Erie Trip, Dream Blog

Jeff and I decided to go to Erie yesterday rather than Tuesday since Tuesday morning we have to have Adam back in DuBois at 8 AM. So we started out by at Borders, as Jeff and I still had a gift certificate to spend from Christmas. Then we ate lunch at Red Lobster. I had the crab meat fettucine alfredo, and Jeff and Adam both had Harborside Trios, which included a lobster tail and some excellent shrimp scampi. Then we went to the mall. Jeff and Adam went to the cigar shop while I started shopping for new clothes for work. Our new dress code goes into affect June 1st. I started a Macy's and found a dress and a pair of flat black shoes I liked, but a lot of the other things I liked were just way too expensive. So Adam and Jeff found me, and then we went to JC Penney's, which is better anyway since the one in Erie is bigger than the one in Olean, so it has more selection, but I can return things to the one in Olean if they don't fit right. So there I got a new pair of khaki capris, a pair of nice light khaki pants and skirt that were made of the same material. I also got 2 new polo shirts, and 3 light weight sweaters. Then we stopped at the Shoe Department and Payless, because I wanted another pair of sandals with a closed toe to wear to work this summer. Adam also found a new pair of sandals, which he put on immediately after leaving Payless, as his old ones were pretty well beat.

After that, we headed out of the mall and went to Dick's Sporting Goods, where I found a new golf bag on sale for half the original price. It's so sharp looking, it's red and black, my favorite colors. Jeff also found 1 pair of golf shoes in the entire store to fit his big feet, so we bought them too. Then we drove up to Tinseltown and got tickets for Pirates of the Carribean, At World's End. The theater was completely sold out, luckily we found three empty seats right at the end of a full row before the show started, so the ushers didn't have to ask us to scoot down. This was in one of the bigger theaters at Tinseltown, so the seats are on a steeper rake then in most theaters. My feet were actually behind the head of the person in front of me, so I had a full view of the everything on screen. I'm not going to talk about the movie a lot now, I know a lot of my friends probably haven't seen it yet, and I don't want to give out spoilers. I will say I throughly enjoyed it, and I would like to see it in the theater again. And we will definitely own it.

After the theater we went to Outback Steakhouse. I had never been there before. Our steaks were awesome, and so was my beverage, a New South Wales Sangria. It was like alcoholic fruit punch. Jeff also tried a Newcastle Brown Ale, which he enjoyed. After that, we headed up Peach St. towards home, but the light at Krispy Kreme was on, so we had to stop for dessert. We only bought half a dozen, which were killed between the three of us on the car ride home.

All in all, a fantastic day with my wonderful husband and my favorite son. I would have liked to have called Allison and Grey, but we weren't sure what time the movie would get out, or where we would end up eating if Outback was really busy, so I didn't call, and I am sorry! Hopefully I might be able to see them today, since I know they always go down to the Farm for Memorial Day.

Oh, this was supposed to be a dream blog too, wasn't it? I had a dream that I was jumping from the mouth of a cave, and I fell a long way, into a perfectly still, clear pool of water that was reflecting the full moon. I want to hang onto that image, as I think it will be a powerful one for meditation. Also, I dreamed I was doing fun things with a character from Nip/Tuck, and it's not the one you may think!

That's all for now, we will be going to West Hickory today to see my family. Tomorrow is Keely's birthday. Merry Part and Blessed Be!
