Tiring Saturday...
Got up at 8:30AM this morning, early for me. Fixed sausage and eggs. Finally got a shower around 12:30. The_Rose and I talked about going to Sam's Club to get grocery shopping done, and possibly get me some work clothes.
Well, we finally get out and about around 4:00-4:30PM, get me some pants and some socks (the kids here have taken my drawer full and emptied it. Where all my socks went to, and I probably had 30 pair of them, I have no idea), and got the other stuff bought, we wait in line to get checked out. We are under our friend Deb's business card, and she had just renewed her card, and so we had to renew ours as well. I'm a secondary _spouse_, turns out The_Rose is the real secondary. But I tried to renew under my card, but it wouldn't take. Of course I didn't realize that I had the spouse card. Neither did the people working the register. After ringing up almost $400, we got sent to another line. To wait. To find out that they had to cancel the whole transaction, and reenter it. The_Rose was fit to be tied, and she was ready to walk out and forget it. They got it done, and we were expecting the renewal charge on it, and it wasn't there. The card was now showing as renewed. OK, we'll take it!
We bought some T-bone steaks there. Midwestern corn-fed beef that both The_Rose and I are spoiled with from living in Ohio versus the range-fed cattle here in Florida. Absolutely wonderful!
The pants will have to be shortened, even though we bought 29" inseams. Yeah, I've got short legs. If I had normal legs, I would be close to 6' tall. My best friend in Junior High School thought it was funny that while at the time we were about the same height, my pant size was 36-30, while his pant size was 30-36. We both had 2 inch heels, so I didn't have to have those shortened. And if you don't understand why we wearing such shoes, well, you just weren't around in the early 70's...
At any rate, it's just about 11PM here, and I'm exhausted. The_Rose and I are supposed to be going out with Deb and her husband tomorrow to a Japanese place for a Sunday brunch. Should be interesting.
Sparx is out spending the night with a friend of his. We think that he is actually spending it with his girlfriend, but I know I don't particularly care right now. Permanent link posted by bytehead @ 9/27/2003 10:59:00 PM
