We ran to Giant Eagle real quick for some chicken and burgers. On our way out, there were gummi bears on sale 10 for $10. So we picked up a bag.
At the self checkout, we realize we don't have our Advantage Card. Tony politely asks the older lady that is reading Womans Day, if we can borrow her Advantage Card. All we wanted was to save $1.00. Our total bill was going to be $9.00.
She started lecturing Tony about how he can't borrow it because Giant Eagle doesn't allow. Well, needless to say, as soon as I heard her stupidity that was rolling out of her mouth, I turned to the lady in the lane beside me and asked if I could borrow hers. She did not give me any crap and gave it to me. As I turn around to swipe it, she is STILL preaching to Tony about "sharing" your card and Food and Gas perks. SHUT THE F UP LADY!
She got so salty about the fact that I "borrowed" someone elses, that she stormed off. I am not sure, but we THINK she went to tell on us!
Who died and made her Advantage Card Police?!?

The Church of the Ladder Day Saints....
After a long day for the both of us - the 3rd anniversary of Big Ange's death - we decided to skip the gym, go to the grocery store get some groceries and dinner. On our way back from Wegmans, we had a few visitors.
As we were coming up the road, we saw the Mormon's at our house. We drove passed, like we didn't live there, and turned around and came back. They were at the neighbors, but of course, the bee lined it over to us. Now mind you, they visit my parent's neighborhood and it is ALWAYS during football season and on a Sunday. So, instead of turning them away, my Dad invites them in and tells them to help them selves to the food and watch the game. Even if someone else answers the door, they ask for Mark!
As we are getting the groceries and dinner out of the truck, they are asking us questions, "Do you believe in Jesus Christ?" "Do you believe in prophets?" Tony kindle explained we do believe in Jesus, he is Catholic. My mind was going crazy with all the stuff he was rambling, but I stuck to "I am Presbyterian". He kept on about prophets and preaching the word of Jesus Christ. I KNOW I was just staring at him thinking A) I just watched Live or Something Like It and all I could think about was Prophet Jack B) How do you know what Jesus Christ wants you to say? C) How does he share his thoughts with you? SO many questions. I believe Tony saw the wheels turning in this crazy head of mine and right after they asked if they could come in an talk to us - which by the way, I probably would have let them in to hear what they had to say - he said: "I appreciate what you are saying and I don't mean any disrespect, but you know what would make me happy? Going in the house and eating my dinner that are in those white Wegmans containers."
When we got in the house and I turned to Tony, he said, "I was so afraid you were going to ask questions and I thought you were going to mention about Prophet Jack!"

Tony vs the Mask
For those of you that aren't aware, due to Tony's sleep apnea, he is wearing a CPAC mask which has been the best thing to ever happen to the both of us. He gets a full, uninterrupted 8 hours of sleep and I don't have to hear his snoring or listen to make sure he is breathing.
Although, he had been doing real well with wearing it, every so often he has an "off" night with the mask. For example, sometimes he fights it and throws it off his face, it hits the wall and ends up on the floor. 10 minutes later, he will let out a really loud sigh, sit up, pick it up and put it back on and be asleep in 30 seconds. Other times, there is water that accumulates in the mask, and he will take it off and shake it. In the process, I hear poor Keishaun making sneezing noised because Tony is "blessing" him with the water that shoots out of the mask.
Most recently, for the past two night, he has been talking to me when I ask him, "What is going on over there with your mask?" First night, he takes the mask and rests it on his forehead. When I asked him what he is doing with his mask, he answers, with his fist tight by his face, "Mind your own business devil woman." Then, 2 minutes later, he replaced the mask on his face and proceeds to sleep. In the morning, when I ask him if he remembers, he doesn't!
The next night, I get woken up by him literally ripping his mask off and throwing it. I ask again, "What is going on with the mask" He tells me, "I am sweating like a WILD BANCHI" (I still can't help but laugh out loud when I repeat him saying that) I say, okay. A few minutes later, he sighs, gets up, puts on the mask but also is now on the floor. I, again, ask, "What is going on down there?" He tells me, "I am FIXING it." Well, that is great except there is nothing to fix on the floor because the unit is on the stand BESIDE YOU!

Went of our Ragu, came back with Prego
Tony offered to head out to get me some sauce for my pasta tonight. I am a Traditional Ragu girl if I am not using my gram's recipe. This was something I thought, after 12+ years, Anthony would have known...apparently not.
He comes thru the door and asks me if I want the good news or the bad news. Of course, I want the bad news. The bad news is he got me Prego. I didn't even get to hear the good news. (Which I just asked him now what it was and he informed me, "That he got sauce") I said, very passionately, " I HATE Prego!." How, as an Italian person himself, and knowing I am very picky about my sauce when we go to restaurants, how does he not know this?
So, I had to get back in my truck, with my sore legs, abs, and butt, drive to CVS and to get Ragu. I just should have gone down to the freezer in the garage, got out a container of homemade sauce and defrosted it. Lesson learned..for BOTH of us!

The sun sets in the north?
The drive home to Pittsburgh is always eventful when I don't nap. We are literally 7 miles from my parents when I come out with this apparent doozie of a question for Tony.
If the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, why do we get gorgeous sunsets on Lake Erie?
It didn't make sense to me because Lake Erie is North. Before Tony would even answer me, he picked up his phone and started dialing someone. That someone was Murph. Unfortunately, he did not answer, so I had to leave him a message. (I still need to chat with him about this subject)
Tony asked me, when we are on the boat and the sun is setting, which direction are we. I said, "North." After about 10 different ways of him asking me this same question and me having the same answer, he finally said "West, we are facing WEST!"
To my defense, I was not thinking which direction we were facing, I was thinking we were in Lake Erie and we were North of everything! HA! I know understand, when you are on Lake Erie in a boat, you can be North, North East or North West.....ah, sometimes I amaze myself with the way my mind works!

An hour felt like 5...
My MIL sent us Kohls cash, as she does every time she gets some, which is AWESOME! We decided to head to Kohls, get a food scale, then to Blockbuster for a movie, then we just HAD to pick up some soda and something for Tony's HUGE ear and home. Sounds easy enough....ah NO!
Kohls: We go in on a mission - to find a food scale. We walk around the entire kitchen area looking for one. We didn't see them, however, I did see a $100 toaster. WHAT? Who needs a $100 toaster and why do you need to "Reheat" something in a toaster? HONESTLY! Anyway, I hear Tony ask if they carry food scales. The lady takes him over to the gadgets and proceeds to tell us that "They don't carry food scales because everyone is going to the POINTS system." We looked at her like she had 10 heads of course, so she proceeded to tell us about Weight Watchers and the points. At this time, I notice a HORRIFIC smell of rotten eggs and Tony is NO WHERE to be found. So as I am saying thank you and trying to get away from this terrible smell, she keeps chatting to me about going to Wal-Mart and getting a "postal scale" since they measure ounces. (I am aware that Wal-Mart carries food scales but I figured why not get one with my cash)
I finally get away from this crazy Weight Watcher Point talker and start yelling at Tony for farting in Kohls while we are both standing there. He looks at me and says, "I SWEAR that was NOT me!" So, not only did this lady insist on speaking to me, but she farted while she was talking to me - AWESOME!
After purchasing Tony dress shoes and me a cute pair of black flat, we headed to Blockbuster...
Blockbuster: We are at Blockbuster so frequent, that they know us when we come in. The associates appreciate Tony's craziness, which is nice because he was EXTRA crazy today! I give him a "speech" before we go in that needs to "settle down". That lasted a whole 3 minutes. As we are looking for a movie, we see Extraordinary Measures. Tony says in a loud voice, "I already work 24 hours a day" (this comes from the obnoxious commercial they kept playing to promote the movie while it was in theaters.) Next thing I hear is the associates all laughing because they know exactly why he said it.
After making a lap around Blockbuster with no movie in hand, we decide to ask our favorite associate what to get. He is a VERY good movie picker. He told me the Kevin Costner movie "just looked terrible" and not to get the movie with James Vander Beak in it. So we decided on a Woody Harrelson movie that will apparently "ruin our night" but is very good. As we are leaving and having an in dept conversation about Lindsey Lohan and movies like Mean Girls, Tony decides to SCREAM "GIVE ME BACK MY SON" Now, if you have ever been with Anthony and heard him say this movie line, you KNOW how loud he can be. We left on that note....Watch out CVS here we come
CVS:We were here for 2 things: soda and something for Tony's ear that is infected. It is the outside and it is swollen, hot (apparently) and hurts. I suggested fungal cream because, lets face it. There is a REALLY good chance, he scratched his "little Tony's" then touched his ear. He went to ask the pharmacist because apparently my diagonsis wasn't good enough. When he was explaining how his ear hurt, he then proceeds to say, "Well, my wife here thinks that I have jock itch on my ear. She says I scratched my balls then my ear." Honestly! So, we settled on a different anit-itch cream and headed to the checkout, but not after getting his precious soda that he has been "so hungry for". After standing in line and him telling me, "I am going to be 35 before we leave this place" we finally get up to the register where I give my CVS card, coupon and EXACT change..hahaha. I notice he is out of the building before me and I know he his hiding behind he wall waiting for me to jump out. What he was not aware of was the old lady that "stole" a tube of anti-itch medicine (because I watched her walk out the door with it) that was walking infront of me. She comes around the corner and I see his face - he ALMOST jumped out in front of her. As he and I are laughing and discussing the face he almost gave her a heart attack, she screams "Oh MY GOD! I didn't pay for his" Tony feels the need to yell, "that is the BEST sale. Just take it".

The Dippo Litter
Tony is really into us having our own TV show. His newest idea: me having 6 kids at ONE time. He said our show would be WAY better than the old Jon and Kate plus 8.
He has it all planned out. He is going to get me a fertility drug then WALLAH, I have 6 babies! REALLY? There is NO other way we can get a TV show? I have to be turned into a human blimp, bed ridden for 8 months? Could anyone imagine? I would be wider than I am tall! I am only 5 foot!
Honestly, Dippolito! Bring me another pilot because this one is canceled.
