What a special day it is! 2/22/22 Twosday many will be getting engaged, a coworker of ours here is actually getting married and what a special day for those who are celebrating a birthday today! Might I add to the fabulousness of this day by letting you know today's ayeaye holiday is, National Margarita Day! Now that I definitely intend to celebrate.

Why am I like this? Curiosity killed the cat. Isn't that how the saying goes? I was chatting with a group of friends over the weekend and the topic came up of living in places that were haunted. One of the ladies in the group said that pretty much every place she has lived has been haunted. She has seen and heard ghosts everywhere she goes! My response? NOPE!

On this flashback Friday, who remembers the Kmart layaway? I had a conversation with my kids earlier this week about what layaways were. I told them that kids these days just don't understand how good they have it! These days they are used to asking for whatever they want and momma just has to come through, parents we always make it happen.

Valentine's Day is next Monday. Wow! Didn't we just celebrate the new year? Anyhow, the time is NOW to decide what you are going to get for the love of your life. I have a suggestion just because I received this for lovers day a couple of years back and I loved it! A couples massage.

Be real most of us will choose a Mexican food restaurant simply because they have good chips and salsa. How many times have you been out to lunch or dinner with coworkers or friends and if someone mentions a certain restaurant, a person in the group quickly throws in, 'no they don't have good chips and salsa!' It happens all.the.time.

Look, don't come down on me. My hometown recently got one of these Amazon hubs and everytime I see it, I never really understood what it was for? I was scratching my head thinking why can't people just get their (weekly-or is that just me?) Amazon purchases delivered to their home?

If you have lived in the Permian for all or most of your life, you know of all the restaurants that have come and gone. We have had some good ones over the years, and we also have our mainstays. We have our favorites that we visit regularly, the place where everybody knows your name and what your drink and food order will be.

So I've got my favorite Mexican food restaurants. My go-to restaurants to grab my favorite #3 combo meal and be on my way. But I love when someone recommends a new place to eat, specifically a little 'hole in the wall' restaurant that may not be aesthetically pleasing on the outside but guaranteed you will enjoy some of the best Mexican food you have ever eaten!

It never fails, someone you know moves away and within a few months they're saying I sure miss this restaurant or that business. Because lets face it, even though some of us complain on the daily that there ain't a dang thing to do in Midland-Odessa, there are still some things you would genuinely miss if you moved away.

Customer Service. Those 2 words together are scary. Why you ask? Because customer service in this area is not at all what it used to be. You know where you are guaranteed to get consistently good customer service? 'My pleasure.' Duh, Chick-fil-A! The employees can be having the worst day and through gritted teeth you are still going to hear those 2 magic words. They understood the assignment.  Rea
