The Social Frog

I don’t think I’ve ever gotten so mad at a gas pump in my life as I do with #14. I swear it is broke!

Today I worked at the USO, something I enjoy very much and I look forward to it every week. Where ever we end up next I do hope they have a USO! Today was not so busy, the usual phone calls and the occasional person coming in needing a fax or looking for tickets to an event.

I put a lot of packets of different papers together. It took forever on the new fax/copy machine we got while I was gone on our cruise. It is so much better than what he had before but at the same time some things don’t run as smoothly. All that matter is, it all got done.

Heading home I decided to stop and get gas, normally I get it in the late evening on my way to pick hubby up but I wanted to get it over with,haha! Every pump was taken BUT #14. I am assuming everyone knows it is messed up. I figure they might had fixed it. NOPE. I am not joking when I say this, it took me a good 10+ minutes to pump $20 worth of gas. It makes odd noises, stops and goes when it wants. I nearly break nails and pinch my skin, it never fails. People stare and wonder why you are still pumping gas…

After that I was just ready to come home but we did not get to go food shopping this weekend, so I had to buy some dinners. After buying all kinds of things, I still forgot 2 important items, so I guess I will be running into the store late tonight after getting hubby from work.

Do you like to go to Fairs? Local, County or State? In the almost 3 years we have lived here not once have we made it to the Greater Jacksonville Fair. I am sure there are good reasons we missed it. I only remember why we did not go last year, hubby was on deployment and I don’t do Fair’s without him.

So, the Fair is from November 3rd-14th. We WILL be going this year, it’s our last chance here in Florida PLUS I decided tonight I will be entering 2 Baking Contest’s! YAY!!! One is a Pie contest, it has to be an original recipe or family recipe. The second one is a Cake contest…WOOT! This one also has to be an original recipe or family recipe. So guess who’s kitchen is about to become a test kitchen?!? I am excited about it. Both come with some great prizes also but just entering will be fun. Why have I not done this before?

I might post pictures of what I concoct but I will not post the recipes. Was that a BOOO I just heard? Most likely not, as just about all of you out there are lurkers and you read my blog but seldom do you comment,haha! Thank you for reading

I was all set to start experimenting when I got home from work, after shopping for items I needed and one of the important things I forgot to buy…Butter, for my frosting! So instead I will try to think up some yummy cake/frosting combinations.

Anyone else enter cake or pie contests?
