Explosive Monday!

Seriously! We were in the laundry room...and heard boom! boom! boom! We looked at each other and said "I didn't do that!!" and ran out side. Jennifer came sprinting from the office and said 'Did you see that??"  

"Nope...but we heard it and have no power!"

A transformer blew up on the pole behind the back building! Considering the fact that the wind was gusting to 58 mph...it was amazing that it didn't catch stuff on fire! She ran back to the office and called the power company. Consequently...we had no power for a couple of hours. All is back to normal now, and even the wind has died down but it made for an interesting day.

And a post HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!! It was so busy and tiring yesterday that I just didn't write last night. I came home and took a shower and then we went over to see Mary Ann and Paul for a bit. We were all too hot and tired to eat, so we just enjoyed sitting in the yard in the evening breeze. Got home around quarter to nine and I just laid there. Zero ambition.

We thought today was going to be an early day, and it would have been except for that blowing up shit. Oh well. And then we decided to get lunch. We had green chicken enchiladas from the Triangle Market. I may have mentioned this place before. It's the Shell station convenience store. There is a small kitchen area inside with limited seating (and we always get take out anyway) and everyday, Charlie (who is a wonderful chef) offers a lunch special. Today it was the enchiladas and they were GREAT!!  He opens his food service at 6:30 am and offers a variety of breakfast burritos, then starts his daily special along with HUGE hamburgers and several sandwiches, then closes at 1:00. Great choice today ~ great lunch! And it was only $6.99!! I will check my food list later and see what I was not supposed to eat!

I washed clothes this afternoon so I am all caught up. I need to pack up some of the shirts in my drawers. They are mostly thermal. It was almost 100 today, even though it was windy. I think may have mentioned a while back that I needed to do this...probably a few times, actually. Now I need light weight and light colored t shirts. I know I have some in a Rubbermaid tub somewhere. I'll write that on my To-Do List. I'll put it at the top!

I'm really not in the mood to do anything tonight. I should be...but I'm not. Maybe I'll just look up really important stuff on line. Or play really important games...yeah...that sounds good. Something to make me think...like matching 3 same colored cubes and blowing them up at just the right time!! AND beat the clock!!

Wait! Wait! I almost forgot the MOST important thing!! Guess what I got at the store today??? Can't guess??? FIZZIES!!!! Honest!!!! Well...they are called something else...let me go look.

OK...I'm back..they are made by Kool-Aid...I got the 'gigglin' grape' ones. They had fruit punch and lemonade. I am making one as we speak. hmmmmmmmmmm...sounds like a fizzie. Fizzes like a fizzie. Definitely not as good a a gen-u-wine fizzie. Shit! It has aspartame in it! NO...I didn't read it first. I'll drink them anyway and bitch about it. Only 5 calories!!  I don't care...I was so excited to see a 'fizzie copycat'. Lesson learned.

I have visited a retro candy site and I know they still sell Fizzies on line. I used to LOVE the root beer ones! Hell..I used to drink Alka Seltzer cuz I like the effervescence....I was an unusual child.

OK...I am going to drink my aspartame and watch TV. Have a nice night!
