Ten days of vacation. Man. I do not want to go back to work today at all. I will probably get to meet the new division manager today. My boss is off so I am supposed to help out one of the new managers with closing out her paperwork. It is shaping up to be a long day already, but perhaps I can get out of there at a decent time.

The Wife and kids are out on Spring Break until next week. She has to go back on Monday and the kids go back Tuesday. Luckily I get next Monday off so will spend the day with them. Unluckily I only have one day off next week because it’s a holiday.

Some of you will remember my post last week about the Chocolate Jesus:

I spent a couple of hours at the hated Wally World this afternoon getting various foodstuffs for the weekend. I need to run to the liquor store in Carrollton tomorrow or Friday for beer and perhaps a few other sundries. I also need to get another load of mulch, but I am pretty much finished other than that.

Whilst I was wandering the aisles of the wondrous warehouse attempting to avoid large asses with cartloads of screaming curtain climbers and rug rats I came across the EASTER CANDY AISLE. Of course I had to get some Ferrero Rocher chocolates. While perusing I ran across nothing other than a chocolate cross, in white and milk chocolates of course. I never could find the chocolate Jesus to go with it. I am assuming that they sold out and that’s why there was still such a glut of Easter Bunnies there.

Maybe come the holiday season at the end of the year I can pick up a chocolate nativity scene. With all the folks that are usually in the Nativity, I could spend a week or two eating the little buggers.

I particularly enjoyed Mr Fabulous’ comment in my entry:

It would have been cool if they had a chocolate Jesus. Then all you would need is some peppermint nails…

No doubt. What I was not aware of at the time is what a damn fuss was just starting to go on about another Chocolate Jesus as reported by the Zero Boss as well as a shitload of other bloggers and news sites. Damn, I wish I had thought about this one first. I would melt down the Easter Bunny in a heartbeat to mold my own savory savior. I was back over at The Zero Boss this morning looking at the Sugar Rush and came across this site called the Chocolate Deities Oh my. A veritable godly amount of theobromine just for me.

…er, women that is. I don’t know where the heck she found it, but Dr. Doches has found the funniest damn picture of Al Gore that I have seen in awhile but you have to read the post first.

As much as I hate going to Wal-Mart, where the heck else can you go for two new tires, milk, and zantac all in one stop. That’s where I’ve been this afternoon. I’ve been needing tires on the back of the Neon for awhile now anyway as one of them has a slow leak that has been developing into a much faster one. The last time I bought tires I went to Kelly-Springfield, but there isn’t one out near me. RePete and I went and window shopped and I got her a little dish, bowl, and cup set that had the Disney princesses on them. Hey, it’s the little things that make the little ones happy.
After that we decided to go to Sonic for a couple of milkshakes. Not to mention the extra long cheese coney and tater tots. Damn, sometimes you just gotta have a bit of the old junk food. It rocked. She enjoyed going as well. I couldn’t get her to touch the coney, but she did share my tater tots with me. We didn’t do anything particularly special, but sometimes it’s the small things that count for that parent-child time.
You know, I forgot what I was posting here and hit publish. Duh.
Shortly before RePete and I left Sonic, this guy and his family drive up in their Expedition and order drinks. I guess at Sonic you can get your fountain drinks with all kinds of add-ins for a little bit more. After they had paid, the guys beeps them back out and starts raising hell about paying six buxks for something that should have cost four something. The girl explained pretty thoroughly about the add-ins, etc and the guy just kept on raising hell. I was getting embarrassed for the girl (and the guys family) because he was being such a dick. Sometimes it just does not pay to be in customer service.

I think someone said that the next stop is somewhere in Tennessee.
