It’s been one week into my NRR (No Restaurant Rule) month, if you don’t count getting the boys Happy Meals yesterday after church, or a slice of pizza for myself at Sam’s on Saturday. While in line at McDonald’s yesterday, I had this conversation with seven year old Ashton:
Me:
|
Do you want apples or fries with your nuggets?
|
Ashton:
|
Apples. I know a boy who ordered a hamburger with apples, and they put the apples on the hamburger because they got the order mixed up.
|
Me:
|
That story sounds a little fishy! Did you just make that up?
|
Ashton:
|
Yeah. It’s an Apple Fool’s joke.

Today is Carol’s birthday, my BFF from high school. It was a lifetime ago that we were doing some of the foolish things we did! Though I knew her in elementary school, she didn’t become my bestest bud until 9th grade. I really don’t know if I would have made it through some of those years without her. She probably doesn’t realize just how important she was to me during high school, and those years immediately following…which were quite difficult for me. She had a pretty cool head on her shoulders, and I was always making choices that were detrimental to my well-being. There were times, I know, when it was tough being my best friend, and I appreciate that stood by me. I don’t get to talk to her or see her near enough these days, but I know (as she knows) that we are only a phone call away from each other. She’s one of those friends that it doesn’t matter how long it’s been…it just doesn’t matter…we are still on the same wave length when we connect. ::::Happy Birthday, Carol:::
In September, my other BFF from those days (who moved away when I was 17), Tammera (she will always be Tammy to me) has a birthday. Even though she lives a day’s drive away, she is so good to keep in touch with me. More on her next month.
Another conversation from yesterday, this one with Ole Boy:
Me:
|
I can’t believe how Roscoe follows you everywhere you go, lies at your feet, and cries when you’re away.
|
Ole Boy:
|
:::Laughs and nods::: That’s what you should do, too!

I was just wondering if you counted snack bars as eating out. I just had a pretzel from Target and vote that it does not count because it is so cheap and not a "real" restaurant.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the real miracle is that it is only 11:08 AM and I have already been out and at Target. This is so unlike me. Obviously had a family emergency this morning which put me out and about early.
Happy birthday Carol and Tammy!
ReplyDeleteYour grandson sounds so cute.
Love the flowers.
And good job on the eating out!
Chuckle to both the "Apple Fool's Joke" and Ole Boy. :D I'm sure my husband thinks the same thing. Deb
