Day Two at James and Cecilia's: I was greeted this morning by a muddy puppy. Oh puppy kisses. Morning breath is hopefully not as bad as poopy-puppy-breath. I don't think I could ever get used to that! But Ameila is sweet, so it was all good. It was time for breakfast, so we went to IHOP. The weirdest thing happened there. I always overhear things in loud places because I don't talk (add to the noise) and I sometimes give the people my two-cents. The lady at the table next to me did that today! I was complaining about an awkward situation and when I stopped talking she said, "He's keeping his options open." At first I thought she just said something at exactly the right moment that their conversation matched up with ours. That happens all the time. People say things that fit in and it can be comical. But I looked over at her and she was looking back at me. She meant to say it. She was listening in on my conversation! We ended up talking for a while, it was weird because I had four adults telling me I should stop doing a thing that they all deemed "too nice." I don't think it's that bad, but I may be having an awkward conversation with a friend soon. I don't see what the problem is with being cordial. We are still friends, do I have to tell him to get lost? After that, we checked to see if the gun range was open. It was in fact, but the place was super crowded. Since its right after Christmas, I'm sure lots of people were trying out their new "arms." You see, when kids get shot in a school and the news starts talking about gun legislation, everyone starts buying guns. This proved to be true when we went to Cabela's. I saw a woman who had to be at least 65 holding a gun. It was a bummer that we didn't go shooting, but on the bright side, Cabela's had an aquarium which was fun to look at!
The weather wasn't great today and you can only play so much pool before you start to go stir crazy. But there really wasn't anything to do. Cecilia and I went out to get an afternoon snack from Lee's Grilled Cheese, but when we walked inside, they told us it was a private party and they wouldn't be open until tomorrow. What kind of business has a "Now Open" sign outside, unlocked front doors, food ready to be served and doesn't serve willing to pay customers standing inside the shop?!
Upset by their false advertisement and poor business practices, we went to Panera Bread. I've never been there until today, but I've heard lots of good things. I still wanted a grilled cheese with tomato soup because cold weather does that to me, so that's what I ordered - with a cinnamon roll for dessert!
Can you guess what we did next? Played pool! I had a great weekend with you guys! I love you and I'll see ya next year!
