To Thank a Friend

I wanted to thank a friend for the recent conversations on instant messenger.  It’s been great getting to know this person.

I had done a favor for this person, a favor I had done before.  This time though the person insisted that I name a price for my favor.  Yeah..right…like I’m really going to do that?  Ok well the person knew I wouldn’t do that so we get to talking about how it would be really cool if I could get out to the buffet with Amy.  She mentioned the prices of the buffet having gone and I agreed, they went up here too to around the same price in her area.  Hmmm..she was sneaky.  She was calculating the amount it would cost for Myself, Amy and possibly one of my sons going out to eat at the buffet.  The next morning true to her word that she would not accept no for an answer was a paypal with funds for Amy and I to go out to eat.

I told my kids about it and they thought it would be cool for us to have a Mom’s night out instead of them coming along so we did indeed go out to eat.  It’s a pretty rare treat for us so we had to get cell cam pics of this event, not only cuz, well, we are wierd and just do that kind of thing.  I wanted to let that kind person know we did indeed go out and had a great time. 

I stuffed my face with as much fried fish, and shrimp I could find!  I love seafood but my kids hate it so I don’t cook it at home unless I find a really good deal on something.   Right now my plate consists of honey walnut shrimp, fried fish, saute’ shrimp and butter, crab mean croissant and chicken teriyaki on a stick.

Amy prefers to start a meal with a bit of Sushi and other raw stuff.  She has oysters on the shell, squid and all sorts of different sushi foods most of which I can’t pronounce let alone try to type…but I think it all means raw fish wrapped in rice.

Since my son didn’t go there was also enough for us to visit Starbucks on the way home!! 
Another rare but treasured treat.

Mocha cappuccino with extra whip on the side…Ahhh!  That was good!

Ha!  Don’t tell her I put this on the web…you may never hear from me again!  Yes…she is indeed lapping the foam off the lid in public I of course would never do any such thing…..well not if she has the camera in her hand anyway.

The the one who refused to take no for an answer…Thank you friend we had a GREAT time!!!!

Becky & Amy
