The Movie Hop, baking, and basketball!

We had a good weekend. The movie Hop that we rented was alright. If I had a kid it would be a sure family favorite at Easter time. And if I was a teacher it would be a great classroom-friendly movie for youngsters. However, for adults it wasn't as easy to watch as some other animated flicks have been for us. Way too far-fetched! We also came away with too many thoughts on how it could have been better. Our brains do not normally start analyzing how a movie could be improved immediately after watching it!

I did some baking this past weekend. I woke up with a recipe in my head one day last week. This happens to me from time to time! Anyway I decided to try out the recipe. I made a half recipe of chocolate chip cookies with the mini morsels and a half of a brownie recipe. I then poured the brownie recipe into a baking dish and spooned the cookie recipe on top as evenly as I could. All I have to say is that I thought my boyfriend would be taking some of these cookie-brownies to work with him this week...but there's none left!

Enough with the college basketball! I'm not into it this year. Which I've already mentioned. I don't mind that the weekends are filled with the men's college basketball. But when the men aren't playing I feel as though they are cramming the women's basketball down our throats. The women play at odd times, so as not to interfere with the men's schedule. I guess in the past I've never noticed how much coverage the women get. Maybe this is a year where the women are getting more coverage than usual. Either way it's getting to be enough for me! Overkill! Ready for ESPN and other sports networks to turn it's attention to something else. Last night the womens' bball was over for the evening, immediately following it was a high school basketball skills competition. Really ESPN? Is basketball really so popular that you have to run high school skills comps during primetime? I would love to know how many viewers they raked in on Monday night! Everyone knows Monday night has fierce rating battles as does Thursday night.
