1. Shoppin' at the Goodwill. I love a good bargain. Yesterday, I went shopping with a friend and got a HUGE shopping basket full of name-brand clothes for..wait for it..$140! Oh!Oh! It gets better than that even. I had filled my Goodwill punch card (one punch for every $10!) so I only paid $69. I am thinking that I will post up some of my super sweet, super cheap outfits here in the future.
2. Music in the Park. As I have said before, I am fortunate to live in an area that appreciates our local artists and the beauty of the City. This is a regular Friday night happening in our City, and as you can by the schedule, there is a wide variety of music. Mardi Gras and the Wellness Cafe and Coffee Shop had tables set outside for dinners. The stores were open and people were about. It was amazing!
3. Wildtree. All natural products. Do you cringe when you hear that? Cringe no more my friends, these products are tasteeeeeee. My sister and I were strolling at the Allegheny Burger Festival and we happened upon the booth of our local representative and helped ourselves to a little samplin'. Yummm-o! Which brings me to my next favorite:
4. Grilling! Tonight I made hot sausage from Palumbos Meat Market, Fiesta Lime Shrimp Skewers from Schwans, chicken breast with Wildtree California Style Garlic Pepper Blend, and peppers and portabella mushrooms tossed in Wildtree Roasted Tomatillo Sauce. I sprinkled the pepper blend with a smidge of Parmesan cheese on the chicken breast and even my 14 year-old daughter told me it was delicious!
5. It was hard to choose my last favorite, but I have got to give it up to the SUN. We had months and months of rain here in Northwestern Pennsylvania. Prior to that, we had months and months of snow. We've gotten lucky, and it appears that we will actually have some summer here. That being said, my heart and prayers go out to communities that have been devastated by severe weather. Please, please, please if you have the means - try to help the people in the United States who have been affected. Charity starts at home.
Whew! It always takes longer than I expect to tell you about my faves. But I have to tell you how much enjoyment I have gotten out of our pathetic troupe of newsy politicians lately.. Wieners' Wiener has kept me going allll week. Here are just a few of my Facebook comments:
* If your last name is Wiener, I suggest that you not send pics of Mr. Wiener's Wiener. As if the abuse you undoubtedly took in elementary school wasn't enough, you decide that politics is your calling. Let me ask, if you run for President, will your Wiener be your running mate? I mean, you obviously belong to the same party..
* Dear Sara Palin - Shut up. Congrats on your unsuccessful run for the White House. Whatever. You're not doing women any favors by pimping out your teen daughter/mother, fishing on reality TV, or showing us how truly stupid you are by trying ...to blackball Paul Revere - who coincidentally isn't even here to defend himself. (Unlike the aforementioned Mr. Wiener) Go back to Alaska, get under your taxpayer purchased bear skin rug, and stay there. Quietly.
* If the rumor is true and Florida really is making Welfare recipients take drug tests let me get an A-MEN! Guess what? I had to piss in a cup to get a job that is allowing me to support your lazy ass, so I should be able to demand that you ...piss in a cup to collect my money. There is a whole list of things I should be able to demand (birth control sounds like another great idea), but for now I will just be happy knowing that there is just one more step in the process of making your life a little harder.
And then I continued on. Just because I can..
* Because I was so enthralled by Wiener's Wiener, I foolishly left out our favorite celebrity Governor yesterday. Yes - the Terminator, who apparently forgot that in order not to impregnate the Housekeeper you must terminate the flow of sperm... to the egg. This can be done by terminating the life of said sperm within a condom, terminating the act before the sperm can exit the building, or - here's a great idea - terminate banging the help unless you are married to them. Makes you wonder if John Edwards, Arnold, and Bill Clinton have a clubhouse where there sneak cigars and practice saying "I'll be back" in their best washed-up-movie-star-disgraced-public-figure voice.
* Ah Delta Airlines. Maybe you were the only airline that got caught charging returning service-people stupid amounts, but the fact stands that you have been called out - and shame, shame, shame on you. Next time you need to send a plane up, please make sure you deposit your $3000 fee for safe air space. Because I am pretty sure that safe space wasn't free.
And yes. There is more were that came from. But I have to go to bed now.
