500 And Counting

Today we are going to keep things short and sweet because I have big plans for this day off.  You see I was going to go on a date but the man in question didn't text me until 10:30 last night to see when I wanted to go out.  he suggested 9:30 am I just went to bed.  Bottom line I have been given a Erica Day and I plan to relish in some down time.

This weekend was a very interesting one.  I went to try to help May buy a car, if you need some stress in your life help an international student from China buy a car.  She still does not have a car and I am not sure when she will have one, tomorrow please!

On Saturday night I went to dinner with my mom.  My mom is one of the most amazing people in the whole world and as I have mentioned here before, my number one fan, HI mom.  She reads every blog post I write and will send me a sweet little text telling me what she liked about it.  That might be too much mom for some people but I like it when people in my face to face life know about my blog and want to talk to me about it.  It is a part of my life and I appreciate that they take the time to read and connect.

I once explained to my mom about followers and what good numbers for your blog are and she instantly was intrigued.  She told em when I reached 500 followers she would take me out to dinner, anywhere I wanted.  How sweet is that?  A free dinner because 500 of you lovely people follow my blog.

Last week I reached that mark and then I saw a commercial for Red Lobster.  My mom texted and asked where I wanted to go and I knew I needed Red Lobster to make my life complete. We went to the one in Montclair, Ca and had a great meal.

Apparently, our food took a long time to come out to us, I didn't even notice.  Before we even got our food the manager came to the table to apologize for the delay and to tell us our meals were complimentary.   My mom and I both got a grilled salmon dinner, salads, and dessert for free man all we had to pay for were our drinks.  It was a great way to celebrate.

All of this to say I really love blogging and I love finding ways to celebrate some achievements that this little blog makes.  I appreciate each of you who reads and comments.  I truly love writing and I look forward to many more celebrations along the way.

If you are a restaurant, business or event that wants to celebrate with me when I reach 1000 followers let me know I am always down for a good time.
