Shopping At Sam's Club = FUN!!!

My goodness did we have a great time at Sam's Club shopping for bulk products. Here is a list of what we purchased:

20 lb tub of butter
5 gallon pail of Jack Daniel's whiskey
1000 packs of Juicy Fruit gum, shrink wrapped in a 3' by 3' square
25 lb bag of unsweetened grape Koolaid
10 lb shaker of garlic powder
5000 Vitamin D pills in a bottle
Ten 50 lb bags of doritos
30 gallon drum of Pace medium picante sauce (I love chips and dip)

As you can see we made several very wise decisions in our purchasing choices, we got some truly amazing stuff!!!

The Lights Are On But No One's Home

Easter night, we wanted to go get ourselves a sandwich from Subway, well, I did, and Deanna was going to have Subway for dinner because that's what I wanted (don't fret, feminists, she actually likes when I choose where to eat). There are two Subway's withing proximity to where we live, one about a mile south, and one about 3 miles north. We went south, I saw the big Subway sign was all lit up, they were closed. So we went north, the big Subway sign was also lit up, they were closed. We drove past Little King, sign lit up, store closed. Valentino's pizza, sign lit up, store closed.

Now, I understand it is Easter and all, it's not the fact that they are closed that I have a problem with, it's the idea that they LEAVE THE FREAKING BIG SIGN ON SO FROM A MILE AWAY, HUNGER REARS IT'S UGLY HEAD WITHIN ME AND I LOOK FORWARD TO EATING A PARTICULAR TYPE OF FOOD ONLY TO HAVE MY GOURMET DREAMS SHATTERED BY THE FAUX SECURITY OF AN OPEN WARM INVITING RESTAURANT!!! Whew, sorry about getting all worked up, but you have to understand, I wanted Subway, badly. Thankfully, Burger King opened his royal arms and took us in without question, cuddling our hunger as only broiled beef can.

I won't even go into what went on at McDonald's Saturday, waiting for 20 freaking McNugget's and a large fry. All in all I would say the weekend finished as follows:

Fast Food - 2
Me - 0

I'll get 'em next time!!!


Someone I Love

Sometimes in life I think everyone has moments where they are completely overtaken by feelings, be those feelings bewilderment, confusion, anger, elation, even love. These emotions seem to become intertwined with situations that could be seen as either lucky, or unlucky. Sometimes the feelings overlap one another, such as when you feel so completely and incredibly lucky to find someone who compliments you in so many ways, someone who loves you unconditionally and whom you can also love just the same, no strings, nothing to hide.

I have found that, a person with whom I can see myself for the rest of my life. Deanna is the most wonderful girl I have ever known, I sometimes will look over at her and wonder how someone so incredibly beautiful could ever be attracted to someone like myself, but I try not to dwell on that too much, more so to thank God that she is in my life, because I really can't imagine my life without her. I can remember the first time I ever saw her, around 5 years ago now, and how I thought she was so beautiful, and also thought to myself how no one like that could ever be interested in someone like me. Her amazing smile, deep dark eyes, the way she looks at me, I find myself holding my breath when I stare into her eyes, just trying to hear her breathe.

I won't ever expect everything to always be wonderful, life has already hit us pretty hard the last few months, over and over trying to knock us off our feet, but I know that as long as we have one another, everything will be okay. It's not money that I care about, it's not material possessions (although a fast little sports car and a nice house all paid for wouldn't be too bad), as long as I have her, I feel so complete, as though I can get past the deepest most painful things in my life just knowing how much I love her and how she feels the same for me. I'm in no way a perfect guy, but my better half makes up for that in so many ways, I don't know if she realizes how much I appreciate her, but I do, so very much, I love her with all my heart and soul, and nothing can change that.
