So...once again, it's the weekend and time for the randomness that is my brain.
  Didn't do the cleaning I planned today, but did get the tools for it. Also I hurt my hands even more trying to do dishes yesterday. Still just sticking to folding laundry. These hand braces do help, but they don't make it go away.
  We went out and about today. Went by Pizza Hut. We ordered a family meal thingy, 1lg pizza and a crapload of breadsticks with drinks. For us getting just one pizza is hard. I almost always want either taco pizza or Meatlovers. He's not into taco pizza at all. He can't eat italian sausage, or any kind for some reason. If we buy plain ground pork, I can make biscuits and gravy, but if it's seasoned...Uh oh! So the nice waitress lady, I loved her, she said well you can have it half. I says wow really? I only didn't think they would because of the way a taco pizza is made. I worked in the restaraunt business for a long time, normally it doesn't bother me to ask for things like this. So we order half taco and half supreme with absolutely no sausage on it. The kids loved the breadsticks. They brought out more than I thought they would. Kids pigged out on those. My pizza comes. Yes, I said mine. Yeah, we did order a half and half but mine came out first. Apparently the nice waitress lady pushed the wrong button on the micros (it's a specialized computer thingy for restaraunts, makes it easier on cooks who can't read waitress writing) and well, I get half a taco pizza. What did he get, you ask? He got a WHOLE large supreme pizza. Damn it all! I wish the woulda gave me the whole taco and him half a supreme. I don't like peppers on my pizza! Let me tell ya about the nice waitress lady. We had some coupons we get in the mail every month. So we were figuring out what we wanted. That lady was adding up the specials they had and what was on the menu to figure what was the best deal for us. LMAO! I have to tell you, this really is rare in wait staff. You see, the more you pay, the higher the tip to the waitress is supposed to be. It doesn't really bother me when they don't do that for ya, because I know why they do it. A waitress here is paid 2.50 with micros expirience. The rest is tips. This is almost like depending on the charity of others. Some of it depends on how good you are and being nice. However there are cheap assholes who don't see why they should pay the waitress since the restaraunt does. There are some old fogies around here who think 2¢s is the ultimate compliment. Leave 2 pennies on the table tells her she was awesome. HELLOO! 2¢s don't pay the bills. They think they are doing great when really they aren't. Hell half the tourists that come down are these old fogies. Enough about that. If your waiter/tress gets your drinks and food you tip 15% as long as the food isn't cold and they are not rude. Above and beyond that should be atleast 20%. Of course this is relative. If the place is really slow, you should be waited on damn near hand and foot. You know, dirty plates off the table, refill glass when empty, etc. Don't go overboard on that. If the place is full, don't expect anything more than your food and drink. If you get them in a timely matter, trust me that she deserves 30% or more. If a place is full and you get stuff in a timely manner, that means she is quicker than the others and got your order to the kitchen damn near as soon as you gave it to her. These are the miracle workers, pay them like you mean it. Trust me that most people will not tip well as they expect hand and foot treatment even when the place is packed. Ok, enough about that, We left her over 20% and we were the only table. It was plenty.
  Went to the shoe store at the outlet mall. Hubby got new sneakers...needs them for work. Me, I wanted new sandals as my old ones are worn out and hurt my feet.
  Went to the BOOK STORE! Shoved the kids with hubby into the kids section. I went off to find the appropriate books. Which, of course, can mean any kind it just has to catch my eye. Can you believe I struck out in the damn bookstore? ME?! Not a thing. They had hardback bestsellers on sale for buy 2 get #3 for $1. Oh, Oh not only that, but they were between $4 and $6. Oh yeah, I struck out! Somebody shoot me now. I have lost my ability to choose books. I went through the whole store. So sad. Everyone together now 'aaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwww'. We did get 2 box book sets. For kiddies. They were 4 books, 4 mini color pages, 4 puzzles in each box. They are those thick cardboard ones for toddlers. One set is backyard animals, one is sea animals. I had a pic, but for some reason my camera is only taking fuzzy ones. Hmm. Steven had such fun walking from store to store to car. Yeah, we only hit two of them. If it were my choice we'd have taken all day. You know the kitchen store was in between the car and the bookstore. I tried to go there twice. It takes me hours to get through a small kitchen store. I know, I'm so bad!
  We went to target. WooHoo! yeah Target! You know, the only reason I prefer it over the others isn't any prices or deals, it's that they have bras that fit me and do not dig into my skin. Nor do I magically pop out of them! I love target! (refer to this post) I do so love stores with so many things I like. No sandals for me here either, but I did come close. There was this boys size 6 pair of sandals that almost fit me. My toes reached the end of the shoe. Guys on the average must have really big feet or something. There was no size 7 in those, so no shoes for me. But, we did get the boys matching sandals for this summer. Got make your own picture magnets kit thingy. Great things for mother's day etc. Gotta find me the right pic for bill's stepmother. She's really nice, she sent me a sweet little birthday card. You know, she likes me and is not rude. That's enough to make me wanna worship the ground she walks on. LMAO! Well, I do like her and even though his dad died, I do try to keep her up on what the boys do and stuff. I was looking through the books at target. JACKPOT! Yeah, I got not one, but two new books today. They are Harry Potter numbers 4 and 5. Goblet of Fire and The Order of the Phoenix. My anticipation is building. You're lucky you're getting this post out of me. I will be treasuring these for a long time. Also, bonus the kids will eventually love Harry Potter too. Bonus treasure from target today: A 3cd set titled "Rockin' 80s". I picked that up only because I'd never seen an 80's set before. I wanted to know who and what was on it. Can you guess????
  I will make you wait! Bwaahaahaa, or however that goes. Someone must tell me how to get the songs to be on my website. I know how to get them onto my puter, I will need to know how to put them on and prevent them from being copied or whatever. I have to tell you, the first song on it told me $9.99 was worth the cds. Yes, I would have paid it just for this one song. One cannot have too much of Quiet Riot "Come on Feel the Noize". I have only heard it lately because it came up once on my YIM Launchcast. Now, I can play it whenever I want to. So, I will devote one paragraph to each cd. Only to lessen my confusion as to where I'm at on the list.

  Now I don't know about you, but I only recognize about half the songs and/or artists. Keep in mind the title of the song is first the artist is second. I will be listening to see if I recognize them all. How many do you 'know' that you know? As soon as someone helps me to figure out how to get the song onto a post, I'll be letting you find out for yourself if you recognize any of the songs. Happy listening people.
  Oh yeah, the cartoons. I slept in, missed the early ones. Dragon Booster was a rerun. Spent that time cruising my favorite blogs. I especially love the 'Sparkling Glitter Rainbow Ponies' blog, don't you? LMAO {wink wink} I don't know who talks more about their sex life, Zelda or Tina. We are now biding time until the new Full Metal Alchemist at 10:30pm central time on cartoon network. I have to say this new Zatch Bell cartoon is interesting. It's on now. I'll probably watch One Piece again. It's odd, so it fascinates me for the time being. Nothing better on anyway.
  The name of the game today is ITCHY, IT FUCKING ITCHES! the goal to win the game is not to scratch. Being as I don't have 'girly' stuff, hubby had to bring me unscented body lotion. He brought me Vitamin E skin cream. I did read the label and it said it was a decent lotion too. Well, not for tattoos it's not. It gets gunky. After showering and getting the gunk crap off today, that stuff gets gunky pretty quick, I noticed my skin was peeling. Oh, no I'm sure we ain't supposed to do that. At target I picked up this nice magical stuff. Baby Magic All Day Moisturizing Creamy Baby Oil. with Aloe and Vitamins. I thought, well it's for babies, the label says technically it's not really baby oil, it just works like it. It's not oily at all, I have to say. Moisturized me up pretty quick. My tattoo is absorbing the hell out of it...no more gunky. Yeah, I know it's not a word, it's my describer for it, you figure it out. The label says 'moisturizes like baby oil without the greasy feel'. We are not as peely looking now. Today is day 9 of the 10 day regimen. Well technicallyy 8 ½. Soon won't have to worry about it anymore. I will make sure it doesn't get dry any time soon. I think I'll use this baby magic stuff as a lotion after showers on a regular basis. It's nice.
  That's all for now. Happy Cartooning! Don't forget to keep the kiddie cartoons in your life, it's fun! |
