Jon was with me and he was not in a shopping mood
guy
(which I honestly can’t fathom because I’m in a shopping mood 96% of the time).
girl
I got her one like a year ago and she finally confessed to me that she’s never used it because she doesn’t want to waste it! So I promised to bring her another one so she could finally use it
And now she has
two bath bombs that she's afraid to use!
I forgot to pack setting spray, and if you know anything about makeup, you know how big of a deal setting spray is.
Oh sure. Yup. Uh, huh. Absolutely.
I think he’s just really used to me spending half a day at the makeup store
Poor devil.
(well I found stuff I wanted but Jon was giving me the look so I didn’t buy any of it).
oooh… Can he teach me this look?
There was hugging, there was laughing, there was a tragic clown juggling violins WHILE playing them… JK hahaha I don’t hug.
First up- apps and drinks at The Edison.
Awesome! How did you like The Edison??? (apart from the food, I mean)
For apps we decided to split three- the deviled eggs, chips and guac, and of course the clothesline candied bacon.
Not a fan of guac, but the rest sounds amazing!
[They are topped with potatoes. This is groundbreaking. I shan’t ever look at deviled egg again unless it comes adorned with crispy potato strings.]
Holy cow. Want!
[This photo is blurry because I was in such a hurry to ingest the bacon that a clear photo was simply impossible to obtain.]
Totally understandable.
our main course reservation was at one of my fave WDW restaurants- Homecomin(g).
mmm...
so want to try it there.
When we went inside and I told them who we are, the hostess looked at my funny, checked her computer, whispered mysteriously to her coworker then looked back to me and asked me to spell my name (honestly, I can’t remember exactly if she wanted me to spell my name or do some other identification thing but it was some simple way to prove that I was who I said I was).
“I’m really sorry about this, but that group just checked in under your name.”
I'm sorry...
WHAT????
But I suppose they can't just kick out customers? Maybe?
The server apologized profusely to us and later the manager (or some kind of person in management) also came by to apologize. Thankfully we’re all chill people so it really was fine.
That's all I ask. If a mistake is made, then simply acknowledge it. And if possible...
Both couples got the fried chicken dinner to split, plus a side of mac and cheese (and I got an extra biscuit because Ann Doesn’t Share Bread). It was all amazing, as usual and we’re all very happy that we chose to split the meals because it’s SO much food.
mmm... want that chicken.
Side note: fried chicken is my favorite food. Like my number one thing to eat. And Homecomin(g) is in my top 5 favorite fried chicken places that I’ve ever visited
Oh! High praise indeed!
So... what are your other top 5 fried chicken places?
They came by when we were finished and pretty much offered us free dessert as a gesture for what happened with check in
… if possible, offer to take something off the menu or offer something on the house.
So all good.
And I had a MAJOR brain fart (can I say fart here? Is that too crude? If fart is too crude, please pretend I didn't just say fart four times) and said NO. Why Ann? Why??
Fart is fine. So is toot, poot, fluff, pass gas, wind, air biscuit, barking spider, butt trumpet, cut the cheese, let one rip, let one go, step on a duck and trouser cough.
You're welcome.
My line of thinking was thus: we already had plans to go eat Sprinkles for dessert as the finale to our progressive dinner. I had been looking forward to specifically Sprinkles for months. PLUS we were already super stuffed and wanted to wait a little bit before eating dessert.
Well... I suppose I can understand that, but...
There were obvious flaws in my logic- the biggest being that I could have asked for dessert to go and we could all have saved it for the next day.
… there ya go.
I once again avoided purchasing anything because now not only was Jon still giving me the look but P was giving A the look and it was just too many looks for me to handle.
Looks like it.
I got the cupcake sundae with a strawberry cupcake and Captain Crunch ice cream, and Jon got the sundae but with a banana chocolate cupcake and cookie dough ice cream.
And with that... I believe I am all caught up.
