Here it is April 16Th-the day BEFORE you should file your taxes and I'm playing on the blog NOT FILING our taxes. Just not looking forward to them this year...Good thing I have a few more hours. I really need to stay on top of this blog better because when I actually sit down to write down my thoughts, I end up having an overflow--almost a diarrhea of thoughts. ;-) AKA my crazy venting.
1: Bottomless Fries/Endless Salad
Last month we went to Wingers for dinner. Cortlynn won a couple of meal certificates and they were having a special where you get two meals and all you can eat "family" style salad. I don't know why we continue to go to Wingers because we NEVER get good service, but I always think-next time. We sit there and Tristan gets his Mac & cheese-eats ALL of it before we get our meal. When she brings our meal-we ask about our salad---oh, yeah....sorry. Definitely NOT an endless salad. So upset.
The other day we went to Red Robin--you know-the place with Bottomless Fries (or that is at least what I've heard from my brother). I've been there a total of 3 times since it has been in Idaho Falls and have never experienced bottomless anything. I'm lucky to get a drink refill. On this visit I made sure to get another order of fries. We were completely done and the waitress brought the ticket; I looked at her and told her that I would like more fries. She almost looked "put out". What really upset me was the fact her other tables around us were offered more fries multiple times. AAAHHHH!!!!!! Is it me? Is it because I usually have my children with me? What is the problem??
2: When did church become everything BUT church?
Last week the kids and I went to church. We get there 15 minutes early and end up on the hard seats because the entire ward shows up early and takes their "assigned" seats. We were in the middle of singing the sacrament hymn when a guy walks thru the door looking for his family. Keep in mind he is a grown man with a wife and children. He locates them in the front row (of course) and heads on up-with his reading material in hand. You may think, reading material-she must be talking about a Bible, Book of Mormon, perhaps a primary lesson book---Oh no, you would all be mistaken. He was holding his copy of "Catching Fire"--that would be the 2nd book in the Hunger Games Trilogy. REALLY??? Is that appropriate? My favorite past time-is everyone with there smart phones-I know-some have church apps on them-but not the ones that are usually sitting by me---It chaps my behind when people act like this-I am not here to preach-but you know, I get looks from people at the church sometimes wondering who I am, what I'm doing, why I'm there, and things have actually been said TO MY FACE---Devin has been told that he needs to get his work schedule changed so he can go to church more (it's a lifestyle change they tell him) I just don't get it. Leave the outside world home for 1 hour people. My 11, 5, and 15month old have more reverence than some of those adults.
3: Public Place doesn't mean PUBLIC
The kids and I were at Tastee Treet (one of the finest eating establishments in Pocatello) waiting for our meal when I hear: click, click, click, click click, ccccliccckkkkk----the guy two tables behind me was clipping his nails. I can't stand hearing nails being clipped--hearing my own grosses me out sometimes---but when it is a strangers at an eating establishment I almost lost it. I didn't say anything because I was worried he would say something mean in front of the kids-but as soon as he left I told the employees that they may need to clean that table. That poor girl---she was sooo grossed out. I don't understand people--I should have plopped out my boob and started nursing Kyra in front of him. I'm sure he would have had something to say about that.
4: Hoochie Mamma Women need to stay away!
I don't understand how women can blatantly flirt with someone while their spouse is there. I can only imagine how they are when I'm not. On Friday Devin and I went to a Friends house for her husbands graduation from college party. I really didn't want to go because I only knew 2 people and I'm so anti-social anymore it's pathetic---as soon as we walk thru the door I wanted to turn around and walk back out. One of the most annoying co-workers of Devin's was there and she was awful. She went on and on about how Devin is the only one at the store that has shoulders for her to cry on....that he is just such a nice, sweet man---that once you get to know him, you can't but "love" him. Uuuhhhh WTH??? Than she actually said----"DEeevvvvviiinnnnn-when are you going to take me elk hunting?" I piped up---he doesn't go elk hunting. "Well-when are you taking me fishing?" That was it---we left, and as soon as we got to the car I told Devin that he will NEVER be taking her hunting!!! I would never act like that to someone that is married or in a relationship (and she was texting a married man horrible things the entire time we were at the party) One of these days I will go ape Sh*t crazy and take a cookie sheet to the floozies heads. ;-)
******The kids are doing great this week. ;-) Thought I would say something positive in this post********
