RAIN!!!!

Wow talk about your wet weekends!  We were expecting some rain this past weekend but not to the volumes I was imaging.  It down poured A LOT!  Heavy rain that woke me up at 1 and 3AM in the morning on Sunday.  I don't recall having rain that loud in a long time minus hail.  And more rain is due next week, this is the weather we have been needing!!  I hope this also means some heavy snow on the mountains so we have a nice flow of a water supply to last us this year.  I wonder where all this rain is coming from all of a sudden... or maybe I just shouldn't question it and glad it's coming!  It's not even April yet yet... April Showers are here!  So what if it's off by a day, if it rained every month for a couple of days we would be in a much better state than we are now with our water supply.

Weekly Update:
I was in a discussion about those home meal prep kits like Blue Apron and Hello Fresh.  I have tried both and they are both really good!  Really great thing to try if you are not good or great at cooking, these kind of accomplish a few things.  First, they give you everything you need for a meal for two (some offer meals for 4 for a family).  Then it comes with step-by-step instructions, usually with pictures so you can see if you are doing it right.  If you have any shipping or material problems, from my experience having tried both the customer service was outstanding.  I think the problems for me were minor but add up.  Meals start for 2 people so I always have left overs which isn't bad but for me it's more than just one meals worth of left-overs so I end up eating the same thing for days.  The other problem is as you do them, eventually the options become repetitive and they also have stuff I don't want to try (anything with kale, just seems like a waste to me.  OH and cabbage too!).  So if yo do them long enough, they get boring and a little pricy after awhile but still recommend them to try out!

At the movies:
Godzilla is back and he brought a friend... new at #1 is Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire with a huge 80 million to open.  Unsure if the now Academy Award winner Godzilla Minus-One had any affect on that.  But word-of-mouth is good on this new film as well.  Easy 100 mil by mid-week.  Big drop down to #2 is Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire with another 15.7 mil.  Still on track to hit 100 but will take a bit longer than anticipated. Holding at #3 for it's 5th week is Dune: Part Two with 11 mil as it continues into Spring.  Drop down to #4 is Kung Fu Panda 4 with 10.2 mil and continues to chop it's way through but might not hit 200 mil.  Rounding off the top 5 is Immaculate with an extra 3.3 mil and any new movie should knock it off.

New movies that did not make the top 5:
We have two this weeks, both limited releases though (under 500 screens).  At #8 is Tillu Square with 1.8 mil and a per screen average of 4k, this one will be out and gone quickly.  Right behind that at #9 is Crew with 1.5 mil and had a few more screens as well.  Also will be gone in no time.
