So today Gene and I had great plans to go see Step Brothers before noon. One of the theatres in the city has maintee on weekends before noon and the movies are only $5! Which is a huge discount because I think the evening movies these days cost around $8 or $9. Boy, I still remember when the matinee was like $3.50 back in the day. I miss those days!
So anyway, our plans were foiled when my mom called this morning, inviting us to breakfast with the family at Cracker Barrel. You betcha I nixed the plans of going to the movie because my family doesn’t go out to eat together very often and when they are all going, I drop everything I’m doing and go. She called in the morning and I told Gene when the phone rang that she was probably calling to invite us over for breakfast. How did I know this? Because of two reasons: 1) My mom doesn’t call me before noon on a weekend unless it is to invite us over for breakfast and 2) We had just finished eating our breakfast and Murphy’s Law states that if Gene and I just finish eating breakfast and the phone rings, it is most definitely my mom inviting us over for a ten times yummier breakfast than what we just finished.
So we had a wonderful brunch at Cracker Barrell with my Mom, Dad, Sister & her boyfriend. After brunch we headed to The Walmarts and did our grocery shopping. I wanna say it had been a week or two since we had been and we were running on the bare minimum. Yeah we have plenty of canned vegetables and cans of soup but who wants to eat that for breakfast? Not I! We needed all of the basics like milk, bread, Boca burgers, Lean Cuisine pizzas and apples!
After we left Walmart it was around 3 PM and I’m pretty sure the temperature outside was around 102° to 105°. We stopped at the snow cone hut down the street and picked up an Extra Large half Sugar Free Grape and half Sugar Free Tiger’s Blood with extra gummie bears. It was the perfect combination and oh so delicious! When we got home, the Squirrel I had previously had an encounter with on Saturday morning had reappeared in the front yard and so we watched it for a few minutes and then we both melted into a puddle on the front lawn we ran inside because it was so dadgum hot out there!
Tonight for dinner we had Morning Star veggie burgers, 2% Velveeta Shells & Cheese and Cheesy Garlic SALTY AS HECK Mashed Potatoes. Kinda sorta ruined the mashed potatoes. Oops.
