Stranded!!

Last Monday, the ever helpful Blaze went out of her way and gave me (and the kid) a lift out to Pembroke (bill paying - yay!) and she would have given us a ride home were it not for the long line (boo!). Assuring her we'd be fine, she still made me call Kyle for a ride, but our communication got crossed so he did not understand my request for a pick up around 9-10pm (which would have been several hours of waiting for the kid and I). I called the also ever helpful Mom but got her voicemail. Not deterred, I told Blaze to go ahead with her plans since she was meeting someone and I did not want to be the reason she would have been late. Of course it would turn out the long line was also a fast line and we were served after about 10 minutes.

Luckily we were right across the street from Pembroke Mall (which was where I was planning on waiting anyway), so after a quick hop across multiple lanes of traffic (safely, might I add) Isaac and I were inside and on the hunt for a pay phone. My plan had possibly included a movie depending on when we could get a ride, but 50 cents and a pay phone call later we had arrangements with my mom to be picked up in 30 minutes. We ended up with enough time to browse the mall, look at toys in Kohl's and most importantly enjoy some ice cream.

Walking around the mall enjoying a Birthday Cake ice cream cone. Isaac being a kid got a little extra ice cream on his and being Isaac he told the server 'that's enough.' so I had to tell him that there's no such thing as enough when it comes to ice cream, especially if we're paying by the cone.

This is what you get when you ask Isaac for more of a smile...extra cheese!
