Three Bags Full - of chocolate
Ha-HA! I don't HAVE to post. I can just post because I FEEL like it.
Guess what? Today didn't suck. Today I went for a walk with Pam and we stopped at Brown's Cleaners to pick up the Sears package that I had left languishing there for many weeks solely because I hate having to face the sourpuss counter lady. Well, not solely - I also forget things a lot. Then we went to the bank because Pam needed a new bank card. I went up to the counter with her and we were chatting with the teller and I wondered briefly if she assumed we were a couple, because once when Eve was at dance I went to Best Buy with Janis, whose daughter was also at dance, to buy a tv for Matt's man cave, and the young man selling it to us obviously thought we were a couple, which was hilarious because this is Janis:
See? WAAAAAAYYYYYY out of my league.
Then we went home and dressed up nice and went out for lunch with Julie, near the Museum of Science and Technology where Julie works. We went to this restaurant, and the dish I had was called Silly Noodle (anyone who spends any significant amount of time with me might think I would have done better to look for a dish called Serious Noodle, or Contemplative Noodle, or Stop With the Incessant Giggling and the Overuse of the Word Whatever Noodle, but whatever). Then Julie told us that beside the McDonald's which is near the Museum is a Lindt Store.
A Lindt Store. A store that ONLY SELLS CHOCOLATE. I tried not to visibly shake with excitement while we were walking in. I got more chocolate to add to the teacher gifts, which I then realized were already chocolate. Oh well. I bought one Lindt champagne truffle because I've never seen one so I figured I should try it (I haven't tried it yet). Pam and I both spent about the same amount (which shall not be revealed here) which the sales guy remarked was good because then we couldn't judge each other. As if.
I came home and did a little work. The kids got home and I helped them practice piano and got dinner started. Then I realized I was still dressed nicely and grumbled at the kids for not noticing. Dudes! You've been home for two hours and I'm STILL WEARING A BRA - get with the compliments already! They were dutiful, if not terribly convincing.
Now we're going to watch The Muppets Take Manhattan. Because that movie last week has created an unquenchable demand for Muppet content. And in this one Kermit wears disguises.
Happy END OF NOVEMBER. Also, let's observe that I didn't swear even ONCE in this post.

I love Muppets Take Manhattan. I am unspeakably sad that my kids have zero interest in seeing the new Muppets movie.
glad i was part of such a great day!
Wish my kids would see the muppet movie too. I think I'll go anyway and talk so much about it tha the kids will wish they went.
Allison and I would make a cute couple, except we'd fight too much over the last chocolate.
If either of you were so inclined.
I just back read to find out about the movie. It's good? Excellent! We love the Muppets but the girls were hesitant because as Mid said, "I can't trust anything made after Jim Henson died." I will pass it on.
That Lindt store sounds dangerous.
