Kickin' it at D&K's

Barb is currently on vacay with her maam (mom) at the Happiest Place on Earth!! She is probably hanging with Minnie Mouse doing her hair or tap dancing. So instead of writing about a topic we can both chime in on, I'm just going to talk about myself. It's kind of what I do best.

Last night I made the trek to mom and dads house in the East Bay. If you have had the pleasure of meeting D&K you truly know how awesome they are. I was never one of those kids that thought my parents were annoying or strict, they were just always cool. It might have something to do with the fact that being the youngest of four they didn't really care too much what I did as long as I didn't kill anyone in the process.

Tuesday and Thursday I usually do the "Bay Area Loop" (SF to Fremont, Fremont to Danville, Danville to SF) but I was really tired and had no desire to drive that much so I made a semi-circle (SF to Fremont, Fremont to Danville). The thing about going to D&K's is that I usually get a pretty good dinner and I can eat that dinner while I watch Jeopardy and my mom tells me how smart I am. It's a win/win, who wouldn't want that.

After a nice chicken salad and being told I was a genius I decided to snuggle up on the couch with my kitty, a blanket and the remote. Mom joined me for some American Idol, with commercial switching to Biggest Loser and then once Dancing with the Stars started I started to throw that in the surfing mix. Not going to lie, it was hard but I don't think we missed a beat on any of the three shows. Oh and I did this all while eating left over cake my dad made. Since all these shows seem to think the American viewing public has nothing else to do, each one was at least an hour and a half. We started at 8 and ended at 11 but I felt it was fine to watch it since we don't have cable (officially) at the Steiner house. Where was I going with this... Oh yeah!

This morning as I am leaving my parents place to head to my day job that doesn't really pay me to be writing this now but I guess since I am technically they are my mom said the sweetest thing.

"Thanks for watching TV with me last night. It was fun!"

Mom! You're welcome! I'm actually really good at it and I am thinking about adding to my resume.
