Happy Labor Day, everyone!
Today, I’ll be hanging with the Sweetman. Yesterday, his back went out. So I don’t know if we’ll be keeping the same plans of driving to St. Pete to go to the Dali Museum. We shall see.
Saturday night we were supposed to go to Tarpon Springs for their once-a-month Greek Night. I was so looking forward to spinach pie and baklava, but on the way home from work Sweetman called me and said, “Where do want to go for dinner? How about the Olive Garden?”
What, I thought. What happened to Greek Night?
“And we really need a new television for our bedroom. We need a flat screen so I figured we could go to the new HHGREG store.” Sweetman has been dying for a flat screen for the bedroom. And he drools for shopping.
Crap, I thought. I hate shopping. And I’m definitely not a fan of Olive Garden.
So I endured a fake Italian dinner and got dragged to a store that’s not to open until October. But he did haul me over to Best Buys and walked through rows and rows of flat screens.
Sweetman didn’t like the pricing. So he said, “Let’s go to Sam’s Club.”
That was our fun filled date night.

Hair Trivia Answer From Friday
Friday, I asked a question on Egyptian hair styles. And nobody gave me an answer.
When I think of Egyptians, I think of their elaborate hair dos, which by the way are wigs. Back in the day the men even sported fake beards. They wore them strictly for holidays and religious ceremonies. On regular days they wore their own hair, which was a short do or a bald do.

From the valley in Beverly Hills, these powerful ladies launch a devastating attack against the entire world of Ekoda. Engulfed by delusions of conquest, they’re determined to destroy everything that isn’t their so-called perfection. During one of these brutal attacks, the people of Trailer Country fall victim to an evil curse. With their way of life threatened, the three Rednecks must overcome countless obstacles and nonstop assaults, and try to save not only Trailer Country, but the entire world. Packed with action, adventure, drama, and more twists than Rednecks can count with their shoes off, this comedy will leave you on the edge of your seat. So read on and enjoy “Lord of the Mullets”

Tomorrow, Sir Poops and Hair Ball have another interview for you.
My husband wouldn't have wanted spinach either, but he didn't like shopping. His idea of good food was steak (rare) with whiskey at a really good steak house with a good western band. If it wasn't a steak house it was a good Mexican restaurant. Low class, maybe, but more expensive than Olive Gardens and sometimes a lot more fun.
ReplyDeleteWas he a vampire? Rare steak, huh?
DeleteHey Shelly! I love spinach pie! Too bad you had to go to the Olive Garden...I've never given the Egyptians a lot of thought, but it is interesting that they wore wigs..and they didn't even have a SuperCuts!
ReplyDeleteGood luck on finding the perfect flat screen!
Thank you, Eve.
DeleteI love Greek food! So sad you had Olive Garden instead, but at least you got to share it with Sweetman. Thanks for the shout out to Parner's in ParanormYA!
ReplyDeleteNo problem.
DeleteI think Cleopatra wore a bob! :)
ReplyDeleteA corn-row bob.
DeleteI'm not a fan of Greek food, though I love Ouzo and Baklava! Hope Sweetman feels better soon.
ReplyDeleteLove Baklava. Ouzo, not sooo much. And thank you for the well-wishes.
DeleteNever been to an Olive Garden but from the commercials and all the cars I see parked in front of the one I drive by ... I think I will pass.
ReplyDeleteLove Greek Food ! There is a Greek Church here that holds a festival every year but I always seem to miss it... this year, walker and all I will be there !
Love Cleopatra's hair !
The Square Ones send woofs
cheers, parsnip
You're missing nothing that's for sure. Greek food it great.
DeleteWoofs back to the Square Ones.
I hate shopping too. I usually research online first and then ask my husband to go get it. And the worst part of the Olive Garden is the fakeness of it. And the excess of salt.
ReplyDeleteOlive Garden ...stick a finger down my throat. Shopping makes me totally dizzy.
DeleteGreek food is really tasty! :) Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI love Greek food. It's the best besides Israeli food.

Thank you. I will be over to check out your blog.
DeleteYuck. I love that you called it fake Italian. That's totally what it is! Too bad you missed out on Greek. I could eat that 24/7!!
ReplyDeleteYeah. I know.
DeleteHa I'm not a fan of shopping either!
ReplyDeleteSmiles to you!
DeleteHope you had a great day yesterday Shelly, and good luck with the flat-screen "hunting expedition." LOL.
ReplyDeleteYIKES! LOL! We still don't have a flat-screen so I know he's going to drag me to every store that has them for sale.
DeleteThose were wigs?! Ha! I just thought Egyptians had good hair.
ReplyDeleteYup. Wigs.
DeleteIn matters involving throwing the back out... best to stay in and order pizza. Just saying.
ReplyDeleteI totally could have handled that but he was insistent on going shopping for a flat screen and fake Italian food.
