Blueberries and Red October

Yesterday we went blueberry picking. We picked around 10 pounds, which cost 15 dollars. The blueberries are very sweet.

My aunt from Wisconsin is staying with us. Yesterday Mom, my aunt, and I went to the mall. My aunt needed to buy a wedding gift for my cousin, who’s getting married this evening. She bought it at Macy’s (if I ever get married – which I’m not planning on – I’ll register at Wal-Mart and Target :p) and we looked through clothes for a while (well, I did some, and then stood around while they did). But before that, we went to a bookstore We bought the third book in The Circle Trilogy to complete the set for a birthday gift for another aunt, who’s coming on Monday. I had the first two in great condition because I bought them, borrowed the third from a friend, and then bought the three-in-one edition (it’s hardback. How could I resist? ). I got a 2009 Prince Caspian calendar.

We went to a grocery store and my aunt bought ingredients for the dinner that she and my brother made – grilled salmon, grilled chicken, grilled shrimp-and-veggie kabobs, and squash souffle. We hardly ever buy/make any of that except for the veggies. It was good, although the salmon had a somewhat strange flavor I didn’t care for. I think it’s because it was marinated in wine (at the store). I usually like salmon. Mom made blueberry crisp.

After dinner we watched The Hunt for Red October. It’s a little boring. There’s way too much cussing to watch it without the profanity filter, and even with the filter, you could sometimes tell what they said by the movement of their lips (and no, I /wasn’t/ trying :p) or by reading the captions it puts up (exluding the cuss word) when muting the sentence, so I stopped reading them. The muter does help. You usually can’t tell what they’re saying by watching them – this movie has a few unfortunate exceptions. Overall, without the cussing, I like it, but not enough to watch over and over again.

I should stop rambling…sorry.

Have an amazing rest of your life!
