Fun Night

First of all...OMG Mexican...OMG yum!!!! We went to Azteca for dinner. I had a coupon for buy one entree, get one free, so even better. Absolutely phenomenal strawberry margaritas...beef enchiladas with rice and refried beans...and even though I was full, fried ice cream for dessert. Had to have it.

So so sooooooooo good. I haven't had Mexican food that good in God knows how long.

Enchanted was a very cute movie. But it was also full of a lot of kids who talked through the movie and played around on their cellphones. Distracting.

We went to Target between dinner and the movie, and Ruby bought Across the Universe, which I knew almost nothing about, except that the entire soundtrack was remakes of Beatles songs. She invited me to stay at her place and watch the movie since her daughters were home and they wanted to watch it. So I stayed.

It was pretty weird in parts, but all in all, a pretty amazing film. Normally, I would be against anyone touching Beatles songs...why mess with perfection? But it was so very well done.

I came home a short while ago to four increasingly frantic phone messages from my Mom, probably imagining me dead on the living room floor or something. When we had talked earlier, I had no plans for this evening, so she wasn't expecting me not to answer the phone. She was practically crying by the 4th message, so despite it being 3:30 am in Ohio, I called her to reassure her that I'm fine. Now I wonder if she has Lance's cellphone number. If she did, she could've just called him and he would've told her where I was. For that matter, she could've called my cellphone...she should have my cell number (I remember giving it to her). I'll tell her that when I call her again in the morning.

Awwwww...I love my mom and how she worries about me. But I also hate that she gets so worried like that that she gets upset when I'm not where I am expected to be.

Anyway, I should try and sleep now, but I'm still a bit wound up.

(no subject)

Feeling a bit rough today, as I didn't sleep well last night and spent a good chunk of my morning/early afternoon on the phone.

But I got pretty much everything accomplished that I wanted to do today. It wasn't much.

I went to my hair salon/beauty supply store. They were having their anniversary celebration today, so everything in the store was 20% off, plus they had a lot of other specials besides. I wanted to get a little Easter gift for a friend (it's what we do...just exchange small, inexpensive things for pretty much every holiday) and I found a nice little beauty gift for her in there. And it was so cheap that I got one for myself. :)

Then I went to Target to see about cobbling together a different interview outfit for Monday's interview. They didn't have any career separates that I really felt were affordable at this time, so I think I am going to stick with my first instinct, which was to wear a black floral print skirt with my black jacket. I just needed an appropriate top to wear underneath my jacket and some black pantyhose. So I got those at Target, and an extra pair of hose for good measure.

Looked around the clothing section some more, and was tempted to get a few things. But I'll wait. *IF* I get a job offer on Monday, then I will buy clothes. Work clothes will come first, and then regular clothes. I just don't have many of either at the moment.

Got a few other things, including a couple more gifts to include in my friend's package, and then went to the cashier and left.

Decided to stop into the pet store just to see the animals. It was there that a cockatiel became oddly smitten with me. He didn't like me watching the lovebirds in the cage beneath him (one of them was being funny and hiding underneath the cage liner and playing peek a boo). He kept knocking his beak against the glass to get my attention, and when he did so, he started doing a little dance, bobbing up and down, flapping his wings, and kicking his feet. This repeated over and over again...anytime I looked away from him, he would knock his beak against the glass until I was looking at him and start his dance all over again.

It was so cute and hilarious. I had to text Lance right then and there and tell him about it. Had I $100 + extra for cage and food, I would've taken him home. He no doubt would've given me hours of entertainment, and he would keep me company while Lance is gone. I used to have birds, but I never had a cockatiel.
