Thursday was Mom and Dad's 32nd Wedding Anniversary!!! Go Mom and Dad!
I had to work again in the morning and today I had a meeting early so had to leave the house by 6:30 and had to stay a little late as well so didn't get home until almost 1:00. By that time everyone was starving and we had a nice left-overs lunch. After lunch we got in the car and headed over the the Southeast Salvage store... A huge store down here that has all sorts of home "stuff" a lot cheaper than you can get in other stores. Tom and I bought cabinet hardware there several months ago for 2 handles for $1.85 so Mom wanted to go check it out for her kitchen... Unfortunately, there was no cheap ones there. It seems everything that Mom thought was neat was the only stuff in the store that was actually expensive. Last time they came down they got the oriental rug in their dining room for like $100. Oh well, can't win them all...
We then went across the street to the Sears Outlet store and my Dad scored big with a new gas chain saw for $87 that was originally $200!! That's my kind of shopping!! After the big shopping day we went back the house and had a nice relaxing couple of hours before we went out to dinner.

Since it was Mom and Dad's Anniversary, Tom and I wanted to take them out for a real nice dinner. We took them to Maggiano's for family style Italian. We definately ate our weight in food. For anyone who's never been there it's a kind of fancy resteraunt but you can order family style so they keep bringing you seconds when you finish and you get to box up and take home any of the leftovers. When dinner was over they brought our dessert out with a pink and blue candle in the cheesecake and 4 glasses of champainge. (I gave mine to Tom :) The pink candle blew out before it got to the table so Tom thinks that is a sign... maybe it will be a little boy?
I of course made Mom and Dad toast to their anniversary and kiss but my camera was slow and didn't get the kiss... but this is cute too!
Here is Tom carrying out all of our leftovers, I think the one bag weighed about 5lbs!!! He ate a whole teirmassue by himself and then talked the waitress into bringing a third piece over to the table for him to take home... We had a great time and a great dinner and I am sure that Mom and Dad agree. It was a tough drive home having to sit in the car with a seatbelt on with that full of a belly, but we got home and changed into comfy clothes and watched some Law and Order before we all went to bed in a food coma.
