Gift Cards

Lets plan a day around those gift cards that each of us have around the house. I and Tricia place all our cards in a Pleasant Holidays folder she got a few years ago going to Hawaii. It’s a daughter-mother thing they have done a couple of times and if I would let her it would be yearly. We place that folder in her car and whenever we are out, we might use them. Only problem is that we forget we have them under the seat.
Here is my day with just Gift cards I have now and nothing else:
1. Start off the morning at McDonalds—get an Egg McMuffin with the first card.
2. I would drive thru Starbucks and get Tricia a Mocha-Latte -ice something. You can tell I am not into Starbucks. I only go there with a free card.
3. I would stop by Best Buy, walk the computer isles drooling and dreaming and then pick up something in the music isle for the road trip.
4. I would stop and full up my gas tank with the $25.00 dollar gift card from Shell. Dreaming some more here. If Gas keeps going up I want them to fill my tank for me like the good old days. Fill it up sir? Check your oil and tires? Put water in your radiator? Clean your windshield? Get you a coca-cola in a bottle for 25 cent?
5. We have some time to kill before lunch so we would stop at Borders and read some books. Why use my gift card when I can read all the books while I am at Borders. It’s a great Library!
6. I would take Tricia out to Lunch at Black Angus. Order a steak, salad, baked potato with just butter, with an Ice Tea. A-1 sauce please!
7. We would go to The Cheesecake Factory and get dessert. She would have plain cheesecake with one of the following Raspberries, blackberries, blueberries. By the way, Linda Zastrow and her family went to Oak Glenn on Friday to pick Blackberries. Wonder if she will bring us some to church? I would just have a brownie, I do not like cheesecake.
8. We then would stop at Ralph grocery store to pick up some snacks for #9. Hot tamales, Look bar, M & M’s. Tricia would get everything else.
9. We would drive to the AMC Theaters at the TYLER Mall (old name for an old man, set in my ways) and see Black Night at a decent time. Not in the middle of the night.
10. After the movie would go to the Pro Bass Shop and pick up a few hooks for the next time Dan takes me out to Diamond Lake. I heard that he might be getting a boat? There sure are a lot of rumors about Dan and Terry going around. You would think that they we going steady or something?
11. We would now stop at dinner at Red Lobster because we were talking about fish in item # 10.
12. After dinner, dessert again at Cold Stone. I would have one scoop of Black Walnut and one of Butter Pecan. Tricia would have something with pieces in it, she likes the crunch.
13. Then we would go down to the Marriott in Tijuana and spend the night because we need a rest from the Gift Cards we all have in the United States.
14. Right before we went to sleep at night we would call our kids with the $20.00 Prepaid phone card and tell everyone “Good Night”. I would also call the church and tell them I would be taking off the next day because we have to play with the kids at Siempre.
What a day that would be!
