I&#8217;m not really a bbq fan, but I can&#8217;t resist their bbq chicken. The only thing that irks me is I always order the quarter chicken and they bring out (and charge me for) the half chicken.

Anyway, they make their own bbq sauce on site, so we bought a bottle since good bbq sauce is hard to find.<\/p>\n<p>After lunch we went to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.marketday.com\/wooddalestore.asp\">Market Day Store<\/a> to get some <a href=\"http:\/\/www.marketday.com\/Prod_View.asp?ItemID=3101\">broccoli cheese stuffed chicken<\/a>. We usually make them in the toaster oven and put them on a bed of rice. It&#8217;s not the healthiest meal in the world, but it&#8217;s definitely one of my favorites.<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\nToday we did a little shopping and tried our luck by visiting the new <a href=\"http:\/\/www.meijer.com\/\">Meijer<\/a>. You might remember our horrible experience at the last <a href=\"http:\/\/nicole.sleepyfroggie.net\/journal\/archives\/2004\/05\/sucky_shopping.html\">Meijer Grand Opening<\/a>. This one has been open for at least a month now, I think, and it was early enough in the morning that it wasn&#8217;t too crowded. I wasn&#8217;t all that impressed with most of their prices for general items, but I liked their produce section a lot. Not only did they have a huge selection and very good prices, but everything was super fresh, which is more than I can say for some of the local markets in town. We got some watermelon, grapes, and strawberries. I&#8217;m getting hungry just thinking about it!<\/p>\n<p>After dropping the food off at home, we went out to breakfast at the same restaurant we ate at with Joe&#8217;s parents a few weeks ago. Joe had french toast that time, so that&#8217;s what I ordered today. It is sooo good!<\/p>\n<p>After our late breakfast, we went to Bed Bath &amp; Beyond. I had ordered three gift cards from Discover, so we had $75 to spend plus whatever was left on these older two gift cards I had in my wallet. We ended up getting new pillows for our bed, a mattress pad, a shampoo caddy for the shower, and a blender, without having to spend a cent of our own money. You gotta love that!<\/p>\n<p>Now I&#8217;m ready for a nap.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yuck, I&#8217;m all sweaty right now and I hate that feeling.
