7-11-08

So what did we do on 7-11 this year? Well...
A friend informed me if you dressed up like a cow, and went to Chick-fil-a you received a free combo meal. WHAT FREE food you say? I'm there. I don't care what I have to do to get it either. (I reminded myself of the Jerry Seinfield Halloween stand up act follow this link if you haven't heard it yet. I laugh every time. We even have the book.
So I dressed up the kids and drove the 25 miles to the closest chick-fil-a (yes I know, I spent more in gas than the free food.)

On my way there, Nate called to see what I was up to. Here is our conversation.
Nate: Hey babe, whatcha doing?

Me: I'm driving to Mechanicsburg dressed like a cow to get a free combo meal at Chick-fil-a.

Nate: How old are you?

Me: (pause hmmm how old am I?) 28, but I'll do this when I'm 50 if it means free food. What are you doing?

Nate: I just got done helping deliver a preemie and am supposed to have another admit here real soon.

Me: You know you could be doing something a lot more exciting like dressing up like a cow, none of this saving babies stuff... Don't you wish you could come with us instead?

Nate: No. Hey, I gotta go, I'm being paged. (click)

Me: (as I'm hanging up the phone.) That's the story of my life.

I even dressed Owen up and we took his meal to Dada afterward.
I'd also planned on going to 7/11 to get my free slurpee, but that didn't happen. Next year. Next year.
That evening we went to listen to a local "Jazz" band for my dear friend Annie's birthday. I use "Jazz" becuase this band had obviously never been to New Orleans to hear what real Jazz sounds like.
That being said, it was still fun and the company was awesome. All in all, 7/11 was a great day!
