at the least, they share the same food preferences)
Beer & Wine festival?! Yes please!
I agree with Amy! How awesome would that be?!
I'm so jealous of your weekend. I want to go to a beer and wine festival!!!
I'm also totally with you on inviting HP to dinner ;)
Lol I wanted to be a social studies teacher but ONLY to teach psych, sociology and poli sci. I was never much of a history fan.
I love, love, LOVE this because I am a history teacher myself:) It's always difficult to pin down three people:)
