#1 Reason why we are so cool
Friday night Daron came home to a wife and son who had a long hard day. He gets the idea that we should order Cafe Rio online, get it to go, and rent "UP". Sounds great! So we order online our Cafe Rio and order our video from Redbox online. We go get the video which is all ready for us. Then we head to Cafe Rio where I go inside. It is PACKED!! I go to the "To Go" cashier where I hand them my printed out order which states it should be ready at 6:30. It was 6:30. The nice cashier looks on his nifty difty computer for our order....searching...searching...nothing. He smiles, then leaves. Hum. He comes back with his manager and they start searching...searching...nothing. I am then told to wait for a minute...five minutes....ten minutes.... at that point they say "order for Daron". Yes yes that's me..."Sorry we are out of wheat tortillas". Okay I'm thinking, give me the only other kind you have. So they have to go do that. Finally they have our order ready. This is where the cool part comes. First I have a coupon for a free dessert (key lime pie!). Then I have a buy one get one free. Next the manager asks if I would like a free dessert for the inconvenience. I tell her I already have a free dessert. So she gives me chips and salsa and a free drink. Yes I get all of that for 8 dollars. I didn't even mind that I had to wait 15 minutes. Who can pass by free food. So cool!
#2 Reason why we are so cool
On Saturday Daron and I didn't have any plans. We basically stayed in all day. We decided that we wanted to make some yummy pumpkin rolls. So I found a nice step by step video online and we start making them. I must say that before we started I saw pictures of pumpkin rolls that other people made and they did not look very professional. They all said "Don't expect much your first time." So I didn't. Except they turned out so good!! I must say we are definitely cool.

You are VERY cool! I'm all for free food and pumpkin rolls!
I liked this post. It made me happy...and now I'm craving Cafe Rio!
So, can we be expecting a wonderful looking pumpkin roll @ the party?!
Great job on the pumpkin roll! I make them every year and I still get nervous every time. They are intimidating, but yours looks awesome!!
It's good to know that other moms have "those days" where you just need Cafe Rio for dinner. :)
I love all the coupons and discounts involved in this story. You are inspiring!
