Yesterday was a really nice day. I got up and then took a nap, and extra sleep is always what I need on the weekend. And then we left the house for most of the day, wow!
The plan I'd been formulating towards the end of the week was that I wanted to see Pirates 3. I still had money on my gift card from Megan and Andrew (we used some on Spiderman 3), and so we went back to Cinetopia. They have nice cushy seats. We got our tickets and then went out shopping for a bit until it started.
We browsed for a bit at World Market, where our favorite sparkling pear cider was on sale (it's a perfect compliment to a nice meal, beautiful flavor), and they also had some jelly bellys "Soda Pop Shoppe" that was a nice combo of pop-inspired jelly bellys, perfect for the movie. Then we headed to lunch at Old Spaghetti Factory, which is on that side of town so we don't get to go there as much as we'd like. After dinner, we headed over to Kohl's, where they were having a huge sale that we accidentally caught the tail end of - I got a purse that fits inside my laptop bag for 50% off, it's a nice style and has a pretty lining, and will work well for an upcoming trip. After that, we headed back down to Craft Warehouse, where I'd seen a sidewalk sale when we drove past earlier. Nice thing about going there is that E can walk down a few stores to a bookstore and I can not feel as guilty about shopping with him in the car. I found more yarn needles (the one I was using on my super-secret project was too big), a bag of buttons, and this interesting jewelry on clearance that featured not only purple beads, but little purple buttons. Seemed like the perfect thing for "now-crafty-me" :)
By that time, it was time to head back to the theater, and we went and settled in. The previews were great, featuring most of the movies we wanted to see this summer (Die Hard, Harry Potter, Transformers, etc). The movie itself was great too.
After the movie, we went out for frozen custard - yum, mine was a "wedding cake" one, where they mixed a whole piece of yellow cake with white frosting into frozen custard.
Last stop was the library where some of my requested books were in and others needed to go back.
It was such a nice time out! My legs were sore by the time we got home, and so we sat on the couch and I watched Dante's Peak while knitting and E played his DS.
And today, I look forward to more rest, a birthday party for my mom, and some cleaning that's muchly needed. :)
