The world is out to get me in trouble. And its succeeding very well at it.
Take this fine Sunday morning, we woke up late, long night at the bar, my wife suggested that I run over to safeway and pick up the makings of biscuits and gravy, a Kentucky receipt of hers.
So as a little boy who knows hes going to get a special treat, I scamper off to safeway to pick up the fix-ins.
We as any good jeeper I always start off looking in the magazine rack for any off-road magazines that have JEEP articles.
This is where my troubles begin, for today that is.
Safeway and Starbucks aren't stupid, they placed the Starbucks kiosk right next to the magazine rack so dumb men (like me) would be open to suggestion like a nice cold frappicino mocha on this warm morning. Being that dumb man I said yes...mistake #1.
So absent mindfully I proceeded to pick the biscuits and sausage. Looking in the meat racks I see pork spare ribs 1.99 lbs$. So I have another dumb man moment and say to my self hummm BBQ ribs for tonights dinner sounds good! Thinking here guys, a bad thing for men.
So I pick up two packages of spare ribs...mistake #2.
Well ribs are good but its even better with home made cole slaw, I know a receipt that just tastes likes KFC's secret receipt. So I need a few more things...cabbage, butter milk..ect ect. Mistake #3!
After a pleasant trip through the check out line I drive home where my real trouble starts.
Smiling I walk through the door saying "honey I am home", thinking shes going to be happy that "I" thought of dinner for her. That is when I notice the "T" bone steaks sitting on the counter, ruh roh! At that very moment she notices the Starbucks in my hand...oh *#$@! "And where is mine", she asks?
"Ummm," I reply.
"Don't tell me you bought yourself a Starbucks and didn't get me one"?
"Ummm" (not a very good answer I know but it was all I could come up with at the time).
"Well I see who you really love now".
"Ummm but honey".
"Don't you honey me..."
Needless to say I am now HIDING in my computer room writing this letting to all of you, now knowing its a bad thing to think, when all you was told to do was get biscuits and sausage for gravy.
Thinking is bad...and this world knows how to get me in trouble just going to the store for biscuits and sausage.
