Lots of NStuff, and one more question

Well, the girls come home in the morning.  WoooHooo!  This has been a LONG 4 weeks.  They're happy to be coming home, I'm happy they'll be here.  They are excited about seeing the puppy, but I think they'll be happy to see me, too.

Today is Kevin's birthday.  He is 40 (muffled giggle).  If you've read here for very long, you know that adults get 3-day birthdays around here.  They have to be consecutive, and one must be your actual date of birth.  Kevin chose today thru Sunday.  So far, it's going all right for him.

He got off work at noon.  His boss may have a heart after all.  Plus, with Brett working a rare day shift, it got him home to let the puppy out.  He even did some laundry and cleaning when he got here.  What a doll!  The rule is, you don't have to do ANYTHING you don't want to during your 3-day birthday.

When I got off work, I went to the store.  I bought every snack food that I could think of on his favorites list.  I got a 6-pack of Molsen Canadian beer (he rarely drinks a beer, but this is one of his favorites.  The lables crack me up, so I like when he gets it.)  I also brought home Fiddle Faddle, deluxe mixed nuts (the kind without peanuts), chips and salsa, Double Stuff Oreos, fake crab dip (he may be addicted...intervention?), Hershey's miniatures, and his all time favorite snack food.  Recipe to follow:

Take one Ritz cracker, place a piece of cheddar or pepperjack cheese on it.  Add one ring of jalapeno, and top with 3 drops of Tiger Sauce.  I'm tellin' you, folks, this is wonderful stuff, here.  Sometimes he starts with a slice of summer sausage, but I couldn't find any that looked good.

I also got him a DVD set, with Young Guns and First Blood.  He's wanted to find the original First Blood, and it's tough to find, and I got the combo for less than $9!  To top it off, he found Slingblade on one of the movie channels.  This man is feeling pure bliss, I tell ya!  Two more days to go!

Now, for another "ask anything" question, from Amy:

~What's your favorite food? Hard to say.  I eat anything and love most of it.  Probably Pizza, followed closely by Pringles.  Or anything from Red Lobster, or Olive Garden.  Oh wait!  I forgot about burgers!  ahhh, never mind.
~You go to get a snow cone.  What flavor do you get? Probably rainbow, because they're pretty.  My teeth are in pretty bad shape, so I don't get them, really, but I like them.  They're food, right?  Yeah, I like them a lot.
~What state do you really not want to visit? I'd like to visit every state, honestly.  I'm not that well travelled, so I'm curious.  I'd say that, if I had to choose one to stay out of, it'd be Idaho.  Why?  Because I don't know anyone from there, or anything about it.

OK, See ya'll later!
