The Ramblings Of Jenn Shuey

Hubby and I headed out to grab dinner tonight, and I swear it was crazy out there.  I know places are going to be semi packed out around here on a Friday night around dinner time, but this just wasn’t normal.  It was 8pm on a Friday night, and even the parking lots of the fast food joints were overflowing…even Burger King which is normally absolutely dead.

I don’t know what was up, but some kind of event must have been going on somewhere.  It doesn’t even get that way on opening game day at Clemson.  I had really wanted food from a specific restaurant, but we gave up on trying to get in there.

We rode through town and eventually decided to just leave town and hit up Paw’s Diner, one of our little local hole in the wall places full of really good food, great prices, and friendly people.  I’m so glad we decided to eat there because I always forget how good the food there really is.

It’s one of those local places where you walk in the door and the waitress knows what you want to drink before you even find a table.  I ordered the $5 hamburger steak plate which is so large I can barely eat half of it at once.  I didn’t even touch my mac & cheese or my fried okra.  I’ve got a full plate left that will be great for lunch tomorrow.

We were going to go shopping after we ate, but that just wasn’t happening.  Lately my energy let has plummetted to 0 in the evenings, so I just did not have the energy to do so.  We swung into CVS for a few must have things, stopped by Hubby’s parent’s house, and headed home.

I do have to go shopping again tomorrow for another gift for another baby shower, so I’ll look at the luxury watch I want to get Hubby then. He really needs a new watch because I’m tired of him breaking all the cheap crappy ones my Grandma buys him. He has a really nice watch he got years ago, but the glass is cracked on it making it useless since you can’t read it. I may have to see how much it would cost me to get that one fixed if I can’t afford to buy him the one I want to get him.

Now I have to go get our tax stuff together. I’ve got most of it ready, but I have a few things I need to print out. We’ve finally got an appointment first thing in the morning to get them done, so now I get to find out how much we owe Uncle Sam. Don’t ya know I’m just so excited to find that out?
