I had such a great day today, you’d think it was my<\/em> birthday. We slept in, then went to the AMC to see The Bourne Ultimatum<\/em>. You should see the theatre we were in – it was massive! I don’t think I’ve ever been in a larger movie theatre in all my life. Joe speculated it could seat 1000 people. There were quite a lot of people there for the first showing of the day (10:30 am) too. I was thinking don’t these people have jobs? <\/p>\n

I have a love hate relationship with AMC’s concessions. I love their popcorn but I hate their prices. We got a combo for $7.50 and I swear I’ve never seen a smaller sized popcorn or pop in my life. Luckily they have a special you can add a hot dog for $1 if you buy a combo, so Joe got that too. I didn’t eat much really, just a bit of the popcorn and a small bite of the hot dog.<\/p>\n

I froze my butt off in the theatre, but it was worth it to look good for my sweetheart. I wore the new top I bought at New York & Co. when we were in Indianapolis. It’s sleeveless, low-cut, and clings to all the right places, which Joe was super happy about. He kept commenting how hot I looked all day! I love that he notices that stuff even after nearly seven years together. <\/p>\n

The movie wasn’t the best of the Bourne series, and it raised questions that never really got explained, but I think maybe they are trying to keep it open for yet another movie. <\/p>\n

We walked around the Super Target across the street after the movie and I bought some more clothes. I am clothes crazy lately. I don’t know why I’m turning into such a girl now. I think maybe because I really enjoy looking good for Joe. It’s not like he doesn’t pay attention to me otherwise, so I really can’t explain it. I just like buying clothes and jewelry and even makeup. I got some new earrings and pink nail polish today. Pink! Yes, I like that color now. So weird.<\/p>\n

After Target we tried a new-to-us place called Al’s Italian Beef. I don’t recommend their beef (go to Portillo’s instead), but their tamale boat is yummy! It’s two tamales covered in cheese, onions, and their bean-less chili.<\/p>\n

For dinner we went to Red Lobster. I ordered the Ultimate Feast which comes with crab legs, lobster tail, shrimp scampi, and fried shrimp. I gotta say, I wasn’t feeling the love for the crab legs (too fishy tasting) or the lobster (rather blah without the butter). I don’t get the appeal. And frankly, while I am a meat eater through and through, I felt rather sorry for the lobster I was consuming. The crab legs too. I felt guilty, probably because the way it’s served makes it really hit home you’re consuming something that not long ago was alive. So that was a bit of a downer. Our service was great, however (as always), and the meal was only $40 which was paid for with our last gift card, so that was nice too.<\/p>\n

When we got home, well, let’s just say Joey had a very nice birthday. ;) He looked super handsome today too. He was wearing a new shirt in a shade of blue he hasn’t worn before and I just wanted to jump him all day long. I couldn’t stop reflecting on how lucky I am to be with him. In my past relationships I often felt I was too good for the guy I was with, but with Joe sometimes I feel like I don’t deserve such a wonderful husband. He’s just amazing. He is 100% supportive of everything I do and so patient and caring it often blows my mind. I hope he had as wonderful of a day as I did. I love you always, hon!
