Make time for the things that make your heart sing because
at some point the heart stops! B Longsden
Oh what a lot of laughter there was yesterday, there's no
better pain than when your belly hurts from laughing so much and that's where
we were as we walked back to the car!
We drove to Ironbridge, went for a walk round the shops,
bought my bestie a pressie as she couldn't come out to play ;) and posted it
from the post office there, there's a story there but I can't share it until
she receives the pressie! We ended up in
Queenies, the best cupcakery in the land with the loveliest owner, Claire is
like us, up for a giggle. I've been
before so I knew the cupcakes were good, this is the blog I wrote then http://wwbevsworld.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/you-can-have-your-cake-and-eat-it.html,
I can't believe that's 2 years ago!
So when we arrived, there was already a mom and child up the
counter, well we all know I love children, especially those really precocious
ones that ask what milkshakes do you have and when you reply "Chocolate,
vanilla, strawberry and banana" they reply "don't you have any
others", and ask the price of everything, she was all of 8! What's that all about, well I've sat down by
now, and AnnMarie can't fit through the gap to get to our table and I can see
she's fed up of waiting, when she looks at me and says "bored
now!" Eventually said darling and
mother leave the shop with their cupcakes and we get to look, we can't decide
so we choose 4 to share, isn't it a good job I've not been using my weeklies
for wine this week, don't forget I wasn't the healthiest at the beginning of
the week, so I missed food and have ProPoints to make up for! Anyway we opted for Lemon, Salted Caramel,
Snickerlicious and Rhubarb and Custard.
And of course in true ladies that lunch style, we shared them and graded
them, so in first place for me would be the Snickerlicious with Salted Caramel
in a close second, AnnMarie opted for the Salted Caramel as her winner, I
reckon the base of the salted caramel with the snickerlicious filling and a bit
of salted caramel mixed in would have
been epic! Getting excited here can you
tell! The lemon one was also truly
delicious. And I've suggested a custard
cream flavoured one which apparently Claire had been thinking about making
herself that very morning, see if only I didn't love my job so much I could
make amazing cupcakes, oh yeah and if I was good at baking!
So the next to walk in the shop, it was a day for funny folk
was a woman who wanted to share! She sat
down, then clocked us and moved closer, AnnMarie didn't see her do that so she
wasn't ready for what came next, I can spot a 'talk to me' a mile away and I
don't mind normally but today I'd got the giggles so I couldn't hold a serious
conversation and she started telling us about how she'd given up her job
because she makes bunting, aprons etc for cafes such as this and she was now
unemployed, as she's stood paying and about to leave she declares to the three
of us how she almost died recently, given 6 minutes to live she was, a Femoral
hernia she had! She kept saying "I'd
never heard of a femerol hernia and there I was with 6 minutes to live" I
can't remember if it was Claire or AnnMarie that made the mistake of saying
"where's a femerol hernia then?" Actually AnnMarie wouldn't have
asked, she wouldn't even turn round to look at the woman, so thanks to Claire
this ladies now stood in the middle of a cake shop rubbing her groin (for far
too long) to show us, I really thought we were about to be shown her
stitches! Oh there's sharing and there's
oversharing, as my bestie would say to me "Too Much Information" and
we're best mates, it's just not coffee shop banter with a stranger is it. So now I know all I'll ever need to know
about femerol hernias and all I wished I'd never known.
Well once she'd gone we got back to chatting about our
lovely day, I told Claire about the gift I'd sent my bestie and showed her the
very same gift because I'd bought for mom, turns out I'd got them mixed up,
without giving away what the gift is, it's in parts and I'd got the parts mixed
up, moms had one of Lynne's bits and obviously in the envelope about to be sent
special delivery to Lynne was one of moms, well we're all crying now, epic
fail! When a cocky chap walks in who
thinks he's a lady killer, not realising he's not impressing any of us, he
thinks we're laughing at him, which we aren't, we actually have funny things to
laugh at! Anyway I had to go back to the
post office and ask really nicely if I could change the contents of the parcel
I had just bought in, otherwise the gift would have no meaning at all! She let us thankfully and I know this
afternoon my bestie will giggle A LOT!
It's the kind of present only those closest to me would appreciate! The lady in the shop where we bought it was
SHOCKED when I actually walked to the till with it, she said, "Oh you're
buying them, I thought you were just going to take a picture of it!" Made
my day that did because how many of those 'gift shops' do people just walk
round, look at stuff and then leave!
So that was my day and we drove back to real life, I dropped
AnnMarie off then went via KFC to get mom her chicken I'd promised her, and YES
I can have KFC folks so can everyone else on Weight Watchers
regular
fries 9pp
Corn
cobettes x 2 = 4pp
2 pieces
of original chicken 13pp
However not everyone will order it how I did! If you've been to the Bloxwich one you order
one side of the building and drive round the other side to collect, well at
some of these drive-thrus there's not always someone at the order window and so
you drive to the pay window and order there, which was what I did, as no one
came to the order window when I arrived or asked for my order over a
tannoy. So I've drove round the building
and realise there isn't a pay window just a collect, so I get the attention of
the chap in front of me and shout "did you order round there?", of
course he did, now I can't reverse, one in case someone comes whizzing round
and hits me and two because I ain't the best reverser, so instead I turn my
engine off and walk back round to the order window, a cars obviously pulling up
to order, the couple in the car realise what I'm doing but the KFC lady opens
the window and I say "Is this the order window", she replies,
"Erm yes, are you walking round?" So I explain no, my car's round
there waiting for me ;) and we laugh and she serves me and then I realise she
wants paying and my purse is in the car so I have to run round and fetch
it! So I pay and walk round the drive
thru back to my car - ONLY ME! When the
car with the couple pull up behind me they start giggling again and I'm
guessing that'll be because of the big "Weight Watcher" sticker in my
back window - I CAN HAVE KFC FOLKS! Lol ;)
5 hours out of the hour, barely a signal on my phone and
giggles with a great mate, what a difference that can make, do more of what
makes you happy BeYOUtiful, enjoy your weekend, I'm going to.
