Ben is on vacation this week from his secular job. *smile* I had to throw that in there because it makes me laugh...I have no idea why it makes me laugh...just does.
I've compiled a lengthy list of to-do's that I'd like to get accomplished while he's here. Exciting stuff, like clean the basement and re-caulk the tub/shower. That's how fun I am.
Today though, it's raining (again.) And I'm thinking it would be a good day to go visit our new Sonic. Because we've never eaten at a Sonic.
I just heard you all gasp in unison.
And, located near the new Sonic is a Christian Book Store that has this little book on sale. I'd like to read it before my Julie comes to live here. I've got three months to get it done.
I'm off...

Before everyone starts to gawk at your non-Sonic-ness, I thought I'd jump in and said -- I've also never eaten at Sonic.
ReplyDeleteYou are not alone.
If you eat at Sonic...and I definitely think you should, try their Cheddar Bites. YUM! Also, they have the best drinks. I always get Vanilla Coke but if you're more adventurous than me, they have ALL KINDS of flavor options!
ReplyDeleteSince Kelly admitted it so will I, never eaten at Sonic either.
ReplyDeleteWe're in MN, as far as I know there is only ONE Sonic here. I tried to eat there, but the line was INSANE, I'm talking you couldn't exit the freeway and cops where waving you on couldn't get there!!!
So, yeah I've never had a cherry lime aid from Sonic.

ReplyDeleteYou Northerners are so Sonic deprived it makes me want to cry! It is essential to us down here. I mostly just get drinks (Happy Hour 2-4 EVERYDAY), but some food is good. Their grilled cheese sandwiches were a staple for me when I was in college. Too bad it takes 2-3 of them to get full!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your first Sonic treat. You'll be addicted! Julie will love it, so that's a good thing for you all. I'm sure you'll visit often in the next year.
I have to say, the food at Sonic is fine, but it's the beverages that are the REALLY addicting part. And the ice. Oh, the Sonic Ice. You can buy it by the bag and take it home with you. It's wonderful! :)
ReplyDeleteThat's a great book to get for teen girls. :)
ReplyDeleteHey, I saw there were tornadoes in Iowa this morning (I watch the Weather Channel every morning like a geek). Is your are OK?
Have fun at Sonic! I can't believe you've never been there!
Rachel: Yep, tis the season, but we're fine. Just heavy thunderstorms. I'm thinking since we got both the tornado and the massive flooding last year that our odds of getting hit this year are slim...it's only fair right?!? ;)
ReplyDeleteBanana Cream Pie Shake. 'Nuf said.
ReplyDeleteSonic was all the rage when Don and I were in Life Action. Of course it was a "southern" thing. It feels weird to have one here! I liked the cherry lemonaid. Not a lime fan...
ReplyDeleteTwo words: Sonic ice.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy.
Oh, my beloved Sonic, how I miss you. You were my first place of employment and I just loved being a carhop on roller skates. I think all that flying around delivering food made up for the fact that I lived on your oreo shakes, hot fudge sundaes, chili cheese dogs, french fries, and onion rings. So as much as I love you, please, please do not come to my town. I don't have skates anymore and I know that eating all that disgustingly greasy goodness would sabotage my new plan to be more healthy!!
ReplyDeletelove me a cherry limeade from Sonic!!! And the chili cheese dogs....the BEST!
ReplyDeleteI've never had sonic..no desire...probably a good thing. ;)
ReplyDeletePlease tell me if this is a book I should have Emma read. Or for her mom to read?! Also on a totally different topic, have you painted dressers before, if so did you just use flat paint...??? Advice??
Post on my FB wall please!
you've never eaten at sonic?!? that is just plain un-American...and un-small town like. y'all must have a DQ? i'm shocked. that's all i have to say...
ReplyDeletego between 2-4PM for "happy hour"...all the drinks/slushes are 1/2 price!
With all these recommendations your gonna have to eat there all week long:)
ReplyDeleteWhen we go south we like the tater tots with cheese and jalapeno peppers... not sure what they are called. not sure if i spelled that work right? happy tasting!
I discovered Sonic this year (we don't have 'em in WI) and have fallen in love! So yum.
ReplyDeleteYay for vaca time! I always make fun lists for Josh to do, too. He loves it. ;-)
You have to get a Large Diet Dr Pepper and have them add cherry and vanilla to it! SO YUMMY! Enjoy!
ReplyDeletegasp is right... never eaten at sonic!!! happy hour is the time to go - half price drinks!!!! that is what i'm talking about :)
ReplyDeleteenjoy your hubby at home this week & i hope he marks off alot of his to do list that you made for him. haha
reading that book for myself, ok the "grown-up" version, and liking it so far! would recommend that one :) have fun at sonic, never been, would love to, and wonder all the time...why we have commercials for them, never seen one here in n.e....
ReplyDeleteNO SONIC! UNAMERICAN! My two words for Sonic? Ice Cream. Oh yeah.
ReplyDeleteDid you hear that?? It was my jaw hitting the floor!! I cannot believe that you and three others that left coments here have never had Sonic!! Yay for you!
ReplyDeleteTheir Strawberry Slushes and Cherry Cokes are to die for! Enjoy!
Yes, I did gasp. Your life will never be the same.
ReplyDeleteAlso, the book ... I read the original. Good stuff. Lots of steppin' on toes. I like that.
I gasped as well! I twittered just the other day that I was addicted to Sonic HAPPY HOUR! I could live without the food, but not the drinks! I'm stuck on the Orange Vanilla Sprite right now.
ReplyDeleteaddicted to sonic. addicted.
ReplyDeletei'm in love with their Diet Cokes. its the ice. i think it has crack in it.
i also love their burgers. yummmm....
happy hour= happy lady
Sonic is like THE place to eat in my hometown...i am there daily for my *believe it or not* unsweetened tea! it's better than anyone else's in town. however, i do like a cherry limeade or dp once in a while. Sonic is the best ever!
ReplyDeleteI've never eaten at a sonic either.
ReplyDeleteAnd I wish I would have read that book when I was a young woman...or youngER woman...
I join the ranks of never having eaten at Sonic. But there is a new one not far from my house..... I'll fall prey eventually, Im sure.
