Anniversary dinner at Red Robin

My mom sent Jon and I some money for our Anniversary, and insisted that we treat ourselves to dinner! We had little Scarlett with us, which was just fine! We love Red Robin. Only Jon says it's not a "real" Red Robin here because they don't have fry sauce. In fact, they don't even know what it is. The first time we went there since moving to Maryland, we asked for fry sauce and they said "Huh??? What??" So...I guess it really is just a Utah thing! Here is a picture from our outing. Jon was taking the picture. Scarlett does not look very happy, but she loved her Mac and Cheese nonetheless! We love hanging out together!

A day and a half with no electricity.......

.....is NOT fun!!!!

We were one of the millions here on the East Coast, that was hit by the awful storm (of which, there was NO warning whatsoever)! Friday night the electricity went out. Saturday EVERYONE had the same idea, "Let's go to breakfast and to the mall since we don't want to sit in our house with no AC!" A few spots here and there didn't have problems with power lines. No one wanted to sit at home in their sweltering hot houses, so everyone was out and about, trying to cool off in public places! At home: No TV. No internet. No phone. No computer. Nothing!! I found myself so bored, I sat and colored in Scarlett's Tangeled coloring book for an our while she took a nap! Last night it was SO hot. I got no sleep. The dogs were even panting IN the house. Ahhhhh!!!! Power wasn't supposed to be on till Monday, or even Wednesday this next week. BUT, luckily, around 9 am, the power in our neighborhood turned back on!! Hallelujiah!!! I am SO glad. Living with no electricity in this heat and humidity, is AWFUL!!! Yay for electricity!!!! (I don't think I will ever take it for granted again)

Swimming Suits

While searching for swimming suits this Summer, I have been SO confused as to why whole piece swimsuits range from 100-150 dollars??!! Why? Come on, it can't possibly cost more than 30 bucks (at MOST) to make a swimsuit. I just don't understand. I never remember one piece suits costing that much! Anyway, I found these 2 swimming suits. One of them is 97 dollars, and the other, 33. I went with the 33 dollar suit, thank you (Yes, I know, I am a cheep-O. I just decided my family needed to eat, more than I needed that dang 97 dollar swimming suit!) But really? Can you even tell THAT much of a difference?! I ordered mine, it came in the mail today, AND.......I LOVE IT!! It's so nice to have a beach 2 miles down the road. If only my child liked the beach......But the good news is, after we paid several times to get in, we were informed (a little late...) that for military, all you have to do is flash your handy military ID card, and.......You get in for free!! Ahhh, the perks of being military.

This suit, 33 dollars ......

This suit, 97 dollars.......
