Today was a far different day from yesterday. If you were to examine my ability to get done the things that I planned to do today, you would say that all was well. So it would seem. My appointment went well with the Social Security office, and I mailed our 2006 taxes. I might add that this is the first time in several years that we haven’t filed an extension (thanks to my sister-in-law, Mary). I even sorted through our files and threw out the tax returns that were older than 7 years. I went clear back to 1994.
Pretty much all went as well as could be expected. The only issue was that I was an emotional basket case from about lunchtime onward.
I had the post-cry headache raging by the time I picked up the kids from school. So, with McDonalds on the way, I stopped by the store for broccoli salad and a bottle of Merlot.
Oh, and did I mention that I also picked up Tom’s remains at the mortuary today? The family was together again for another gourmet meal. Not. I whined and dined with my McDonald’s hamburger, fries, broccoli salad and a glass of merlot.

Mmmmmmm. The breakfast of champions! You did say breakfast? right? LOL. I think your quest for BQ is awesome. The world doesn’t stop for us. Keep chasing your dreams. This one I want to see you haul in.

I’m impressed that you added the salad and the wine, and that you put it on a plate!
Tough day – probably one of the hardest.

That is a hard thing to do and you got through it. McDonald’s and Merlot – clearly a winning combination.

At least you plated your McDonald’s. On my best day I am usually found eating Taco Bell right out of the wrapper standing over the sink. Very classy.

Actually…
I am not sure if I “plated” the McDs more to go with the wine & salad or more for the blog photo.

What, no Irish Car Wrecks? Hey…I start training for my second attempt at my first marathon again this Saturday, and I’m dragging 6 island ladies into it with me. We’re running for you ~ even though you’ve never met them, you’re our inspiration. Love you, baby!

Nice. Wine and McD’s. ;)
