Are there even words to describe this one?

06 Oct

We usually stop to eat in Statesville when we travel between Knoxville and Sanford.  Last night was no different…one of my favorite meals is Cracker Barrel’s Homestyle Chicken and during most of the year it’s only available on Sundays.  Since we don’t have a CB locally, I rarely get to indulge in this most delicious meal!  I decided we should eat dinner at the CB in Statesville so I could get some deep fried chicken…mmmmmmmmmmmm.

And driving up to Cracker Barrel, I saw this at another restaurant there.  This is not a joke.  I really did take this photo, and it really does say that.  No, we did not go in and see if they were serious.

Really?  REALLY???  I’m no prude.  I’ve been to Hooters a time or two myself.  But the very idea of taking my children there (and I’m assuming the “kids” eating free would be under 12) simply seems absurd.  I really have nothing to say other than that because I’m pretty speechless.

Blogging in bed!

06 Oct

I have finally gotten my hands on a laptop (thanks to my brother…it’s really for the business, but I had to get it connected and set up!) and I’m laying in my bed, watching the DVRed episode of Pushing Daisies that I taped while I was visiting my mom last week.  (What is up with Chuck’s “silky intimates?”  Who wears stuff like that on a normal basis?)

This is not quite as comfy as I expected it to be…the computer is sitting on my belly, resting on my knees and Violet apparently doesn’t like it.  Laptop users, if you use it in bed, how do you get comfortable???  I can’t lay on my belly right now, though I think that must be the key.  Maybe I need a little folding lap desk or something?  I was so excited about this and it’s just not what I expected it to be.  I hope it’s just due to my belly making positioning difficult!

I spent several days at my mom’s and missed a lot of stuff in Sanford, including the logo unveiling.  I’m sad about that, but have peeked at it online and think it looks great!  I can’t wait to catch up on the newspapers tomorrow.  While there, my mom had my husband do some work for her which she paid him for, as well as giving us money & some other things we needed (like shoes for me!) for our birthdays.  It was a great visit…we had a small family party for my oldest son’s birthday and she bought some clothes for Violet.  We had a lot of fun shopping for baby girl clothes together!  My brother also loaned us this laptop until we’re on our feet enough to buy our own.  It’s not the newest or fanciest thing out there but it should do what we need it to do.  I feel so blessed to have family who are willing and able to help us in these small but important ways right now!
