Food

Yesterday we had my parents over for dinner. Manny grilled some burgers and I cut up fruit. We went to Kroger to choose fruit earlier during the day. Manny just wanted a cantaloupe, but people who know me know about the time I ate half a watermelon. Yum! Manny let me get a watermelon :-)

We were knocking on the watermelons trying to choose a good one. I found one that had a nice deep thud only to get home and discover it wasn't any good at all. It wasn't even pink!!!! I was very disappointed. I went out to Manny who was grilling on the patio to tell him that we had bought a dud watermelon. He later came inside to see the watermelon...

Apparently there are different color watermelons! Yay! I knew it tasted like watermelon, it just didn't look right. You can see in the picture where I dug out pieces of watermelon with my finger to taste test it. Haha! I was very excited it wasn't a dud.

We had a discussion later that night about picking a good watermelon. My dad does the knocking method, but my mom picks one that looks pretty. My dad said his dad would look for bug tracks because bugs know sweet watermelons.

Also, for dinner Manny picked a cantaloupe. It was perfectly ripe!

 And we had appetizers Mexican style!

My amazing husband made half pound burgers and apparently one of them was bigger than the rest. He had his eye on it, but unknowingly, I picked it. Haha oops! Hopefully he forgets about that :-)

Dinner was great! Good food and wonderful company. Parents are awesome!

I've always been told that you shouldn't go grocery shopping on an empty stomach, but I had never been told not to go grocery shopping with your husband...  We were walking around Kroger buying our groceries for the next two weeks and stuff for dinner tonight since my parents are coming over, I needed to get some leave-in treatment for my hair so I tugged Manny's shirt to get his attention. This older man gave me a strange look, but hey, he was following his wife around like a puppy dog so maybe that was a face of "help me!" So I get Manny on the shampoo aisle... While I'm looking for leave-in, he's off farther down the aisle. All of a sudden I hear him yell "Hey! Do you need more underwear?!?" I turn to see an old man giving us a weird look because Manmy was holding this up...

OLD PEOPLE UNDERWEAR!!!!!!!! I guess that's payback for all the times I did the same thing to my mom at Walmart. Hahahahaa!! This isn't the only reason not to take your husband grocery shopping though... We ended up with candy, cookies, and ice cream. I know he works hard for his money, so he's allowed to splurge...Sometimes. I'm definitely a penny pincher, so allowing him to splurge is hard for me. Eeeekkk!!! 

So there you have it, don't take your husband grocery shopping. For me, I don't have a choice. I do not push shopping carts! Gross. I refuse to even touch one when it's been wiped with a disinfectant wipe. I don't do shopping cart germs, so Manny pushes the cart. I had a dream last night that I had to push a shopping cart. Manny's response was "That must've been a nightmare!" It was. I will load my arms up and take multiple trips before I'd push the cart. 

On a dream side note, I had a dream that my sister had her baby. It was a beautiful baby girl. My oldest sister got to see the baby first, so I asked her what the baby's name was. I thought she was going to say Emma because my sister always liked that name but nope!  They had named the baby Manone (muh-no-knee). Not sure the origin of that name, but we were all excited! The baby had long black hair, brown eyes, and olive skin. So cute! But probably switched at birth... My sister and brother-in-law have blue eyes, light skin, and brown hair.

I have been having some crazy dreams. Not sure what's been going on in my head. Alright well time to wake up my husband so we can fire up the grill! Yay! I love summer :-)
