Kool Aid

I used to love Kool Aid as a kid, as long as it was Cherry or Black Cherry. These days I’ve been drinking iced tea and I’ve become a bit tired of it day in and day out. Yesterday I was at the grocery store and I saw that Kool Aid was on sale so I picked up a couple of packets. Yum Yum

Happy Mother’s Day

Today I’m taking Mom out to eat at her favorite restaurant – The Golden Corral. We’re going to go around 3pm, hoping to beat the biggest crowds. What Mom loves about The Golden Corral is that it is an all-you-can-eat buffet that actually has good tasting food! And she loves being able to take just a little bit of this and a little bit of that, instead of having to order from a menu and being limited to only three things on your plate. The only thing I don’t like about going to an all-you-can-eat buffet is that you can’t bring leftovers home! I never feel like we get our money’s worth! Mom always brings a plastic food storage bag with her so she can tuck a dinner roll or two in her purse to take home! I’m always afraid that someone will accuse her of stealing, but luckily no one has yet!  I wonder how many other people do that!

Alice

I took the afternoon off and took my two nieces to the movies to see the new Alice in Wonderland movie. They enjoyed it, I though it was OK, but nothing to brag about. Johnny Depp does a wonderful job, as always, but there just seemed to be something missing that I just can’t put my finger on.

I’m glad that they enjoyed it and that we got to spend the afternoon together. After the movies I took them to the Burger Kind that has the kids playground inside, which let them burn off some of that energy that most kids are blessed with!

Where’s The Beef?

I just love being able to turn to You Tube to find the best music and video clips ever. I was looking around the other day and stumbled onto the commercial “Where’s The Beef?” Check it out, it still makes me laugh after all these years!

 

Garth Brooks

A good friend of mine has the opportunity to get his hands on a handful of Garth Brooks tickets and has invited me to come along for the ride to Las Vegas come February 13. Sounds good to me, I haven’t been to any type of concert in quite some time and I’m certainly due at this point. Garth Brooks is known for putting on a good show and is very popular down this a way in the grand state of Texas.

This friend of mine is known for always coming up with the best Ceasars Palace Tickets and TD Banknorth Garden Tickets every now and then, so this came as a surprise since Garth Brooks will be performing at the Encore Theater this time around. But Vegas will do nicely in my book and I’m looking forward to getting away from the house and having a good time with a couple of friends for a long weekend.

Saturday, February the 13th is the day before Valentine’s day and since I’m not seeing anyone seriously at this point in time I have no need to stick around town and I’m sure there will be plenty of other things to keep us entertained for the rest of the weekend besides the concert. The food, the drinks, the gambling, all of the pretty women, it’s all good!
