Having returned from our vacation we still haven't had a chance to go to the grocery store and properly restock. Shopping is serious business not to be done while tired. We were so tired yesterday we skipped out on getting to see Gridiron Gang for free. We were really too tired to even talk about what we wanted to eat. We did eventually work out that we were too tired for a sit down meal but wanted something better than drive through.

Many solutions were tossed about. Chinese take out, Fried Chicken, Fried Okra, and Fried jalapino cheese bombers among them. I remembered that Sara had put the phone number of a really tasty chinese place in her phone for just such emergencies but she was so tired she couldn't immediately find it. Finally she did find it and she put in an order for low maen, general tso's, and some steamed dumplings. After she got off of the phone with them, she turns to me and groggly admits that jalapino cheese bombers and okra sounded really good.

Feeling tired but just a touch mischieveous, I drove strait to churches and bought some chicken, okra, and bombers, then we drove on to pick up the chinese. My thinking is this. We can eat the bombers and the okra on the way home, we can have some of our chinese now, some later, and save all of the chicken for later meals. I like left overs, and Church's chicken not only reheats well, but is very tasty cold anyway.

We get home and have a meal that can't be beat when suddenly Sara approaches me with two open hands. "Left or right." In each hand, a fortune cookie. I choose right because I am right handed and she is left handed. Her fortune read, "All the little things will add to a happy journey." She was dissatisified with it but it made sense to me. Currently she is working in a high level position doing high level work while being paid a low level salary for the low level job she was originally hired for. Clearly this makes her dissatisified, as they have no reason to buy the cow when they already get the milk for free. I took this fortune to mean that all of this work experience would one day allow her to have a real job doing real work for real money in the real world and she would be happy. Best of all, for them to get someone to do what she is doing now they would have to pay them double so she even gets a little revenge in there.

On the other hand, my fortune read: "Be mischievous and you will not be lonesome." I think the fates just gave me carte blanche! I've got a free ticket to misbehave and I'm not going waste that!

How do you think I'm doing so far?
