Peanut Butter Bars

October 15th, 2009 by prettythoughts

So I heard great things about the Fiber One PB and Oats bars. I was at Target today and saw both the Fiber One bars and the Target version and compared the facts. Targets version had .5 less grams of fat and 10 less calories. I went for the Target brand. :)

Lazy Ass Employees

October 2nd, 2009 by prettythoughts

So I did my usual every 2 week stop at Vince and Joe’s for my chicken breast and meat. Normally I go on Thursdays but I didn’t make it there yesterday so I went today. I get 10 lbs of chicken breast because in order to get it for $1.99 per lb you have to buy 10 lbs… so anyways I always ask them to split it in 2 five lb bags and they always say ok. Today, I was told NO and when I told her that I come every 2 weeks and ALWAYS get it like this she told me I didn’t! LOL then I described the lady who does it for me and she said that she wasn’t supposed to be doing that. Oh GEEZ! So I told her she lost out on a $20 sale and I proceeded to the manager. The manager was very apologetic and was quick to go get me my chicken, split into 2 bags. Lordy lordy there are some lazy ass people out there. How hard is it really? I worked in retail for 4 years and people had some crazy requests like 5 different transactions or some other BS, if that’s what they want you do it! I mean unless it’s something totally off the wall.

Pancake Breakfast

October 2nd, 2009 by prettythoughts

I am super excited for my Uncle’s pancake breakfast on Sunday. He is the fire chief and every year his department has a pancake breakfast and afterwards it was always tradition for my family to take a trip to the cidermill. We continued that tradition last year even after my Mom had passed away just weeks before. She had always wanted to keep our family close so that’s what I am going to try my best to do. Weather permitting, after the pancake breakfast, we will be headed out to the cider mill, missing my Mom but adding my beautiful daughter. Life is weird isn’t it?
