Ok, so we were trying to figure out what to do. There wasn't much of interest going on. We were going to go see the movie, Femme Fatal, but didn't. (Luckily enough from what I hear, since it's supposed to be a stinker) We all ate dinner at Perkins and after, ended up loading up into the car and heading out to Gameworks in Ybor instead.
We had fun. It was Kali, Rand, my Love and I. I actually ordered a drink for myself - and drank all of it - for the first time ever. (I just don't drink. I've had a winecooler here or there at home, but nothing more then that) I ordered a foo-foo (but really yummy) drink called an "All American." It's like a daquari of sorts, with a blueberry smoothie at the bottom, whipped cream, then a layer of strawberry smoothie, topped off with more whipped cream and spiked with 2 shots of Baccardi light rum. It was pretty tasty. I'll have to get it next time we go back. :)
So we all played games and I got really into this fun thing where it's like a modern-day "whack-a-mole" only with a flat screen and a mallet you use to smack at things darting around the screen. It's one of the games that gives out tickets. See, they have some games that are just games and then they have games that give out tickets which you use to get trinkets and items from their prize center. Anyway, I was really good at it and I even got the 100 ticket jackpot bonus one of the times. :)
We played so many different ticket games that I couldn't even hold them all in my hands. So when we finally turned them in, we had like 1050 of them. We went and looked at what we could find and I fell in love with the sillest little lamp. The lamp was 1200 so I played the game a few more times (that's when I got the 100 ticket jackpot) and ended up with 1246 tickets. Borrowed four from Rand and got myself the lamp and my Love a cute little surfboard keychain. (he has a matching larger sized one we got the last time around). We had a ton of fun. It was a great night. The only thing that was just weird was that I got some mild heartburn from the rum. *lol*

So Rand, my Love and I weren't feeling good. Everyone but Kali - who has the worst stomach ever - was sick to their stomachs. My Love and I didn't feel so good and didn't feel much like doing anything short of going back to sleep, but Rand's mother had invited us to a dinner and so we went over for the meal. We had a nice dinner with them and some friends of the family and then came back home to rest. Joolo was supposed to come over and was waiting for us in the parking lot when we got there. Rand came over for a bit, they played some more NHL Hitz on the Xbox, and then we watched Angel. Jef went to work, Rand went home and we called it a night.

Yesterday was Veteran's Day, so my Love took a half-day and we went down to his Grandfather's grave for the first time since the funeral. There were a lot of people around there since it's a Veteran's cemetary. Spent a little time there and then went to go get some lunch.
We headed downtown since we were out that way and had some lunch and walked around a bit. Got some ice cream from the Ben & Jerry's shop and then headed on home. We had a pretty quite evening, we watched a dvd (the second half of Star Trek: Insurection that we started the other night, but that my Love fell asleep on). We headed over to the 24-hour Super Wal-mart after that because we needed some things and looked at the different movies scheduled to come out in a little less then an hour. (We were there at like 11pm and all the releases go out on the shelves at 12:01am) We were looking to see their price for the newly released Highlander: Season 1 boxed set (YEAH!) but we didn't stick around long enough to get it. (luckily enough, because Rand went today and they didn't have it yet at all)
I stayed up and cleaned up the house, took a shower and finally made it to bed at about 5am. Which brings us to today...
