Movie Adventure....Two Years in the Making....

Trips to the movies for Mom and I weren't frequent, but now and then she and I would see a movie or two by ourselves. That kinda stopped to a dead halt when we moved here though. Everything kinda stopped when we moved here. Like moving to her home town kinda just reinforced the sadness and depression of losing her Dad. I figured she come out of it in time.... It only got worse when we lost him though.

We finally made it out of the house for a fun non-appointment/errand related occasion. It's been more than two years since Mom went to a movie and the last time was the day before so I knew it might be hard. I woke up and half expected her to cancel on me like she'd done before. She was napping (the crazy lady wakes at like 4a.m.!) so I hopped in the shower to get ready. She musta heard me cuz while in the shower, I heard her taking stuff outta the bathroom. She was even gonna do her hair (as opposed to just clipping it up)! Cautiously optimistic...

After making her bed (clean sheet day) and finishing getting ready, we left with what we thought would be plenty of time to get tickets, pick up some Juice it Up smoothies, and some mini pizzas from the food court. Cautiously optimistic turned to cautiously excited.... We talked light heartily on the way while she was mainly focused on reading directions. No apparent freak outs was a good sign.

We got there ridiculously early (norm for us) but it seemed we were made even MORE ridiculously early as the theater no longer allowed outside food inside! Gasp! How can they have that rule? I mean Starbucks is a mere few feet away from the theater! Bleh. Anywho, as it was a Friday the lil shop stands/carts weren't open to help kill time. Ah well... And we'd left our books in the car cuz we admitted whenever we brought them before we never read them from lack of time or too much goofing. D'oh!

Got a large soda and medium popcorn to share and planned to visit the Juice it Up and pizza place as a take home treat after the movie. But alas we were too full-ish after to even bother and really enjoy it. Ah well. Next time. :-D

There was sooooo much action in that movie! I love all the Transformers movies. :-D The action. The music. The funnies.  :-D Love 'em all! And this one did not disappoint. I wanna see it again, cuz man there was just so much going on we like feel as if we missed stuff. Mom was like what no mention of the last girl? She musted blinked and missed the quickie mention the bots made. :-P Some very cool scenes in there! :-D

And then we came home having survived her first fun outing in over two years. I think I almost cried when I ran out of the theater to go get something after we had gotten our seats. Praise God for giving her the strength to make it out. :-) She says the next outing she wants to be with me and Dad. If Dad doesn't mind, I would like the three of us to go out for a meal or something. :-) It'd be kinda nice. We'll see. All in time... Hurray for now and ta ta!
