Food Snob?

Has anyone else been to PF Changs? I know that it's supposed to be all that. And I know it's where everyone goes. It's essentially the Chinese equivalent of a TGI Fridays or an Applebees. And again I know that those places are where everyone seems to think it's where it is. But honestly? It's way over priced for Chinese food of any kind, and if you ask me, it's not very good Chinese. Cinatown in Philly (or probably any major city for that matter) is waaay better.

Perhaps, I'm feeling this way cause the whole day was a weird, nothing's going right kind of day. It started with the Girl getting a late start. Yes, I know it's Saturday and a girl deserves her beauty sleep, but when she was planning on heading out to run her errands by 8ish and didn't actually get out until close to 10:30 or so, you know the rest of the day is probably going to go down hill.

So we headed out to go food shopping, with a few stops along the way. The first stop didn't have the sachets the Girl uses anymore, even though they used to. She empties them into the vacuum bags when putting on a new one and then the house smells nice when she vacuums instead of recirculated pet odors. No problem, she was headed to the Vac and Sew too. Then the makeup place didn't have the cream she uses (she'd already checked out a place in town earlier in the week which also didn't carry her brand.) Then she went to Yankee Candle to get room plug-in deodorizers (they last much longer than the ones from the supermarket). Thankfully, they had what she needed. But then we had to fight our way through the new traffic patterns at the 70/73 circle-no-more to get to Springdale Farm. this was a nice diversion to a hectic drive. Springdale is always so relaxing. (I know the Girl is planning to move back to Philly as soon as she can, but I'd probably prefer a country road some place. Anyway, from there we headed to the Vac and Sew, where one of the major roads was blocked off (probably from the big storm we had on Thursday) so we had to go the round-about way, and then we headed back to the market (which we had passed on the way to the Vac and Sew. Why she didn't listen to me when I tried to tell her that there were fire engines when we went past the first time, I don't know, but when we pulled in they were still there. Or more correctly, they had cordoned off the main parking area and store and the last fire engine was pulling out of the lot. Great. So the majority of the running we did today was for naught. And then I got to hear the Girl and her Sister complain about the meal they had at PF Changs the whole ride home from dinner.

I think I enjoyed the Girl more when she was going out more and dating Renaissance Guy, even if he wasn't exactly the right one for her. Even if she was over tired most of the time and little cranky. She was a much more fun person that she is lately. Which brings me to my next thought, which is that I've been somewhat negative in this blog this week. Next week, I'm going to try and be more positive. Even if it means talking about old stories that I haven't told you all. The Girl and I have had some wild adventures. They might be fun to reminisce about next week!
