Keebler and Crafts

So, I love thin mints, but since girl scouts aren't selling them all year long, I long ago discovered grasshoppers (which are keeblers version of thin mints). I love them, I mean, come on, mint and chocolate go so beautifully together. So on saturday when brad sent me to the store with lots of coupons, and one being a coupon for keebler cookies, I totally planned on coming home with 2 bags of grasshoppers. Low and behold, Keebler has made a new cookie: Cheesecake middles! For anyone who knows me, I love cheesecake and I love chocolate. So obviously, this was a match made in heaven. So, just in case they weren't good, I brought both the cheesecake middles and a bag of grasshoppers home. I have been converted! They are so delicious, you should try them. Granted, it's not like legit cheesecake, but still really good.

My favorite season is fall. Spring is a close second, but I just love fall! The leaves change colors, the air gets cooler and crisp, carving pumpkins, I can wear my beloved jeans again, and all the leaves I can jump in. So, when I went to Maceys today on a hunt for chocolate, they had this craft display out in front. And basically I got hooked. There were all these fall crafts. Now, I like making crafts, but I can never think of what to make, or it doesn't turn out how i thought. Plus, I don't have my mom's craft supplies, so every craft means i need to by paint, brushes, paper, etc. So when I saw these cute crafts, and they were cheap, I just couldn't resist. But, I do need to build up my craft supplies so I can make stuff and try to be like my crafty mother. As for today, yeah for cute things I don't have to put together! Now, I'm totally ready for fall!

For Real?!

So, tonight we went to Red Robin cause I really wanted some clucks and fries with ranch :) Well, as it was raining, thunder, lighting...I was freezing cold. Which of course means that the restraunt had there fans going. Fabulous. But hey, good food is worth it. Too bad our waitress decided we did not deserve the time of day. She brought us our food really quickly, but left without asking if we needed anything (like more ranch, napkins, and more water). This was especially no bueno because I got one ranch and Brad wasn't given any ranch for his fries and burger. So we had to share mine. Well, clucks and fries use a lot of ranch. So after running out of ranch, we waited for our waitress to come back. And we waited and waited, I ran out of water, my hands were salty, no bueno! Then she comes over and asks if we want more water. I tell her that we do as well as more ranch and a couple napkins. After waiting for an even longer period of time, in which I'm just sitting there freezing to death and staring out into the pouring rain outside, she finally brings 1 ranch, 2 lemon slices, and some fry sauce. Hello! I asked for water and napkins to! So she finally brings us water and then our check. We never saw her again. Honestly, I felt like she was rushing us and obviously not paying attention to what we asked for. So when we finished, where out of water, and after waiting a few minutes for her to come run our card, Brad asks me if I have cash. So I pull out some cash and we leave. Brad gave her a 5% tip. I told him that was way too much and I would have only done 25 cents. If you work in customer service, serve your customers!
