Wise BBQ Chips

How come at a job the people who do all the work always get more dumped on thier plate with little appreciation and no extra money while the folks who don't do jack get the promotions and raises? Does it make any sense? Actually I guess it does because the people doing the dumping are the now managers who were yesterdya's total slackers. Going through crap at work that just pisses me off but hey I need my job so I can't quit yet and tell them all to plant a big, wet, juicy, sloppy one dead on the crack of my big ol ....uh hm you get the idea. LOL

But on a lighter note, Nikki is coming back down in 35 days - YAY (yes she was just here a couple of weeks ago for her Bday)...She is an absolute Disney freak...while Teyonna and I are Princesses so we are going to the Wine and Food Festival for the weekend at EPCOT. Should be a lot of fun. Trying to squeeze in afternoon tea at the Grand Floridian while we are out there. And of course we have to go to the Magic Kingdom and check out the new and improved Pirates of the Caribbean ride complete with Capt Jack Sparrow...woohoo! She told me to watch out because this will be Disney - Nikki style and I told her to watch out because it will be Disney -Princess Style. smile.

We were cracking up because she reminded me of our shared love of BBQ Wise potato chips and how when she was here we went grocery shopping and they were out of them! We both just stood there looking at the empty shelves and each other - totally at a lost for what to do. Teyonna was like "what's the big deal?" I am not sure who gasped louder, Nik or me...LOL Poor Tey she just does not understand yet the un-ignorable (a word? lol) food cravings of 2 pleasing plump, single, depressed, PMSing women..LOL

So I was like hey there is a 7-11 down the street, I will pull up front and you run in. Nikki was like deal! So we hurried up and checked out - since there was other food in the basket afterall and peeled out of the parking lot to travel the 1.5 miles to 7-11. Where Nikki came out empty handed! DAMN THEM!!!! For the love of God didn't anyone understand? LOL

So then I said well there is another grocery store a couple more miles down the road but parking is a nightmare so I will just idle out front. We all held on for a bumpy ride because by this point we both knew we would not be going home without those durn chips!!! Even if we had to drive to where the hell ever they make them and camp out. While I sat out front just hoping and praying that she would find them, time ticked by and I started to get anxious. So I whipped into a newly vacated spot, effectively cutting off some chick who was so NOT in a hurry ( total nother rant right there, why do people get on the road at 5:30 in the morning if they have no freakin place to go and drag thier asses? ) ok back to regularly scheduled program - LOL

I ran in the door and blessed be there was Nik and Teyonna in line with not 1 but 2 bags of those beautiful chips! Our eyes met and she held them up victoriously and we both almost did a touchdown dance right there in the store. LOL . It was a wonderful ride home, full of laughter and song, so unlike the tension filled desperate flight in search of Wise BBQ potato chip!

Just had to share that story because I am sure the security cameras in the first store caught our expressions and how still we were and they wondered what are those two up to? lol

peace, love & hairgrease,
