What: The list of fried includes - apple pies, donuts, buffalo chicken, wontons, egg rolls, sesame chicken, onion rings, oreos, and mozz cheese sticks (that is the condensed version folks)

We will need:
LOTS of oil (we've already got 35lbs) and antacids

This. Will. Be. Documented.

P.S. - Grey has already eaten HALF of his cookie cake. :)

GACC

GACC - the Great American Cookie Company.

We have a history.  On our second date ever, Grey and I were wondering around the mall when we stumbled upon GACC.  Grey insisted that he get a cookie so we stopped to let him pick one out and eat it.  With one bite gone, he then said, "Becky - your cookies are amazing, but you need to strive for this."

I of course was livid - like thought about dumping him that moment livid.  To this day, whenever it gets brought up, it ends up being a "tense" moment.  Grey will tell you that I misunderstood him.  He will tell you that no one can beat a James woman's cookie.  It was a mere error in judgement that one fateful night.  Grey will also tell you that he has paid dearly for that particular comment.  According to him, I have refused to bake cookies for him SINCE then (this would be going on 3 1/2 years now)...

Poor guy.

GACC got brought up a couple of weeks ago.  Apparently, G-dawg has always dreamed of a batman cookie cake for his birthday.  I even asked if I could bake him one to substitute and he sadly said that even though he would REALLY appreciate it and love it (he's learned huh?), it just wouldn't be the same. 

I went to GACC two weeks ago in search of one.  They don't and will never make batman ones.  Bummer.
I however got a brilliant idea -buy a plain one and decorate it myself! :) So here's to the batman cookie cake that instead of being a "happy birthday" surprise, it'll be a "Happy finishing of your first semester of grad school" surprise!

Date night

Date night was supposed to include Batman Begins and Icees.
Grey and I spent an hour traveling around Spartanburg looking for icees. :(

We even called Kristi and Dan and had them download the Icee app to tell us where the closest one was.

We went to Burger King, Spinx, the mall, and Sam's.  Either:
1. The flavors that we wanted weren't available (cherry and blue raspberry)
2. The flavors that we wanted weren't working (cherry and blue raspberry)
3. Every dang place, including the drink place inside Target, apparently closes at 9 and we were on our adventure from 8:45-9:45.

We finally went back to Spinx to try one of their frozen slushies.  Mine was blue raspberry.  It poured straight liquid from the spout.  I took my cup up to the front and told them that even though the machine said that it was working, it wasn't.  The lady at the front said, "Oh no!  It's supposed to be fluffy."  I agreed and kindly told her to look in my cup at all the watery liquid.  She looked at it and said, "no, that looks right, it's fluffy."

Um no ma'dam. It's not. Straight up liquid.  Watch me swirl it around in the cup.

I left VERY disappointed with my blue "slush".

ALSO today, I tried to make an appointment for noon.  The woman asked me 4 different times, what time I wanted.  I responded each time, more emphatically than the last that I wanted NOON.  Finally on the 5th time, she said rather emphatically herself, "What time do you want?!  9:30?  11:30?  12?  12:30?" 
I then realized that she didn't know that noon was 12 so I just said 12 and left.  Geez.

Bad kitties!

Grey and I spent about an hour laying out all of the squares re-arranging everything to the order that we wanted.

We came back from church and LOOK. Grrrr. They don't look sorry at all.

Apparently it's already the "cool place to hang out"

Coming along

(Sorry for the bad quality in pictures)

Cow Appreciation Day

Is today. July 13th.
Every year, I sit back and watch my very cool friends, KPS and SCP get themselves and their hubbies all dressed up like cows.

The rules - you go partially dressed like a cow to Chickfila on a day like today and you get a free entree.  You go fully dressed (from head to toe) and you get an entire meal for free!!!

This year is the year that I will no longer sit back and watch cool people get AWESOME food for free.  No sir.

LOOK OUT!!!!!

We paid 17 cents for all of this (due to one of us getting lemonade)!!!

WE LOVE CHICKFILA!!!!!
