Monday – visiting with Jackie, Jake and Daniel

I had a great day hanging out with Jackie and Daniel. Jake had to go to work unfortunately. I had a slow start to the day after not being able to get to sleep last night. Stopped by Target to pick up some peanut butter M&Ms where I discovered I had left my wallet behind. At least we were close to home so it wasn’t a hassle to go back and get it. Lunch was In ‘n’ Out. Yum!!!

We then visited Downtown Disney so I could hit the Lego store in the hope of finally getting a Batman keyring to go with my Catwoman one. Sigh. I discovered the Batman line of key rings has been discontinued. So I bought a Darth Vader one instead. My first choice was Boba Fett but I wasn’t surprised when I was told they didn’t have any. I imagine he’s hugely popular.

It’s a Lego store. Of course I took photos.

Can’t decide if it’s meant to be a T-Rex or a robot.

An absolutely not to scale Lego Indiana Jones. Loved it!!!

We wandered around a little and I saw the most gorgeous shirt featuring Snow White and the Witch Queen. So I bought it. Never in a million years did I think that a) I’d buy something so obviously Disney and b) it’d be a cream coloured top. But it reminded me so much of James Jean’s covers for Fables I had to buy it. There was a t-shirt version of it but I decided to get the more stylised top. Need to get cream coloured singlet to wear underneath it. I’m not sure the style actually suits me but I’ve decided I don’t care.

The photo doesn’t do it justice. It’s the most delicate cream colour with branch detailing all over it.

We ended the day by going to Jake’s parents’ restaurant. His parents do southern style cooking, which means loads of spicy sauces and smoked – or pulled – meat. I had an extremely yummy sandwich with pulled beef, lettuce, tomato, onion, avocado and mayo. I’m sure it had something else in it but I can’t remember what. Doesn’t matter, it was delicious. I’m definitely a fan of southern style cooking but I can’t imagine it’s terribly good for you. But aren’t holidays meant to be about indulging yourself to a degree?

And speaking of indulging myself…
