Sunday adventure: Target, Boston Market, and Mallow Bits

Sundays are a day when Anthony and I get a little shopping and eating done.  It's the one day of the week we both have off together.

The first stop was Target.  I bought Lucky a couple of dog toys and Anthony needed cleaning products.  Then, we had dinner at Boston Market, and we ended our Sunday adventure at Walmart Neighborhood Market on 22nd Street with our usual weekly grocery shopping trip.

Clearance! Score!

Justin Timberlake's CD 20/20 was apparently a hot seller, because there weren't any left.

Dinner at Boston Market at Grant and Tanque Verde.
It was another restaurant that Anthony and I ate in that was totally empty.
It seems to have grown into a tradition.

Peanut Butter Fudge cookies at Walmart Neighborhood Market.
I thought that yellow thing on the side of the label was a dildo, and Anthony had to explain it was a rolling pin.
Oopsie.

New Lunchables Uploaded.
I hope that is not the same as upchucked.

I thought Reese only made peanut butter cups.
Apparently they also like to show off their Mussels.

Kraft Jet Puffed Mallow Bits
It must be a teeny tiny jet that puffs up these little things.

Choosy mothers choose Jif Mocha Cappuccino flavored Hazelnut Spread.
Peanut butter is soooooo last year.

Panties on a pole - The sequel

I posted a photo in September 2012 of a random pair of girl's panties on the top of a pole next to a garbage dumpster at Ridgepointe where I live.  It was a rainy morning, so the panties were wet.  I thought it was an amusing and odd thing to see.

I came home from work a few days ago and I spotted another garment on top of a pole next to a garbage dumpster at Ridgepointe.  This time, it was a short women's robe.

The apartments at this complex have plenty of closet space so clothes shouldn't be stored on poles in the parking lot.  Why this happened will likely remain a mystery.  But, if someone needs clothes the first place they should look are on the poles next to garbage dumpsters at Ridgepointe Apartments.

Meeting Henry Darrow

I had the privilege of meeting legendary actor Henry Darrow today.  He was a guest on the Morning Blend.

His acting resume includes the NBC TV series The High Chaparral as Manolito Montoya from 1967-1971, Zorro in the 1990's, the movie The Hitcher in 1986, and even Star Trek Next Generation.

He was a very interesting guest on the show and he was kind enough to stand next to me for a photo.

Henry may be wearing a cool hat, but I'm wearing a sweater I bought off of the clearance rack at Target

St Patricks Lame Weekend

St. Patrick's Day fell on a Sunday this year.  I celebrated by having one of the least interesting weekends on record.

I was sick with a bizarre pressure style headache on Saturday.  I slept a bunch all day and shoveled aspirin and sinus medication into my pie hole but it didn't have much effect.  Fortunately, it didn't hang around and I felt okay today when I woke up.

St. Patrick's Day itself (today) was very uneventful.  I watched Anthony eat 31 Peeps for breakfast, then rush out the door in the afternoon to go drinking with some co-workers.  I stayed home, walked Lucky, did laundry, then went out solo to Jack In The Box for dinner, and Walmart Neighborhood Market for groceries.  Dinner and groceries was the first time I went anywhere besides the apartment complex all weekend.

The good news (in my mind) is that avoiding drinking green beer this weekend means I won't have to look at green poop, which is always the result of consuming anything with green dye.

This weekend I was down with the brown.

Cowboy Rub and Hot Chips

This week's visit to the Walmart Neighborhood Market at 22nd and Craycroft:

Vanilla Crème Horns
If I had horns, this is what I would like them to look like.

Girard's Champagne Dressing
The easy way to get drunk while eating salad.

McCormick Grill Mates Cowboy Rub
I think they used Cowboy Rub in the movie Brokeback Mountain.

Peanut Butter Toast Crunch
Anthony was so excited when he saw this that he squealed like a school girl.

Hot flavored potato chips
I thought hot was a temperature. Apparently it's a flavor.
How silly of me.

Banquet Chicken Fingers Meal
It comes with chicken fingers, macaroni and cheese sauce, and a giant brown piece of poo.

The sneaky Anthony photo of the week: He gazes longingly at the Easter Candy.
Don't worry, he bought some.
