Really Random: The First One

Cindy's Really Random Thursdays are a favorite of mine, so I'm thrilled that she is inviting us to join in the fun by posting our own Random post and linking up to hers! So, here goes: my first Really Random Thursday post.

Sent to me by a witty relative

I'm still recovering from all my traveling and getting caught up on my mail which includes emails and snail mail. My husband's cousin is known for bombarding our inbox with emails, most of which I delete without opening unless it is specifically addressed to me and includes family photos. However, this one caught my eye before I hit the delete button. I don't play video games or knit, but found this to be quite comical!

JB cards for all occasions

My daughter does play video games (but doesn't knit...yet) and invited a few friends over for a laid-back, belated birthday, hang out and play video games sleepover. While shopping for party munchies at our local Publix, she spotted this huge selection of Justin Beiber greeting cards and was horrified. Let's just say, she's not a big JB fan.

Good times

She seems to prefer classic rock. In the car this Van Halen song came on, and I overheard her telling her friends that her mom could sing the entire song and had a special head nodding dance to go with it. She sounded quite proud ;-)

Reality check

My teenager's pride helped ease the pain of receiving my AARP membership card in the mail. I knew it was coming, but still couldn't quite believe the mailing was addressed to me.

They have the 30 and 40 version as well

Did you read the part about "protecting the rights of all people over 50"? My eyes constantly seek out the number 50 now. This book grabbed my attention so much that I purchased it. I'll let you know if there's anything fun inside.

Keep calm and have a cupcake

All these 50th birthday reminders prompted me to buy a belated birthday red velvet cupcake. After all, technically I didn't have a birthday cake. Michelle and I even tried to find birthday cupcakes on Monday when we were together, but the cupcake bakery was closed.

Galactical BBQ

We did have really good barbecue though at the Smok'n Pig. I ordered 3 Bulls (prime rib sliders) with fried okra as one of my fixings. My daughter cracked me up when she asked what "fixings" were! I guess I haven't educated her as much as I should with my southern heritage.

Drive It Like You Stole It!

I'm not sure if I have ever seen an advertisement insert inside a restaurant menu before. I love the slogan so had to snap a picture, but I'm not giving a car dealer free advertising here so used my cropping tool ;-)
