94: apple fast - day 3

well folks, today i fell off the apple wagon. :-(

but i got right back on and i'm gonna ride for an extra day.

the day started out well. i had my hot water with lemon juice and my apple for breakfast. then my daughter and i headed out to a movie. (there are several theaters around the country that offer free family movies on tuesdays and wednesdays, most notably regal and amc. go check it out y'all! i'll post the link at the end of this.)

we got there about 45 minutes early, got our tix, then headed to find my daughter's friend who works at the mall. it was weird being in the mall with most of the stores closed. starbucks was open, of course.

when we got back to the theater, we walked in and the smell of buttered popcorn floored me. i am a popcorn fanatic and it was just more than i could withstand y'all. so i gave in. i figured it wouldn't hurt to have a small bag. and since a small soda came with it (the kids pack, discounted to $3 from $5.50 in honor of the family movie), i decided to drink it too.

the real problem started when my daughter complained that the small sizes wouldn't be enough for her. so i told her to get 2 kids packs. we went into the theater with 3 kids packs and guess who ended up downing 2 of them?

but in my defense, i skipped the butter. :-)

horror of horrors: right after i ate all the popcorn and drank all that soda, i got a bad feeling in my chest. was it heartburn or heartache? i wasn't sure but it scared the heck outta me. so i started belching cuz it seemed like i'd feel better after a good belch. but i couldn't get a good one to break the surface.

y'all know what i mean by good one right? i mean that deeeeeeeeep belch that seems to come from the pit of your belly instead of your throat, that belch that makes you sit back, nod ya head and say "yeahhhhhhhhhh. that wuz a goooooooooood one."

we ran a few other errands before returning home. i couldn't believe so many hours had passed in such a short amount of time. it was a bit after 4 p.m. by the time we got back home. i meant to eat another apple and drink more water but i forgot. :-(

a few hours later we were gone again, headed to our favorite place: the library. we were only there for an hour. our next stop was walmart. i'm proud to say i left the store with a mere $12 worth of merchandise. *big grin*

say what? what did i go in there for?

haha you're not serious right?

what? you are? LOL ummm... okay.

i went in for some conditioner for my daughter's hair?

what? what's funny?!

oh, hahaha. you know conditioner didn't cost $12?

well how do you know WHAT my conditioner cost? i could have gotten several for 3 or 4 bucks each or 2 that cost 6 bucks...

what now?! so? i don't care if you don't believe me. what are you getting at any way?

*sucking my teeth*

any way...

back home by 9:30 we were. i ate another apple and drank more water around 11 p.m.

it's 12:51 a.m. now, officially thursday, june 14.

hey! it's clifton harris' birthday. he was a friend of mine back in the day. i wonder how he's doing? he was a cool guy. too nice for the hood. i would love to know where he is today.
