Grandma Day

I had the day off work yesterday since I have to work on Saturday which meant it was time for another Grandma day. Before Grandma day started I went shopping by myself at Rookwood. I was looking for some new dress pants since the ones I have are too big and a pair of jeans. I hit up Old Navy first and bought a pair of jeans and a pair of dress pants. The dress pants are too long, but I like the way they fit everywhere else. I figured I could just hem them. After Old Navy I went to New York & Company to use my Gift Card from Christmas. There wasn't much in the store that I wanted, but I bought two more pairs of dress pants knowing I would not be keeping all of the pants. I also found a top for $6 that I bought. My last stop before Grandma day began was Target. I was going to look for knee high boots that would hopefully fit around my large calves, but they didn't have any, go figure. I bought another pair of jeans and a silky nightie for bed, both items were on sale. I didn't have enough time to root through the endless birthday cards so I will have to go back to Target later this week.

I went to my Grandma's to meet my sister and pick up my Grandma to go see our movie at 4:00. Every couple of months my sister and I take my Grandma to go see a movie and then we go out to dinner, I call it Grandma day. She wanted to see Charlie Wilson's War which started at 4:25. We finally picked a movie that wasn't over 2 hours this time. The last movie we saw was American Gangster which was well over 2 hours. And yes my grandma picked that movie out as well; she likes Denzel Washington. We thought we were going to be the only ones in the theater, but a few others showed up right before the movie started. I really had no idea what the movie was about so I had no expectations going in. I thought it was pretty good; it could have been better and it could have been worse. But you know me I think most movies I see are just "ok".

After the movie we went to Panera in Hyde Park for dinner. I don't think we had gone there after the movies yet. Usually we go to Friday's, Don Pablo's or the Pub at Rookwood. I ordered some soup since it was so cold outside with my half sandwich. On the way out we all got something from the bakery section. I bought a wild blueberry scone, my sis got a mini lemon poppy seed bunt cake, and my Grandma got a cranberry muffin. They have great cinnamon crunch bagels, if you can even call them bagels, but they were all out.

When I got home after Grandma day I needed a second opinion on all the clothes I bought and called up Jenster to see if she would be so kind as to lend me hers. I went over there with purchases in hand for the second opinion. She agreed with me on pretty much everything, so I am going to take back a bunch of pants and try to hem the dress pants I like that are way too long. I really wish I had a sewing machine so I didn't have to keep going to my parents for all my sewing needs.

Fun day off work, not topped off with a marriage proposal.
