Pic Of The Day - 02.17.14

Do you ever drive by a place and think, "I want to eat there but I don't because they're always so busy"? That's how I feel about El Rey. They're always busy and no matter which direction you come from, there is usually a traffic jam in front, on the side or in the parking lot. There are only two restaurants that I'm willing to go through that much work for and those restaurants are Paulie's and Brennan's.

It Must Be Mardi Gras Season...

if Costco is selling large bags for Zapps!  Of course I couldn't resist.

It was supposed to be a leisurely stroll through Costco on Sunday.  I ended up buying all kinds of snacks.  Oh well.

SAD Remnants

"There's got to be a morning after..."

This was the scene at Kroger on Saturday, Feb. 15, 2014.

And I bet you thought I would do another SAD posting.  Well, there's one on my Instagram page.  I went to a SAD party at work.  I also went to a fabulous dinner party that had SAD decorations. 

The dinner party was at a fabulous house in River Oaks.  There were four couples and two singles.  The hosts made sure the couples didn't sit next to each other so that is always fun.  Also, I never thought I would be playing bingo in a house on Kirby Drive.  It was a fun night.

On my way to dinner, I snapped this photo.  It was a full moon that was very bright.  I was at a stop light when I snapped the pic.

Greetings From The Calvinator

To everyone who observes Valentine's Day or Single Awareness Day, The Calvinator thinks you are cute stuff.

Even though this is a SAD (Single Awareness Day) photo, I like it because of the color.  Believe it or not, I didn't use and Instagram filter on it.  You see...

I had to run to the grocery store to buy The Calvinator some Rachel Ray dog food to mix with his Blue Buffalo kibbles.  It was just at sunrise and the sky was a nice mix of orange, pink & blue.  Hence, the pink tone on the SAD tent.

It's SAD - Single Awareness Day

Today is the day that many of us are reminded that we are single.  And while couples are out paying high prices for dinner, and florists are driving all over town delivering flowers, and chocolates are being consumed by the pound, there are those of us who will consider this just another day.

There is a bright spot in all of this for me.  First of all, I *heart* this photo from Kinky Boots.  It was on their Facebook page and it has some of the best lines from their songs.

And the second part is that I've been invited to dinner in River Oaks.  Some friends are having a small dinner party and I have no idea who is invited and I'm fine with that.  It will make for an interesting evening and knowing these guys, it will be fun!
