Kombat Kroger

Today I get a text at work from Jason telling me to pick up condensed chicken soup on my way home so he can make potato soup for dinner. I text him back "ok" and add on a comment about how much harder my current job is compared to his first year of work (which he complained about for a year straight.) He texts back that no, our jobs are equally as hard and that he also needs dill weed for the recipe. I text back, "No tie. I win. U r a dill weed." Hehe. Hoho. There's a little dill weed joke for ya.

Anyhoo... I head to Kombat Kroger after work to pick up the aforementioned soup and dill weed and realize that you know you live in a great neighborhood when the cops are called to diffuse a situation and they know the upstanding citizens by name. True story. The conversation went something like this:

Cop: Hi miss So-and-so. I hear we have a situation.

Miss So-and-so: I'm glad you are here. I was looking for you earlier today.

Apparently, the cops and Miss So-and-so are great friends. I'm glad our cops are so active in the community.

In addition to the soup and dill weed, I spontaneously bought a pumpkin. I don't know when the last time I carved a pumpkin was, but I think I am going to attempt to carve one this weekend. Should be an adventure.

Ok, almost time for my potato soup. Oh! Our onion/ chive type plant is flourishing in our garden. We are going to use it as a topping for the soup tonight. Hooray! At least one of our plants is proving useful. I can't say the same for the rest of them yet.

You win. Your current job is SO MUCH harder than his first year of work.

P.S. Don't forget to tell him how great his cooking is, and have fun carving that pumpkin.

Oh and I forgot the most important thing. Steve is a champion pumpkin carver. He always does a pumpkin even though the kids are so old they don't want to do it anymore.
