Vacation

Who in life can afford to go on vacation? It's ridiculous. I just got back from the money sucking pit called Disney World and now I'm trying to look and see where we can go next. I was hoping it could be later this year, maybe Boston or Chicago but geez, it took me a year to save up for Disney. Hotel, plane, food, souvenirs (or SILVERnirs as my dad calls them).

Now all of you out there (or perhaps just my one follower HI KATRINA)may be thinking "just put in on a credit card" but Homey don't play that. I believe that if you don't have the cash for something then it's God's way of saying "Yo, you can't afford that shit". (Sometimes God is a Homey too..although no one says Yo or Homey anymore. God is old school) Then what about when you have frikkin kids? Who can afford to have one of those little money grubbers? It's cool up until they are 3 and then you have to start paying for their shit and then they grow out of that stage where you can take them to restaurants for "kids eat free" night.

What happens with Progeria kids at kids eat free night? Technically they are kids, but health-wise they are adults. (Do they qualify for that Senior Citizen 1% discount you get a Publix or Harris Teeter?) I believe that meals at restaurants should be divided into categories of people, not age. I have the stomach of a mouse but when I try to order off the kids meal I get charged more. Why? Restaurants should classify you as 'small', 'average', or 'large' and then they should have menus to fit the category in which you fall. You should be able to deviate from your chosen category to allow for people who are dieting or binging. I don't need an all you can eat buffet, I need the one plate buffet. I hate buffets but that's beside the point, sometimes my husband wants to go and I have to with. I pay 15.00 for one plate or I try to gorge myself to get my moneys worth and then I immediately feel like purging.

I am happy to see that Applebess and Logans now offer meals that are less than 550 calories. I had one of these meals at Logans and it was extremely tiny but I was satisfied and I felt good afterwards. I think Applebees is the shit stain of chain restaurants but this new menu might get me back in the door.

That's all I have for now...

  1. I like thinking that God is a homey. And old school. It comforts me somehow.
