I&#8217;m not big on Italian food by any means, but their food is good and the prices are very reasonable. The kids meals are only $3.49 and come with a huge bowl of soup, a large-sized entree, drink and dessert. I was surprised by how much food the kids got. We took advantage of the lunch menu and got toasted ravioli for an appetizer as well. Our bill only came to $25 for the four of us. Not bad at all. I highly recommend the place.<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\nAfter dropping the kids off at home this morning we did a little running around &#8211; stopped at the library to drop off some books and got some new ones to read; also went to Blockbuster and rented two PS2 games; did some quick shopping at Dominick&#8217;s for a couple of ingredients to make the beef enchiladas we&#8217;re having tomorrow (I made the chicken ones in the Pace recipe book two weeks ago and they were soooo yummy!); and also went to Target to return a lunch bag I bought &#8211; turns out the handle was ripped and I hadn&#8217;t even noticed. By that time we were hungry, so we picked up some Wendy&#8217;s chili for lunch. I love that chili like none other. I&#8217;ve tried Burger King&#8217;s and not only is it higher in fact, but it&#8217;s terrible. I love Wendy&#8217;s chili so much I got two and will be having the second one shortly for dinner. At 5 grams of fat for the small size, you can&#8217;t go wrong.<\/p>\n<p>After lunch I washed all my maroon bathroom rugs and shower curtain, put away the fall decorations, and put up the Christmas ones. I was going to wait until December 1st, but I just couldn&#8217;t. At least I waited until after Thanksgiving unlike some other people. Look, I understand you want to put the lights on your house while it&#8217;s still relatively warm outside. But do you have to turn them on before Thanksgiving is over? It&#8217;s just wrong.<\/p>\n<p>Now the apartment is all Christmas-like. I&#8217;ve got the maroon motif back in the bathroom so it feels more like the season now. As much as I love the blue seashell theme, it&#8217;s too Spring\/Summer. I&#8217;m tempted to change our bedding too, but we&#8217;ll see. I just like to decorate &#8230; can&#8217;t you tell?<\/p>\n<p>After dinner I plan on playing Wipeout on the PS2 before we watch the PPV we ordered &#8211; <i>Wrong Turn<\/i>. I hope it&#8217;s as good as it looked!<\/p>\n<p>Update: <em>Wrong Turned<\/em> sucked &#8230; I should have known better!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s been a good weekend thus far, and we&#8217;ve still got two more full days off before it&#8217;s back to the grind.
