Tonight, Karen and I scored a deal at Stop and Shop. Normally, I suck at Stop and Shop.
We went to Stop and Shop following a dinner at the Tavern on Proprietors Green located in Marshfield. By the way, dinner was delicious. My eleven month old daughter (Bridget) appears to enjoy the place as well because she devoured everything we gave her. Of course, Bridget devours everything normally. I'm sure she'll be bigger than my two year old (Briana) soon. And for anyone curious, I had the roast beef sandwich.
Anyway, Stop and Shop was having a deal this week where $3 would be taken off a purchase of two Clear shampoo/conditioner products made on the same transaction. I have never used Clear shampoo (or conditioner). But apparently each item costs over $5 normally. And this week, Stop and Shop had them on sale for 2/$10.
Needless to say, as a fan of coupons, I couldn't resist the deal. Along with the Stop and Shop deal, there was Buy One Shampoo Get One Conditioner Free manufacturer's coupon. Add it all up, I ended up paying $2 (and tax) for the two items ($10 - $5 - 3). What a deal! Hopefully the product is good. I can't imagine paying over $5 for a single bottle of shampoo. Of course, I don't have that much hair as it is. So maybe what little hair I do have will look luscious... who knows?

I Suck At The Tavern On Proprietor's Green
Karen and I generally don't make resolutions for the new year. This year, however, we had discussed possibly having a resolution to be more active and to eat a little better. After all, neither one of us has done anything remotely athletic since our two year old daughter (Briana) was born. And realistically, it may have been even longer than that with our son's (Braden) passing two years before that.
So needless to say, my body is definitely not a temple... although maybe in terms of shape. So in keeping with our resolution, Karen and I... went out to eat at the Tavern on Proprietor's Green in Marshfield. Too bad I suck at the Tavern on Proprietor's Green.
In our defense, we were heading in that direction anyway because we were going to Roche Bros to do some shopping. Sadly, the store did not have any tiny shopping carts, so Briana had to push a regular sized shopping cart. Briana was a little disappointed by that.
The Tavern, however, was quite delicious. I had baked haddock, which I suppose makes it twice in three days because I made haddock for Karlene and Tommy on New Year's Eve too. I guess I've been on a fish kick of late. All in all, it was a great dining experience.
We don't really go out to eat that often, so maybe we're not breaking the resolution just yet.

I Suck At The Marshfield Tavern On Proprietor's Green
On Saturday, Karen and I decided to take the kids out for dinner again. This time, the eating establishment was the Marshfield Tavern on Proprietor's Green. Now, I suck at the Marshfield Tavern on Proprietor's Green.
Unlike Thursday, our kids were very good. Of course, it helped that my five month old daughter (Bridget) was asleep for most of the dinner. But my two year daughter (Briana) was surprisingly good. She ate a good dinner, which consisted mostly of fried green beans, bread, butter, and liver.
Yep. Liver. Karen had ordered the liver and onions. I tried a bit of Karen's plate. The liver was actually pretty good. I, of course, opted for the burger with gouda cheese and sweet potato fries. The burger was "good"-a. Needless to say, the food was delicious.
It was definitely a good time, which for me was needed as earlier in the day I met up with a fellow Board of Trustee for the public library to discuss the library's website which is one of the items on the library's agenda to revamp.
Lately, I have been a little disenchanted with being a library trustee. I think the main reason for my discontent has been the fact that I feel like the library itself has been resistant to any suggestions or requests that I have made. Maybe it's a defense mechanism on the part of the library. But right now, it seems to me like there is a desire by the library to follow the status quo.
It's somewhat frustrating to me, only because the changes I am suggesting for the website are painfully obvious to me. Yet, I stand alone in my opinion because the rest of the powers that be are not technically savvy.
Regardless, going out to dinner to the Tavern was just the thing to get my mind off of the library.

I Suck At Marshfield Tavern On Proprietor's Green
Today has been quite the busy day.
The day started off with a visit to Great Clips located in Hanover. A while ago, Karen and I received a flyer from Great Clips complete with coupon. If the coupon weren't enticing enough, the flyer mentioned how the place was for children and adults alike. Naturally, we decided to give it a try because my two year old daughter (Briana) has been in need of a haircut for some time. She's starting to look like a Japanese anime character.
Don't get me wrong. Karen would occasionally trim Briana's bangs. But since neither of us were experienced professional hair stylists, we thought maybe it was time to bring her in to see one. Interestingly enough, Briana was good during the haircut. I was quite pleased with her behavior. Granted, her haircut lasted probably all of five minutes, one minute of which was to get a booster seat. But all in all, it was good.
Following Great Clips, Karen and I ran some errands which included going to Briana's favorite store, Target, as well as going to the High School track where Briana wanted to run around. I was also able to go to the local Walgreen's in Weymouth to pick up a Blue Rhino propane tank, as well as the Home Depot in Rockland. I have been curious about Blue Rhino propane tanks for some time. And rather than continue my curiosity, I decided to just go ahead and exchange my existing propane tank for a Blue Rhino tank.
My existing propane tank is quite old. So exchanging it for a clean Blue Rhino tank was a no-brainer. And of course, the exchange was even more enticing because there was a rebate for the tank exchange. But like I said, we'll see how it goes with Blue Rhino.
Anyway, following my errands across the South Shore, I ended up back home only to spend the next couple of hours mowing the lawn. One of the reasons why it took so long was because there was just too much to mow on the side by my house. The past few days of rain hasn't helped either. The hours of lawn mowing, however, did let my mind wander and contemplate about things. Among those random thoughts were: maybe it is time to get a ride on lawn mower; maybe I should convince my friend (Andrea) to mow the lawn because it's a nice way to work on a tan; and what if I went to my high school reunion as someone else in an effort to see just how true the stereotype is that all Asians look the same.
For anyone curious, my 20 year high school reunion is scheduled for this year. I have debated about attending it. I would say that I have a unique circle of friends because most of my friends are from high school. I don't think a lot of other people remain in contact with high school friends the way my circle of friends have. So it's not like I'd be missing out on a whole lot if I didn't attend.
I did not go to the 5 year reunion, taking the stance that 5 years was not enough time to warrant a reunion. For most of us, it was going to be one year after graduating college. And really, what is there to say after that? I was on the fence for the 10 year reunion because that was possibly enough of a time difference.
Don't get me wrong. I am not avoiding high school reunions because I had a bad experience in high school. I guess that's not entirely true. Not having hot blonde cheerleaders like on television was definitely an awful experience. Just kidding. Some people I know dreaded high school. For me, high school was just a place to hang out with friends... with the occasional learning part thrown in of course.
Anyway, I'm on the fence for the 20 year reunion in part because... if people are like me and my adipose... then it will be interesting to see how much people have physically changed. But we'll see if I go. And for anyone curious, the whole reason that I even started thinking about doing something silly like pretending to go to the reunion as another Asian while mowing the lawn is because I recently received some Facebook message about the upcoming reunion. Some people had responded to the Facebook message, to which I thought: Who is that person? Did I graduate with that person? Is my memory really that bad? What if I responded to the message, would other people ask who am I? What if I went as someone else? Who could I go as... insert Asian name here to see if the stereotype is true.
Yes, I have a peculiar train of thought at times. Before I knew it, it was time for dinner. Speaking of which, Karen and I decided to take Briana and our three month old daughter (Bridget) to the Marshfield Tavern on Proprietor's Green, located in Marshfield. This may be a record as to the number of cities and towns of the South Shore that I have been to within one day.
Now I suck at Marshfield Tavern on Proprietor's Green. Neither Karen nor I have ever been to the "Tavern". I had only heard about the place because it was located near the Roche Bros... and an "active adult" community. But since Karen was interested, we decided to go. We weren't sure what to expect, in part because of the 55+ community nearby. As a side note, we drove around the 55+ community and I must say, the houses there are beautiful and spacious. I wish I were 55... and rich.
Regardless, the tavern was a great family experience. I had the fried haddock sandwich with sweet potato fries. The food was served promptly. It tasted good as Briana can attest to. The service was great. (For anyone curious, we had the apple crisp dessert too. Yum!) All in all, I would say the restaurant was a pleasant family experience. I'd definitely recommend the place to someone. I enjoyed it.
And the day did not end with dinner. After dinner, we decided to have a family movie night because ABC Family was showing Finding Nemo. For me, watching the movie was memorable because it was the first time Briana actually watched a movie. Most times, she would run around and play while something is on the television in the background. That includes her favorite show, Sesame Street... or Elmo TV as she likes to call it.
But not this time. This time, she cuddled right up on the couch and watched Finding Nemo. I thought it was a riot to see her engrossed in the movie. It was definitely fun.
All in all, it was a busy day... one that passed with a blink of an eye. It's days like these which make me wish I could slow down time to savor the moment.
