snoggedFriday Night:
& Went to visit my parents and we decided to go shopping when I got there. Mom and I went to go look at dresses since my cousin is getting married this summer. I found this dress at Penney's and I fell in love with it.
&Went to Uno's Chicago Grill for dinner. I had the field greens and goat cheese side salad and a bowl of New England Clam Chowder. It was delicious!
&Dad introduced me to the TV show, The Finder. Can't say that it's one I'd watch religiously, but it was a fun show.
Saturday:
&Went to see Cabin in the Woods with my dad and my friends, Mindy and Paul. I'm not usually one to go see the non-cheesy horror films, but I did enjoy this one. Fran Kranz was absolutely brilliant in his role. I also loved the fact that there were two older gentlemen (late 70's/early 80's) who were sitting in the row in front of us and really seemed to be getting into it. When the movie ended, the one looked to the other and said "Time for a martini." Then, they grabbed their canes and trundled down the stairs together. So cute!
&We ate dinner at Mama Mia's and while I've enjoyed their food in the past, I wasn't quite so thrilled this time. I ordered the Wild Mushroom and Herb Ravioli and opted to get the alfredo sauce on the side because I wasn't sure I would need it for the pasta, but figured it would be yummy for the garlic bread. The garlic bread was so oily and buttery that it was hard to eat and the Alfredo sauce came out cold. Like pulled-from-the-fridge-and-dumped-in-a-bowl cold. :/ The waiter went to reheat it and when it came back, all the ingredients had separated. Let's just say I stayed away from the Alfredo.
Sunday:
&Came back to Portage and found that my copy of the Starkid SPACE tour DVR had been delivered. It also came with a mini-Starkid headband, a pair of child-sized Starkid socks, and a message from the Ann Arbor T-Shirt Company saying that I rock. :) Totally unexpected surprise. :)
