So how was your holiday?
That sounds like the perfect holiday. How do you feel about the McD’s sweet tea? I’m sure you have gathered by now that I am a big beverage person. I went to McD’s THE DAY AFTER I saw the commercial for the sweet tea. I was quite excited. I have to say mine was…. weird. It had a brown powder in it. Fresh brewed with POWDER? I really want to give it a second chance. I love sweet tea, my mom makes it perfect and it reminds me of my grandma. Also, my mom doesn’t charge me a buck.
Was the 4th so good you decided to list it twice? ;)
Eek… we went to a friends daytime party, which was great… but then we met up with a second group of friend’s at Naperville’s “Rib Fest”…(not a great place for non-meat eaters- but a snuck in a tomato and cheese sandwich- despite the bags being searched in line for such contraband). We saw REO Speedwagon- yes, you read that correctly…and during the fireworks after the first song, “The Star Spangled Banner”, the DJ’s played “Start Me Up” by the Rolling Stones- does anyone else see the irony in that?
