I must admit to having just slightly enjoyed my crabby mood of late. But I just can't seem to keep it up. It's just been such a great day. It started with my sweet husband making Pumpkin Waffles for breakfast, followed by a half day outing involving the garden section of both Lowe's and Home Depot, planting my two garden plots at the Community Center, dropping off the recycling, Whole Foods for Chicken Italian Sausages for dinner and plus all their Saturday food samples - and picking up a Fennel Bulb and Lentils for a salad later this week, a stop at Queenie's for tomorrow's desert (Strawberry Cheesecake), and finally Chai Tea Lattes from Starbucks where I finished off my Lenten Tipping tradition.
I really wondered if I'd be able to make it this year. Anyone who knows me knows that I would rather make own Tea at home, because I'm quite frugal, but that I give up those Small, Smug Frugalities for Lent, in order to tip someone at least once a day. This is not as easy as it sounds. But once again, I made it. Yeah!
And then, to finish off an already terrific day, it was a free HBO weekend, and so John switched the TV over to the movie, Grease, in progress, just (and I mean to the second) in time for Frankie Avalon's appearance as an angel singing Beauty School Dropout to a pink haired Didi Conn. Which is our favorite movie song scene of all time. Good Times!
Sounds like a great day Beryl, and who can forget Frankie Avalon. Loved him totally, back in the day!
ReplyDeleteHmm, I like your take on Lent. I don't do anything for Lent but I enjoy the smugness of some of those who announce to the world that they are giving up chocolate or sweets or whatever.
ReplyDeleteHi Patricia - I still love Frankie Avalon! His singing was a perfect ending to a great day.
ReplyDeleteHi Yogi - I started this practice because there were so many people giving up their daily lattes for Lent, and no one was picking up the slack for the tips beings missed by the people who serve them - people who can ill afford it. I have found that giving up Chocolate, or almost anything else, would be much easier to do!
ReplyDeleteI hadn't realised that pink hair was around back when Frankie Avalon was still young...
ReplyDeleteHappy to read you are leaving your crabby days behind. Sounds like you had a perfect day, both out and at home.

Pumpkin waffles made by HB, cheesecake, fennel -- that's enough to raise anyone out of the "mully-grubs." Hope you enjoyed your Easter weekend.
ReplyDeleteAh, Grease, that takes me back! I'm sure I can remember the words to all the songs, and probably the actions to greased lightning!
