Michelle’s birthday was on the 8th so she really needed to come over so we could do something about that. She came over today. I took her out to the mall and let her pick out a shirt and she found one of Alice in Wonderland, the Disney version, at Hot Topic with the Cheshire Cat on it. The mall closed so we had to go to Target and I got her Guitar Hero II for PS2, because it was in the budget section of video games. I told her she could pick out another item of clothing or a toy and she decided to get something she could play with. I think that’s cool.

We went to Apple Bee’s for dinner and for a change it wasn’t really bad. I gave her the choice of three restaurants, which was Apple Bee’s, Olive Garden, and Steak & Shake. I’m really glad she didn’t pick Steak & Shake I go there too often as it is. The server was really awesome and brought extra sauce for the boneless wings and my chicken salad without me having to ask for it. Michelle got chicken penne and we learned that it is pronounced the same as “penny”. Learn something new every day.

We came home and played Rock Band 2. Patty and Eddy came downstairs to watch. They had to go to bed after midnight though, which I didn’t know how late it was, because the cable box is actually broken. It just gets stuck on boot up and the message on the screen says “APP”. They will be out Tuesday to fix that. Michelle is getting really good at guitar. She’s up to Hard, and getting 90% on all the songs we played, so she might just be ready for the expert difficulty real soon.

Tomorrow is Easter, so all the kids will be getting a basket. I have to drive Michelle home after that, so the weekend will be cut extremely short. I didn’t know she was going to have to leave so soon. I thought I would get more time.
