HILLBILLY BUFFET and gifts for the Grandbaby

We decided to take the kids out to eat last night at the Hillbilly Buffet (also known as Sams Club) ... but all of the samples were gone by the time we got there.  We ended up eating Taco Bell, as if we really needed to replenish the Oompas' fuel tanks!  The truck sounded like a broken tuba and smelled like a landfill.  Those kids were leaking from both ends and it was rank!  As hot as it was, we had to turn off the air conditioner and open all the windows just so we could breath.

The heat of the night just intensified my irritability and made me very cross.  I was sticking to myself and it felt positively icky.  It was sweltering.  Supposedly it was only 70 degrees yesterday, but that didn't include the 'wind still factor', which is the increased heat that just hangs in the air when there is no breeze to move it around and cool it down.  It may only have been 70 degrees but it felt like 100!  On a positive note, maybe if I sweat enough I'll lose some weight.

Or maybe it was just the full moon that had me all off kilter.  What ever it was, it has passed, which is a good thing because I was in good enough spirits to resist kneeing Dickidoo in a tender spot when he wouldn't wake up this morning to turn off the dang blasted alarm clock he had set for the ridiculous hour of 4 am, and I settled instead to just kick his leg instead.  And when the kids asked to eat the left over tacos for breakfast I happily gave my permission, after all, they will be at school when their systems finish processing the ingredients and start releasing the excess built up pressure and all of the wonderful fragrances that go along with it.  So long as they get it out of their systems before I get home from work they can eat what ever they want!

I sent a little green Easter Bunny to my grandson yesterday.  I wanted to send a real bunny but didn't think the critter would appreciate the trip.  I am beginning to understand why some grandparents who frequent my store always seem to go over board on gifts for their grandkids.  I used to roll my eyes when they would fuss over buying a Valentines Day or Saint Patrick's Day present.  Saint Patrick's Day present?  Saint Patrick's Day is for the wearing of the green, pinches, corned beef and cabbage... and BEER!  You don't give each other gifts... unless its BEER!  But now... now I'm beginning to understand, and I find myself just as guilty of trying to finding a reason, no matter how small, to spoil my little Grandbaby... whom I will get to meet and hold in just under a month's time!
