Pyramid Mall and Castaways

Hello again friends!

It's been a while since my last post. I'm still in Ithaca, NY adventuring when I can. My friends all have classes and exams so we haven't been out as much, but we're still having fun. I realized that I have not yet been to the mall, so they graciously took some time out of their studying to take me.



Here I am ready to go. I discovered that my friend's car had my name on the license plate frame! How spiffy is that?


This is me right outside of Target. The weather was nice that day, but I was more focused on exploring the mall.


Here I go!


We first stopped off at ACMoore, a pretty neat craft store. Two of my friends had to buy paint to finish up the wooden sculptures they were working on. Here I am perusing the paint quality and selection.


After that it was back to Target to walk around. I got thirsty so we stopped for an ICEE. This was my first time working the ICEE machine so I was a little nervous, not to mention the cup they got me was bigger than me! It all worked out fine though.

mmmm mmmm... refreshing...



Since it was getting a bit late we made a quick stop to Castaways, a bar nearby. My friends and I don't really drink, but my friends absolutely love the chicken wings here, so they make occasional visits to pick up some. There are so many flavors of chicken wings... I think that their goal is to try them all eventually. I took a quick picture outside but went inside right after because it was beginning to get a bit chilly.

Here I am at the bar looking all cool (like I belong there right?). We were actually just waiting for the wings to get out of the kitchen. The atmosphere of this bar was very nice. It was really low-key. They have live bands almost every night and although the music can get a little loud at times, you get used to it.


The best part about my mall adventure was that one of my friends bought me a computer! She was already nice enough to get me a chair and table that was my size, but a computer... wow. I was so excited that as soon as we got home we set up my new "office". Typing these blogs is so much easier now that the keys are my size.

Anyway, I hope to share more excitement with you soon. The semester is drawing to a close leaving me wondering what finals week(s) will mean to my friends. Personally, I'm definitely glad that I only sat in on classes and do not have to take the final exams. For those of you also going through exams, the best of luck.

Until next time,

LFM
