Lunch date with an awesome man!!

Today was an awesome day!!  My hubby and I had a lunch date planned originally for Red Lobster But after I found out they were not having the All you can eat shrimp deal, I decided I didn't really want to eat there.  So my great awesome hubby says " We can just pay for our drinks and go somewhere else if you like."   Wow Right?   So after thinking about it a few minutes I decided I did want to go elsewhere..in fact I wanted to go Olive Garden.  See I had this $10 gift card that could be used at either place so those were my picks.  Anyway back to my great guy and our lunch date.  When we told our waiter that we were just going to pay for our drinks and leave, He told us he wasn't charging us for them. Oh this day was getting better by the minute. We were now on our way to Olive Garden which was only a 45 minute drive.  Omg what a trip thou, on the way we saw several bad drivers and oddities. Of course there were several people driving while on the cell phone but also others that were driving so wreckless. The one lady kept swerving to the center white line and I really thought she was on a cell phone but no she was just trying to be cool and drive with one hand and stiff armed just was not skilled enough. Oh lets not forget about the big mac truck that had an accident at the red light, seems his Load was not properly secured so his Load blew ...opps i meant flew into the back of his cab leaving him with a big sticky mess. Firetrucks and police were on the scene trying to help him clean up and get his juices flowing again ..oh jeez i mean to get his motor running again.   On down the road we passed a lady reading papers while trying to drive...yeah she was freaking spooky.  I just kept saying "What the hell is wrong with drivers today?!!"  All we wanted to do was make it the Olive Garden..sheesh was that too much to ask , but instead were stuck on the road with a bunch of idiots.  Then an ambulance was coming up behind us ..peachy just freaking peachy! We moved over into the other lane so it could go around us but just as it passed us , the damn driver cut us off swerving back into our lane and slamming on his brakes . OMG we just about slammed into him.  Oh but wait there's more.. he then got back into the passing lane , slows down and makes a left hand turn ..then turns his emergency lights off.  OK thats just fucked up ..Right?!! Finally we had an opening and traffic and got away from all the idoits.


We arrived at Olive Garden at about lunch but the place was packed.  Damn 15 mintue wait to be seated.  So we had time to kill and decided to have a drink at the bar.  He had a corona and I had a strawberry Daiquiri with whipped cream on top..Yum! While we waited we talked and just enjoyed each other in the crowded restraunt.  Time seemed to fly by and soon we were seated at our table.  I ordered Shrimp caprese , which is grilled shrimp ,angel hair pasta with cheese and tomatoes in it. Very Very good!  The couple sitting next to us gave us a coupon for $5 off two dinners since they got soup and couldn't use it anyway.  Wow this was great thou now I had my $10 gift card and this $5 off!!! Awesome I love saving money!  I couldn't believe we only ended up paying $21 bux at Olive garden..thats a rare thing.  It was time to go back home thou and to the reality of being parents.

We took the country roads ,listened to music and just talked. It was relaxing.  After I got home thou , my evening was busy as usual. I picked my daughter up at school , drove to the store and to pick up pizza for dinner..took one kid to the denist at 5 ..home in time to take the other to girl scouts and be stuck there for the whole meeting since the roads were gettting bad bc of the snow.  Relax time was over when my damn headache came back that I've had for days now.  I tried napping a bit but didnt' help.   After the kids were in bed hubby and I watched a movie. If I'm lucky the kids won't have school tomorrow and I won't have to wake up early.

Cloud Palace

On a cloud,  high in the sky ,  way way out in the distance ...that's where I want to hide.
So very high above this world that brings me down faster than any bird can soar.

A place where no one can find me ...the clouds will hide me so perfectly.
A place where no one could touch me...just beyond anyone's reach.
A place where no one could hurt me...the clouds shield me so perfectly.
A place where only happiness exist...its nothing like this horrific reality.

In the sky there must be a palace, just waiting to be found . A magical kingdom , hidden just behind those clouds all for me.  

A place so amazing and beautiful ...more peaceful than any place I've ever seen.
A place  so full of laughter and love...and home to over a million doves.
A place where all  hopes and dreams come true...one by one wishes are granted .

Living in the sky , at this awesome cloud palace is definitely the greatest  and where I  wish to be laid to rest.  No wooden box six feet under for me .. no that just won't do.  A haven in the sky ..my palace on a cloud, is where I belong  and desire to be.   Set me free, let me dream but please don't come looking for me...
