Spring is in the air

In Maine we have a lot of "seasonal" spots... and when they start opening it's a sure sign that winter is FINALLY almost over and we can start looking forward to warmer weather. Dairy Queen and Fat Boy are those signs for me. While they both opened in March - it didn't begin to feel like spring until recently.




Fat Boy is an old fashion car hop style drive-in, the servers that come to your car don't wear roller skates... I wish they did, that would be very entertaining. But they take your order at the car and bring it to your car, and you put the tray on the window. There is something very satisfying about sitting in your car - and being waited on. I haven't been yet this season... but I am waiting for just the right time. A warm - but not hot summer day... I am going to have a Whoper (yes, it's only spelled with 1 "p") Burger basket and a chocolate frappe (yes, it's 2 "p"s). Now I need to call Vivian and make a date!

Yesterday I had DQ for the first time this season... A woman in my office picked it up on her way in... vanilla soft serve sundae with hot fudge (nowhere near as tasty as my step-mom Sue's) and peanuts... SO good! Totally hit the spot. There is a DQ on the way home, now I just need to make sure I don't make this little sundae treat a habit! :)

Guilty Pleasures

I am going to admit it - right here and now. I have been SUCKED into a couple of so-called "reality" tv shows... here are my 4 in the order I watch them and who I want to win:

1. Dancing with the Starts (Ian Ziering or Joey Fatone)
2. American Idol (Blake or Jordin?)
3. America's Next Top Model (Dionne or Jaslene)
4. Search for the Next Doll (Melissa S. - because Anastasia is gone)

In my defence - I never watched these shows until I spent two weeks at Meagan's house where we watched just a little bit of tv ;) But now! I can't miss an episode! I stay up too late watching - then I am too tired the next morning! Next season I am getting digital cable so I don't have to lose my beauty rest over this crap.

But tell me - I can't be the only one, right? Don't you have a guilty pleasure tv show? (we will discuss other guilty pleasures in weeks to come) Please share...
