I received an email the other day that used a word that was in the wrong place at the wrong time. I knew what they MEANT, but it wasn’t what they typed. For the record, arms are NOT agitated, they are amputated. Blame it on spell check I guess — that was only a little annoying.
The episode to the left was quite a bit more annoying because it had to do with ME making the mistake. Perry sent me a text message while waiting in the drive-thru at KFC. After watching the new ‘pot pie’ commercials that are on every 10.2 minutes non stop, we were ready to try ’em out. I’m sure the missed translation had nothing to do with my southern drawl, and EVERYTHING to do with Siri, my friend and personal iPhone assistant, becoming lazy in her duties.
Dontcha’ hate when that happens?
The KFC pot pies? Ok but not great. Huge pieces of chicken and vegetables, but a bit too much hard crust for me. It does feel like you’re eating a meal as opposed to a mere sandwich, and was pretty good for a change. But, I’d trade ’em in a heartbeat for just one of my buddy Alisa’s mini meatloaves! Or 1/2 of one of her twice-baked potatoes. Or an apple turnover thingy. And, Coco wants one of her famous ding dong cupcakes! Now please.

When we arrived in Greenwood at 2:30 PM, we didn’t know Kabuto’s doors open at 4:00 PM. No one had eaten and we simply didn’t think we could wait. Opting for Red Lobster instead, it wasn’t so busy that we waited long to be seated. Our order was taken quickly. Then, we waited. And waited.
We got rolls, no salad. The salad came with no one having anything left to drink. Imagine a hungry little girl not quite 2 years-old with nothing to eat, and nothing to drink. It wasn’t long until crayons began to fly.
When the food did arrive, Coco was frustrated to the point of being plain ole’ mad, my steak was nothing but raw, bleeding gristle (although I ordered it prepared medium well), and those who ordered lobster found it to be dry and extremely overdone. Black. No one cared when we waited for the check to arrive. No one asked if we enjoyed our meal. I conclude this is the reason old people like Cracker Barrel. It’s cheap, and there are no surprises. Dining at Cracker Barrel, it’s a sure thing you’ll never look at a $200 check while still wishing for a drink of water. Happy birthday, Perry… sorry it wasn’t better…

I could tear up every single time I hear Amber sing to Coco. Isn’t it the coolest thing ever?
Ben sings to her too, and a part of me wants to yell, “NO!!” He’s musically talented, but is not a singer. For a toddler, I think she’s on key. I’m afraid Ben will corrupt her voice. =)
More tomorrow on our NON-trip to Kabuto’s… Happy Monday, and remember, dreams really do come true…

Need something to do today while you wait for me to get back from Kabuto’s? I thought so! That’s why I’m sharing an incredibly cool link so you can make a mini picture book (like the one below) all by yourself!
Simply point your browser to FoldPlay and follow the detailed instructions. I suggest you create the mini picture book because I tried the kaleidocycle and it was a bomb. I didn’t have glue and I made a few wrong cuts and after my frustration grew for about 30 minutes, I opted for the easy peasy book instead. I’m thinking one of these little photo books would be awesome to stick inside a note to the Pesky Neighbors!

When you hit the big 4-0, you celebrate at Cracker Barrel. Obviously. You knock back a big ole’ Orange Crush! You eat something soft… like pancakes. Perry is officially an old geezer.
Not that I’m dissing Cracker Barrel, but Sunday I’ll have photos to share from Kabuto Japanese Steakhouse and Sushi Bar. Because I know Perry hates sushi, but loves Hibachi grills and ignited tables. And they serve authentic Japanese sake and beer instead of pretend orange stuff in a bottle. And because he’s so awesome he deserves TWO birthday celebrations! Yeehaw!
