It&#8217;s Ernie from Sesame Street. There&#8217;s no question about that. However, if I were asked who my favorite Muppet is, that would definitely be Pepe the King Prawn. So, while I was out today with Brandi, I had two goals &#8211; one was to buy my perfect Reading Chair for my Reading Room and the other was to find me a Pepe the Prawn figurine. I was successful in both endeavors. My chair will arrive on Wednesday and my Pepe is being opened now. <\/p>\n<p>Cool! His deck chair and umbrella have cloth thingies! And he has sandals that slip on his feet. This is cool!<\/p>\n<p>Now onto the day &#8211; we had a lovely day today. I took a wrong turning on the way to the Indian place, so we went to the Dayton Mall first. Other than buying some Toys for Tots, we didn&#8217;t buy anything at the mall. But the walk gave us a good appetite. Next was India Palace. I got the Buffet, but Brandi decided to get the chicken chili. (She likes chili, see&#8230; I didn&#8217;t have the heart to tell her it wasn&#8217;t quite the same.) The waiter assured us it could be made mild, and they did. I also ordered some nan for her since she doesn&#8217;t like rice. (Yeah, strange kid&#8230;) I shall let her explain what she thought in her own words.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It was ok I guess but my favorite was their bread. I don&#8217;t like their sauce in the chicken chili. The chicken tandoori was good too.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>(Her cousin wouldn&#8217;t have shared some of her chicken tandoori from the buffet, now would she???)<\/p>\n<p>After the meal, we headed north a bit to the Mall at Fairfield Commons, with a stop at Sofa Express to buy my Reading Chair. Thanks to their Pre-Winter Sale, I got no-interest, no-payment until 2005. I figure I can get it paid for by then. At the mall, we bought 3 Pepes &#8211; one for me, one for Brandi, and one as a house-warming gift for Deanna. (What can I say, my cousins have great taste in Muppets.) After the mall, it was off to BestBuy to get Brandi her Good Charlotte CD <i>The Young and the Hopeless<\/i>. Then onto the Bookery Fantasy to get my DWM and Dreamwatch for the month. And finally to visit Deanna in her new apartment. Nice pad. <\/p>\n<p>Now we are home. First an update to LJ (vis this) and then <i>Bend it Like Beckham<\/i>. Gotta end our Indian Day on a positive note, eh? (Coincidentally, Brandi&#8217;s class is learning about India in Social Studies right now.) If we&#8217;re still awake later, <i>Holes<\/i>!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Current Mood:<\/strong> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/pagefillers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2003\/11\/exhausted.gif\" alt=\"mood_exhausted\" width=\"50\" height=\"50\" \/> exhausted<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I know my Inner Muppet.
