pieces of advice...

1) NEVER EVER EVER NEVER buy McDonald's new Iced Coffee. ITS AWFUL!!! the stuff i make here at home is SO much better.

2) When going out with your mother-in-law, make sure to dress appropriately.

3) If you go to movie theatre to see X-Men 3, stay until after the credits. There's an important extra little clip at the end.

--> A follow up note: if you DO go to see it, prepare to be mightily upset.

Well, i was. My friend wasnt. But i didnt so much as like the ending.

4) When out to eat at a pizza place, dont buy the mozzarella sticks; its gonna be too expensive.

5) Make sure your child is well-rested and well-fed before having his/her picture taken. Otherwise he/she will not be pleasant.

Okay, so all of these are a reflection of yesterday. I had a busy day. but it was really good.

Let me back up and say: i've been SOOOOOOOOO stressed out. Erica was exceedingly cranky from saturday until wednesday. And thus, i was getting cranky too. So, Andrew nicely agreed to watch Erica last night so that i could go out. how nice.

Well, thursday afternoon i actually went to visit his mom, b/c she wanted to have erica's picture taken. Erica wasnt quite well rested and hadnt eaten before the picture time. Luckily she was okay at the beginning so they got some good snapshots. But, she started getting antsy. She wouldnt stay still, and kept running away. Ah well. That day, i was wearing a semi-new shirt of mine. Unfortunately, i didnt think things through when dressing; its a tad low-cut, so i was extremely embarrassed the whole time.

Anyway, moving on... Once andrew came home from work, i headed out to go to the movies w/ my friend val. We ate at a pizza place. i got a sandwhich and mozzarella sticks. They were good... but pricey. mmm... Then we headed to the movie. It was good; but i really hated how it ended. If i was the one writing the script, it would have had a totally different outcome.

After the movie, i stopped by McDonalds for a drink. So i got their new iced coffee. It was so gross, i couldnt even finish it. It was really really watered down. Just awful. Yuck.

I'm hoping that now i'll be a bit more jovial, since i had a nice time out and about. So far today, things have been going well. Lets see if it continues...

Happy friday everyone!
