Occasionally, I'll go to lunch with some coworkers to a local restaurant called Buffalo Brothers. They have an amazing buffalo chicken pizza that I absolutely crave. On this particular day we were treated to a tranny waiting tables:
And here he is actually trying to flirt with the regular waitresses:
The sad part - this was a stunt by a local radio station. Evidently this doofus is the morning dj that's the constant butt of all the jokes. Someone needs to tell these dummies that dudes in dresses just aren't funny anymore. Way to recycle an idea that died about 20 years ago.
With each new day we see more and more talent emerge in Sam. He talks better than most kids in his class. He's quick on his feet and can count to 12. Recently we hit Target for some outdoor toys - it's getting nicer and he's got tons of energy now. So here are two more talents we've discovered - Toy Trasher:
and Soccer Star:
Sometimes we don't feel like cooking or pouring a bowl of cereal for breakfast, so we head out. It's very rare though - we usually do lunch out. But this morning, we decided to head to Panera for some pastries. Even though Sam didn't like the muffin top he chose, or mommy's souffle - he did seem to like daddy's bagel with cream cheese.
We like to take Sam to the grocery store with us. He enjoys going up and down the aisles and helping to put things in the cart. He especially likes it when we get one of the car carts for him to ride.
Sometime when we're feeling adventurous, we'll let him have the free sugar cookie at Harris Teeter and then run around. The other night, we may have pushed our luck. By the time we got to the end of the store, he became a little grocery store terror. It was so bad that daddy had to carry him through the remaining aisles. Here he is being carried next to his favorite big purple foot (Barefoot Wine):
I drive down Capital Blvd every day to get to and from work. Sometimes I get to see some carnage from an accident, sometimes I just see jerky drivers cutting people off - and by people I mean me! But recently I've noticed that at one of the intersections, located in front of a Taco Bell, there tends to be someone holding a huge US Flag. Sometimes it's a man, sometimes it's a woman - they have no signs and don't appear to be holding any type of protest. They're just showing their love for our country - or either they like getting the honks and waves from motorists passing by. I think it's nice.
Do you remember that Speed Buggy cartoon from when we were kids? It brought notoriety to the oversized 4x4 go kart called the Dune Buggy. Well since I haven't lived at the beach in over 10 years, I haven't seen one in a while. But when I was out picking up lunch this week, I saw one right here in Raleigh. A little far from the beach I think - but still pretty cool to see.
For Mother's Day, we went to my favorite restaurant Ted's Montana Grill. I love me some bison and Sam loves their homemade mac-n-cheese. He's getting to be such a big boy that he's even using a real fork these days like a pro. Check out his focus:
I got a call from my favorite niece this week. She was down in Oriental with her dad and brother visiting my mom. While they were there, Chris (dad) decided that it was time for the kids to get their summer haircuts. So he took JC (brother) to a real barber shop - his first time, how cool. And Alexis (favorite niece) got to go with Nana to the beauty parlor and the mall for a girls day (I might be a little jealous).
When I talked to her she told me that she had decided to cut off her long hair and donate it to Locks of Love - which is the same organization that I donated my hair. They create wigs for kids with cancer who lose their hair during chemotherapy. I could not have been more proud of her. It was completely her idea and I think it's absolutely FANTASTIC! Check out her new hairdo - and new dress and accessories. She's even more beautiful on the inside - what a wonderful young lady!
Sam loves a cape - ever since his dad stuffed a little blankie in the back of his shirt. Now he's gotten in the habit of wearing his coat like a cape - and conveniently running all around the house. It's cute - but can be a little frustrating when it's actually cool outside and he needs to wear it like a coat. Oh well - at least summer is almost here. Check out our little super hero in action:
On my way home from work the other day, I noticed this little fender bender. Normally, this wouldn't be of much interest - except that the cop was out there still. But when I noticed that the car at fault (the one in the back) still had the dealer stickers in the windows and dealer tags on the back - I knew that doofus just completed his most expensive test drive ever.
On May 2, I had the day off and did some running around town - as usual. I seem to be busier on my fridays off than when I'm working. Anyway, I went to the WalMart Supercenter in Clayton for a book signing. I know what you're thinking - a book signing at WalMart? It's really a great marketing move - they have tons of stores and millions of customers. But this wasn't just any ordinary book signing - it was former President Jimmy Carter signing his new book dedicated and about his mother called 'A Remarkable Mother.' What a great gift for Mother's Day, right? Yes!
I have great admiration for Pres. Carter. Sure he made a few mistakes within his Presidency, but overall he's a great man who's done so much for our country and our world. And the fact that he's a good southern man is just the whipped cream on top! So it shouldn't be surprising that I was very excited to get to actually see him and possibly meet him.
When I arrived 30 mins early - I just happened to be behind the mini motorcade. When I got inside I noticed that the line was already very long. I got a little nervous. But then they had some workers coming around and they said he would be there for a full 2 hours and that he can sign 10 books in 15 seconds - is that a record or an exaggeration? Anyway, the line moved quickly and they told me that I would get a chance to take a picture. The bad news was that I'd only have 10 seconds to take the picture and it would be behind others that were in front of him to get their books signed. UGH!
So, as I laid my books down I couldn't hold back. I had to say something. So this is what I said - "Thank you so much Mr. Carter. I absolutely adore you and Ms. Rosalyn." 'Mr' Carter? I called a former President, Mr? I didn't thank him for the many humanitarian efforts that he and his wife are continually involved with? Ok, so I don't do that well under pressure - noted. What was really sweet was that he looked up, straight at me and said this - "I...I like you too." Hee hee - how funny is that? Maybe he doesn't do so well under pressure either. I was absolutely giddy for the rest of the day. And I did manage to get this picture below - it's not the best or what I had truly hoped for (a pic of me standing beside him), but it was better than most others that were taken.
How cute is he? I still get giddy when I see this pic.

Then I got to see a mini version of rednecks on parade. Now, don't get me wrong, I remember riding in the back of pickup trucks as a kid - but I was a bit younger and had more clothes on. Hey, that hat matches his farmer tan!
And then I learned that I live in a whole state full of sinners. At least according to this guy - he's urging the whole state to repent. That's quite a hefty request.
How cute is he? I still get giddy when I see this pic.
