We went to Applebee’s for dinner tonight (the old-we have clocked many hours in local Applebee’s-the kids love it) and we had the best waitress. She did backflips for the kids because they ate a good dinner. That’s a first!
The new…we also went to Blockbuster tonight. We have not been there for about five years which means neither one of our children have ever set foot in a Blockbuster. Wow! I think they were speechless for the first few seconds. They were trying to wrap their little brains around the possibilities…the candy, the popcorn, the ice cream, the movies. Why did we go there after such a long hiatus? I was cleaning out our closet a month or so ago and I found a gift card I had received from one of my students (Yes, that was many moons ago.) so I decided to spend it. So, we got our movies (Little Miss Sunshine and Scooby Doo meets Batman) and went to check out. I had to go through the process of filling out a new card app. and then it turns out that my gift card had JUST expired! The very nice checkout man did some magic on his computer though and let me use it anyway. 😉
