Slurpee-licious!

Once in a long while, 7eleven gives birth to a Slurpee flavor that far surpasses that of their traditional cherry and cola flavors, and today was that day. At first, I passed over the SpongeBob SquarePants Slurpee placard for the simple fact that it was SpongeBob. However, upon further examination I realized that Mr. Pants was advertising a delicious Pineapple flavored Slurpee today! Although it is rainy today, I decided to get a 40 oz. of Pineapple Slurpee and a Welch's Strawberry Soda to top off the Slurpee during the slurping process. It was gooooooood! And it still is, well, the the Slurpee is now about 73% Strawberry Soda now.

So far my all-time Slurpee flavors are...

- Grape (they need to bring that back)
- Sour Green Apple
- and Pineapple

When none of the above is available, I default to the traditional cherry or cola flavors. The ultimate is to have a Sour Green Apple Slurpee with a Green Apple Smirnoff Twist topper, yummy!

I need to stay late at work for a 3 on 3 basketball tournament tonight, it should be a quick and easy gig. I wonder what I should grab for a quick dinner... fried chicken from Albertson’s, maybe a value meal from Carl's Jr.? It is pay day, perhaps a dinner from that BBQ joint on Hopyard. The choices are endless and I have 2 hours to decide.

In related news, I wonder what kind of food will be at Lily’s birthday party tomorrow. I am quickly starting to learn that food is a low priority for most party givers and I am getting DAMN sick of it! I just hope that Lisa and I don’t make a big ‘ole trip for her niece’s birthday party only for me to be disappointed in the food. Last time I took a trip up to Petaluma for a family outing (Fathers Day 2004), the return on investment was WAY low, but I did grill the hell out of some short ribs that day. I’m not big on traveling long distances to cook, clean and serve only to come back home and clean the stuff I just dirtied two hours ago. The only exception is a camping trip where folks are chillin’ for a good amount of time. Ah well, what will be cool about going up to Petaluma tomorrow is, well… umm… I guess I will just go and see what’s cool because I am at a loss here.
