Next Time Pastrami I Promise

I didn't go to work yesterday (I have about 8 vacation days left) - instead I went to the mall with my daughter and grandaughter. But first I had to run to the post office - there was a package there and I could not remember what I ordered - it's still in my trunk because I went straight to my daughters and wasn't sure if my husband was home yet when I finally got back later in the afternoon.

My little dolly is walking now, she wants to run around and is she fast!!! We went to Ben's for lunch - they have the best pastrami on rye and chicken soup - my daughter goes for the potato pancake with applesauce every time.

The sweet baby girl had the omelet kids meal. I had to get my son-in-law a 30th birthday gift, so my daughter suggested Century 21 - Great idea, i got him a gift certificate so he can get what ever he wants when he wants.

My daughter and her husband celebrate the same birthday in November - but she will be 30 next year. (How is that possible??) It turned out to be a lovely day - at one point, I had to take off my jacket. When I got home all was quite, I wished I had brought up the package from the post office - but now I was afraid to go get it because I might meet my husband coming in. I really have to stop ordering things over the internet - but I am so gung-ho in the morning - you know maybe I'll win the lotto today - I just get carried away. anyway, he came in a little while later and asked if I spent all day cooking - He saw the french fries and hot dog I bought him from Ben's.

What's wrong with pastrami and a potato pancake? Oh, boy...here we go. O.K. I'll get it next time -He went on and on and on- while munching on the fries and drinking his beer. You watch enough cooking shows - but you don't cook - he just kept on mumbling "I don't get it" - (I learned the hard way a long time ago not to answer such questions because this is a no win situation) He kept heating that hot dog and fries over and over again. Blah, Blah, Blah....Finally the ballgame came on. He informed me that the two places he has no interest in going to are Boston and St. Louis...whatever that means.

We went to Salem on Columbus Day weekend - it turned out to be a really long drive, but we ended up having a good time. Dear Lord, keep blessing us - thank you.
