There's a reason, that they don't let me out very much. I tend to get a little crazy. At least I come by it honestly. I hadn't been out of the house All Week until today. It was Sam's first kindermusik class, and I had therapy and book club with my gals this evening. I was so excited, I took off in my minivan a little early and was long gone before my husband realized I'd taken the only car that had a carseat for the baby....and he had the baby, and was supposed to take all three yahoos to Chris's piano lesson. Oops. Chris didn't make it to piano, but by gum, I ran my errand.
I'd been wanting all week to swing by this place called Babushka's Deli, a Russian deli I'd seen on the north side. We've been plotting our Russian Themed Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics Opening Ceremonies party, for a while, and I wanted to put on a Zakuski, a buffet of Russian Foods. So I went into the Russian store...and it was soon apparent that imported food was going to exceed my very lean budget. Once I crossed that border I didn't look back, I just kept saying OK, does this go with that? to the very nice deli man, who really reminded me of the "Piples is Piples" guy from Muppets take Manhattan. I chose to believe him when he said, "Is Good."
I have meat, fish, cheese, bread, dumplings, booze, snacky and dessert things. I think we just might be ok.
I called Kathleen to confess I may have gone a bit berserk, and just told her, we'd be set for the Opening Cermonies...and the Closing Ceremonies...and any ceremonies in between. But would you believe, of all things I forgot the Vodka - Oy?! I hope to do a little more shopping and prep tomorrow. ;)
But this evening, I'm getting way too excited, for when I got home from Book Club to show Eric all my efforts, there were Olympics on tv already! Slopestyling and Ice Skating and Moguls, Oh My!
I've missed the winter olympics. I suppose I could watch these sports all year around, but really I only watch them during the Olympics. Hooray for the Olympics!
