The RARE Day Date

If you are a couple with young kids, then you know how rare the "DAY DATE" is...

I actually prefer a day date.  I am what I call a "Happy Hour" girl.  Meaning, I like to drink and go out between the hours of 2pm-6pm when the opportunity presents itself.  If I'm feeling randy, then I may push it until 8pm (I know, I'm a rebel. Be afraid) But I have always said (and if you've known me for a while, then you've heard me say this) nothing good comes out of a bar past 10pm.  The hubby "BDG" and I got the opportunity at a Day Date last Sunday.  See how excited I am??!  I had to take a random selfie in its honor!



So one of my goals for 2014 is to visit as many Virginia Wineries as I possibly can.  I had wanted to check out a few in the New Kent area, but after being up since 4:30am for inventory at work, I decided I was too tired for the drive.  So "BDG" and I decided on staying local and I'm sooooo glad we did!  We decided to spend our Day Date and the Dog Street Pub in Colonial Williamsburg.  I had no expectations of the place good or bad.  I remember when it first opened, "Red Baby" was only a month old so our free time was a lil preoccupied with her.  But I had heard good things about the food from family members, so that's where we went... And boy was I surprised!  I was actually shocked because my family members only commented about how good the food is and when we got there and got our menus, there is 1 page dedicated to food and 2 whole large pages AND a specials menu dedicated to beer, ciders, meads ect... My Day Date cup floweth over!!  It felt like hitting the Day Date Jackpot!!! Maybe I need new family members?! lol just kidding, I love the ones I have!

See, TWO full pages of BEER!

 



AND a Beer Specials Menu

 

I have to say that it was very educational as well.... On the menus are a lil history part about the beer and also the alcohol content.  The beer specials menu is where you can order what they call a "taste."  It's actually a sample of the beer in a 5ounce glass. Perfect for getting together with friends and sampling.  The food was exceptional too. 

 

 When you first get seated, they immediately bring you out a growler of ice cold water. 

 

 

 Yummy Fish n Chips

 What not to order tho is this pictured above.. It's good and all but you can get it in your local grocery store for 1.00, not the menu price of 4.00

 

 "BDG" ordered an iceberg lettuce salad.. he had no idea it was a full head of lettuce.  BONUS!

 

And a plate of deviled eggs, which he quickly killed 3 upon their arrival.  I have never seen a restaurant serve deviled eggs.  Another BONUS!

 

And I decided to go with a Cider.  I love ciders and have never tried a pear one, which means it is actually called a Perry (per the menu)  It was really good. 

 

 

Overall, I more than recommend this place and I am looking forward to going back!  Here is the link to their website, check it out! Dog Street Pub

 

CHEERS!

I'm just one STOMACH FLU away from my goal weight...

Ok... So who remembers that quote from Emily to Andrea in "The Devil Wears Prada" movie??  If you're a female reading this, then you most likely know what I'm talking about it.  Well let me just tell ya, that stomach flu is called NOROVIRUS.

Norovirus: (aka the bitch virus on wheels) is from Australia (per google) and they've named her Sydney.  She's a combination of viruses that attack you're stomach and intestine lining and turns you inside out (literally) and makes you her bitch.  And not the good kind of bitch, like a bottom bitch...nooooooo, you are the Pimps first trick that he throws out to the wolves kind of bitch.  That's what the NOROVIRUS does to you.  For those of you that don't know what a bottom bitch is, just click the link here Bottom Bitch definition  for a description.

Unlucky enough for us, the bitch virus on wheels paid a visit to the Nucci clan.  Nucci is pronounced /new.chee/ just FYI.  The Nucci clan consist of: "BDG" ~ my husband (he makes Siri call him the full version of those letters, I'll spare the rest of you) "Blondie" ~ my oldest daughter, "Red Baby" ~ my youngest daughter and the original host of this virus even tho she didn't have to experience it's full wrath.  I should be calling her "devil baby" but she's too sweet and didn't mean to bring it home from daycare so she stays "Red Baby."  And then there's yours truly of course. :-)

If you've ever watched the Exorcist movie with Linda Blair where her head is spinning a full 360 and she vomits and shits everywhere (you know, the original one) well that has NONTHING on what the NOROVIRUS does to you.  So please my peeps, wash your hands and don't be that asshole that makes your kid go to school sick. Mind your p's and q's and say please and thank you...respect your elders and whatever other good stuff you can do to bring good karma your way...because bad karma comes in the form of the NOROVIRUS and her name is Sydney!  And by the way, I did loose 7 pounds in 2 days...pffftt! Hardly my goal weight.  But I'll take it!

If anyone reading this are moms or dads and have kids, you know that even though you are sick, the show must go on... If you're like us then you're show may have looked a lil like this....                          

 

Shit Storm1:  DURING

 That's our dog Frank the Tank in the above after pic.. But we just call him "Tank" and YES, my Christmas tree is still up..you wanna know why??? So do I, so I'll have to get back to you on that one.

                                       Shit Storm2:  DURING

And of course "Red Baby" has to have a bath.  You can see that she really like her water crayons.

 

Until next time y'all!

Don't Call it a Comeback, I've Been Here for YEARS!!

Ok ok, so maybe we can call it a comeback....a mini comeback. Fair enough?? Good, I'm glad we had that talk!  A few things I want to point out to the lucky ones that subscribe to and or read or start reading this blog o mine:

1:  I am not a professional writer.. For example, u will see text like spelling, run on sentences, paragraphs that go on and on for forever, ect... Oh and prob poor use of punctuations.

2:  I cuss, can't help it.  I'm a pretty girl with a dirty mouth.  Get over it ;-)  "I is what I is and that is all I is" - Popeye the Sailor man (toot toot)  But seriously, I cuss.

3:  See, I said a few things but for right now I can only come up with 2.  So for fucks sake, let's just say I'm pretty random.  Which I am.

So that's it for now... I have to go disinfect my house because the lovely and shit-trastrophy (pun intended) norovirus hit our lovely house for the last 2 days.  What a shit storm that was! (Pun intended again)

Ok, bye for now!
