STORY:
Yesterday was a birthday dinner party for two: me and the birthday girl, coldstone sweet neci. i think she’s like 25 for the third time in a row or something. i forget. anyway, it was fabulous . . . finally.

i pickup the ingredients after work, upgrading everything: the good cheese, the good pepperoni, the good bag of spinach, instead of lettuce . . . ooh and fresh mushrooms. but then i got to the english muffins (we were having gourmet mini pizzas for the main entrée), somehow i lost focus that i was on this high-end kick by purchasing some i-thought-only-thomas’-was-the-brand-that-made english muffins.

well evidently, thomas’ is the only one that makes the good english muffins. because when i got home (as soon as coldstone sweet neci got there too) i discovered that these were molded so bad that even the inside of the container was green. (GAG) and yes i checked the expiration date, it was may 11th NOT EVEN HERE YET! stupid knock offs.

SO WE GO BACK TO MY FANCY-SMANCY OVERPRICED GROCER (i have not one idea why i decided to capitalize now) . . . AND THEY GLADLY SWAPPED ME OUT FOR THE THOMAS’ ONES. NO QUESTIONS ASKED; OUTSTANDING CUSTOMER SERVICE IS PRICELESS. BUT DON’T GET HAPPY YET . . .

WHEN WE STEPPED BACK OUTSIDE, IT WAS POOOOOOOOOOOOOOURING RAIN. I MEAN HIGH TIDE! SO ANOTHER STORE MANAGER COMES UP TO US AND SAYS, “WHERE’S YOUR CAR? I CAN PULL IT UP FOR YOU SO THAT YOU LADIES DON’T HAVE TO GET WET?” WITHOUT HESITATION I WENT, “OKAY, THANKS”

HE GOT THE CAR, MY FLAT-IRONED HAIR STAYED IN TACT, THE SUN WAS SHINING WHEN WE GOT HOME, WE WERE ABLE TO LAUGH AND ENJOY GREAT COMPANY . . . AND THEN WE WENT TO COLDSTONE.

DAMN ICE CREAM COST ME LIKE TEN BUCKS. GOTTA LOVE THE BIRTHDAY GIRL.
