Sewing, Shopping, Movies & Thai Food

I've never been an After Thanksgiving Sale type of person. Growing up Thanksgiving weekend always meant a huge invitational swim meet. Not shopping or decorating. I didn't even realize that the day after Thanksgiving was called Black Friday until recently.

My plans for today were simple. Sew on a quilt. I did manage to assemble the blocks to this quilt.



By 11 am, Mr. A got a mild case of cabin fever and convinced me to go to Target with him. The madness of the early morning shopping was over but there were still quite a few people out and many of them left their manners at home. We checked out the sales and really couldn't find anything that we really needed. We bought what was on our list and left.

After a lunch of leftovers, the boys and I finally saw Harry Potter. We got to the theater thinking that there might be a queue. Yes, there was a line that wrapped around the building. Oh no, we thought that we would be stuck in the front row looking up Harry's nostrils for two hours. Then I noticed that the line was made-up of 4-yr-old girls and their parents or grandparents. Whew, they were in line for Tangled. We got prime seats in the theater and the movie was excellent. All three of us are looking forward to Part II.

None of us could face another round of leftovers for dinner so we went out for Thai food. Well, my Sweetie, Mr. A, and myself had Thai food. G-Man had Chinese-style sweet & sour chicken. I give Mr. A kudos for trying curry for the first time. He even liked it! I aslo tried Pan Seew for the first time. I'm always a little hesitant to try new Asian food. But I'm glad I did because it was so yummy!



However, I was really confused when I opened my fortune cookie and saw that my fortune was written in Spanish. What's up with that?

Since when do you get a Chinese Fortune Cookie with a Thai meal? So why not write it in Spanish.
Do you add "in bed" at the end of your fortune?

Sounds like a great day.

The other thing about fortune cookies I've noticed lately--most of them contain phrases or statements that aren't fortunes, just "words of wisdom." How dumb is that?
