...and some ribs from a place called Ribs 'R' Us, and a soft pretzel. When I was in Philly, I didn't eat these things every day, but when you don't have them available, you want it more.
I don't understand why people in other cities want to call their steaks 'Philly Cheese steaks', but they obviously have never been to Philly, or have had someone from Philly train them on how to make a steak. If you are reading this, and you've never had a genuine Philly cheese steak, listen: THERE ARE NO GREEN PEPPERS IN A CHEESE STEAK!! I'm pretty sure there's been a Philadelphian who has told you this already. Why won't you listen?? It's just wrong. And it's not a cheese steak, it's a chee steak, cheesteak. There's no reason for the other letters. Philly natives, I know you're trying to see how you say it right now. It's just like saying 'water'. We don't say it like anyone else.
Well, tomorrow there is going to be a large concert at the venue up the street. If you're from Philly, think of it as the Dell, or the Mann. It has the lawn seats and all that. Unfortunately tomorrow, there's going to be a big storm. I probably won't be outside during that time anyway, but just in case I have to go out, I KNOW not to go in that direction. I got stuck in concert traffic one time since I've been here, and one time is more than enough for me.
I'm pretty upset that I don't have TiVo, because both of my favorite shows were on tonight. Grey's Anatomy had to mess things up by being on for 2 hours, so I couldn't watch all of ER. I've been flipping back and forth, but now I have to watch both on the internet, because I missed too much of it.
The gas problem is crazy here! We are blessed to have more than 1/2 tank left. It's mayhem here - schools are closing, people are in line for hours to end up with no gas. Of course, that causes other problems, fights because people are jumping in line, accidents because people are blocking lanes trying to wait to get into a station. AAA said they aren't going to bring anyone gas if they run out on the road, they are just going to tow you. They are announcing on tv where you can get gas, but I think that contributes to the problem. People are going to try to drive for miles to get to those stations, they're going to cause more traffic nightmares, and I hope the stations don't run out of gas. That's been happening more and more. Reminds me of people who stand in line on black Friday, just for everything to run out when they get inside the store. Just evil.
I don't think we're getting our tree tomorrow. The weather is going to be bad, and the landscaper had already pushed the date back because of the rains a couple of weeks ago. As soon as we get the tree, I will post the pictures.
I'm going to bed now, it's late. Good night, and keep praying!
