Still halfway done...I will finish eventually....
Yesterday afternoon about 5pm my aunt called and asked if Jeff and I wanted to go to Cheddars last night with her and my uncle...their treat....
We already had BBQ chicken in the oven and the sides made to go with it....my aunt said put it away and eat it tomorrow...lol So I talked to Jeff about it...and he said tell them we will go....but we're buying our own meal...
I told her the chicken had 20 more minutes to bake and in the meantime we would get ready and we would all meet around 6pm.... it was so crowded...we waited about 35mins which wasn't too bad for as crowded as they were....
Since we had planned to buy our own I got a $12 meal and Jeff got a $16 meal and Jeff drank 3 Coors Lights...it was the first time my aunt and uncle had been there....we had told them how good it was....when the waitress came to the table to ask if it was gonna be 2 seperate bills(Jeff was in the restroom)...I said yes...and my uncle said no.... the waitress looked at me and I said yes again...and my uncle looked at her and said "We got it"....so when she walked away they told me they had planned on buying Jeff a Texas Roadhouse giftcard anyways for some work he had done for them....so when Jeff came back from the restroom we were all giggling...and he said "What?" ....we said ....oh nothing...
The waitress then brought out the one bill and Jeff said "Hey we're paying for ours"...they then told him what they had planned to do anyways....and we said at least let us pay for Jeff's beers....which was $9 My uncle said...."I tell ya what, you can pay for the tip".....We said okay....and told them how much we appreciated it.
We feel bad though, cause if we had known they really were going to buy we would have ate something cheaper....
Jeff said when we go out with them again... We are buying..lol
Yesterday morning...my same aunt called and asked if I worked this weekend and was inviting all of us to come to my grandads for a family breakfast this morning at 8:30am....she was doing all the cooking.... I said sure...sounds good to me... I feel bad going empty handed anywhere...so I brought some drinks and chocolate milk....
Everyone that could gathered at my Grandads this morning for breakfast...it was all adults....and my aunt told my grandad "Dad, this is the first time we have ate breakfast as a family since we were kids".... he said I just love it! He was so happy...and everyone really enjoyed it.
I hope we do it more often....I know my aunt had to work her booty off cooking this morning but she said she couldn't wait to do it....she loved cooking for everyone ...we had
- bacon
- scrambled eggs
- biscuits
- gravy
- sausage
- taters
- coffee cake
- orange juice
- chocolate milk
- coffee
- cokes
I didn't sleep in much this weekend....so I think I am gonna get off here and go lay down and watch some tv and relax
Hope ya'll had a good weekend...back to the ol' grind tomorrow
Until next time....
Oh man, now I'm hungry for some bacon & eggs. LOL
ReplyDeleteThe closet will be there when you get ready. There's nothing like a lazy Sunday. :)
Sometimes the 'bill' becomes a problem, and like you all we order less if someone else is paying. Alwasy feel awkward when someone pasy for our meal, except Shirl, you can't argue with her!!! LOL.
ReplyDeleteThe breakfast sounded great, and the family tiem even better!
Good entry, the closet work can come anytime. It isn't going anywhere!

this brought a tear to my eye i'll explain in my blog!
ReplyDeletethat was nice of you to put your barbecue chicken up for later and go meet them because thats what they wanted to do . dont feel quilty ! no use going if you dont get what you know you want and looked forward to having at that place!no matter who is paying.
ReplyDeletei wish my family did stuff like that more often. especially the breakfast y'all had. now my Teruko is including me in more often because the baby asks for me. lol and I just love it Terri!
It has made my life happy now. I am not gonna question it but just enjoy and Thank God for it. hugs to you dear lady! love, jun oh Lordy Phil Collins!!!!!!!!he can sing to me anytime!
Your posts always make me hungry! LOL
ReplyDeleteI've never eaten at Cheddar's. In fact, I don't think there are any close by....
I'll have to check into that. Of course, no restaurant seem to fit well into my WW diet. LOL
XOXO
I'm glad you and Jeff were able to go out with L and K and enjoy a meal together. I always feel awkward if someone else offers to pay. I know they do it because they want to but it still feels strange. We did all have a great time at Dad's and I'm glad he enjoyed us all being together.
ReplyDeleteLove
Mom
Food glorious food!!!!! LOL mm sounds good! XOOX

ReplyDeleteSound like you had a busy week-end. Glad your
ReplyDeletemeal was free and good. Thats always a treat for someone to pick up the bill. Good memories.
Shirl
I have yet to check out Cheddars. We have one here and I have heard good things! I love hearing about your family gatherings! I bet that was fun getting together with everyone like that. I bet it put a big smile on your grandad's face :)
ReplyDeleteDad made us a big breakfast Sunday morning....I had been craving gravy for several days and so glad he made it. Normally, if we eat a big breakfast like that, we make it for supper.
ReplyDeleteHope you had time to relax before going back to work this week. I miss those days where I could just lay in the bed all day if I wanted!
Wow, you had a fun weekend. Don't feel bad about what you got to eat. Your aunt and uncle wouldn't have offered to pay if they didn't want to. LOL at the halway clean closet. That sounds like me. Boy, it doesn't take much to distract me away from housework...blah. Love ya!
ReplyDeleteI have a closet that needs to be cleaned. I've looked at it and turned running! ::sigh::
ReplyDeleteI'm hungry now ... WHY is that?!?!?
Monica
Hey girl. Sorry I haven't been by. I've read back to the end of Dec. I'm a baaaaad blogger. I hate the word blog. I prefer journal/journaler. LOL Anyway it sounds like you had a full Dec & so far Jan. I'm glad Jeff went to the DR. You never know what one of those infections is gonna turn into. Take it from someone who found out!
ReplyDeleteI'm like you. And my last computer crashed & I didn't have even HALF my photos on disk. I did just order a back up drive. It is supposed to be able to back up up to 20 computers. I think we can handle that. LOL Just wanted to come by and with you a belated Merry Christnas & a joyfilled & blessed New Year. Thank you for your nice comment about my Mother In Law. She was a special woman.
Love N Hugs Barb *queenb
P.S. I am jealous you got your closet organized.
Ok..On AI this week, I really liked that red/blond headed chick who was rocker style..she was awesome, and I was diggin Anoup too!
ReplyDeleteHey. I think my canisters came from Target. I got them as a wedding present and I got 2 different sets of red canisters. I was registered at Target and it wouldn't surprise me if I registered for both! The other set sit on my kitchen counter.
