So we did go out. But not before witnessing another "neighbor of the year" celebration. The people across the street like to have the firemen come out. Maybe they like the red flashy lights. Who knows. But apparently April 11 is a day worthy of fire works...
Sorry it's not the best picture... but trust me. It was loud and obnoxious. Thankfully we were headed out for the evening and we missed the rest of the show.
First we headed to Olive Garden. I've heard so many people say "Olive Garden is my favorite restaurant." Poop. lol, I guess I am just one to disagree on this. We paid over $30 for undercooked, greasy pasta. I do love the salad and bread sticks, but I have yet to experience a delicious meal from this restaurant.
I got the cheese stuffed pansotti and chicken (the new pyramid shaped pasta). The chicken was comparable to something I could buy at a cafateria, the sauce was completely separated, and the pasta had either sat out too long, or was not cooked, because it was a tad bit crunchy. And... the waitress spilled my drink every time she set it down. I know that's not really food related. But it is annoying. Oh well. Brandan really likes going there, and I can't complain too much if I don't have to cook, OR do dishes... but I think I would rather cook. I don't mind bad service, if the food is good. And if the food is just ok, but the service is great, I and good with that as well. But if both suck, I'm only going to tip 15% (coming from some one who usually tips a bit more).
Ok, enough of that soap box. I (still) don't like Olive Garden.
After B-man's Delicious dinner (he has lasagna... it was good) we went to Target to purchase our contraband.
I always like to have something to snack on at the movies, and it was a late movie! I went with the coca-cola gummies, and B-man got Reese's candy. Go figure!
Here's B-man gearing up to watch Alice in Wonderland.
I had heard quite a few people say that they did not care for the movie, I on the other hand thought it was a pretty good movie. The story is good, and it's a different view of Alice in Wonderland - the cartoon version. It does have some tense parts in it, but it was not a scary movie, and there was only one part where I covered my eyes, but it turned out to be for naught. B-man, who was expecting a kiddo movie was pleasantly surprised, and said that he thoroughly enjoyed it. It is not as weird as some of Tim Burton's other movies.
As we left Hannah Montana fans were lining up to see her newest movie. Oh boy.
Now it's off to bed! Tomorrow I am going to go watch the middle schoolers give their presentations that they (and I) have been working so hard on! Yippee!
So tell me... do you like Olive Garden? What is your favorite restaurant of ALL TIME!?!?
I would also like to know, have you seen Alice in Wonderland? What did you think of it?
