Prince Spaghetti Day

[lesliepear]

 

(Does anyone else remember this commercial, does the spaghetti even exist anymore?)

 

Alan and I were back to our usual places yesterday, this was a quick running cold at least. Tonight is “Open School Night” – basically it is public relations to get the school budget passed in next week’s election. All 3 of us will stop by to say hi to Alan’s teacher though. I doubt anyone else will come, so it’s a free parent-teacher conference. We went last year, although they did schedule it on Passover. (At least they learned from that this year).

 

On Monday when we were home, I was doing laundry. Often when I do laundry, Alan follows me out into the hall across the hall to the laundry room. Unfortunately he chose to do it when the door was locked – so he and I were locked out for about an hour. He had his cars to play with at least, but my feet were cold as I was just about to put socks on. It was actually good for us to spend time together without TV – we looked out the windows a lot and played games. And the last load of laundry did finish while we were out there. (Actually the only reason I’d done that load was that he leaked when we napped.)

 

And the past 2 mornings I’d managed to squirt hair styling goo (Garnier Fructis Smoothing Milk – good stuff) on my shirt while dressing. I’m spazzy.

 

Yesterday, I offered to stop at Gap to help out an online friend. She wanted this shirt for her son

She ended up getting it elsewhere, but I ended up getting it for Alan. It’s really cute – if only the weather would warm up so he could wear it!

 

Anyway, back to work…..

So Prince Spaghetti is being made somewhere, just not in Lowell anymore. I think the brand is still on store shelves in New England, but since I sold my late parents' house in 2002, I don't really go much into supermarkets when I visit Massachusetts.

I remember those commercials! :-)

Garnier Fructis Smoothing Milk

I love that stuff.

Alan must be feeling better. That's good news.

My 15 yr old daughter is spazzy too, she spills smoothing milk on her clothes on a daily basis. But it does make her hair so shinny!

Wednesday is Prince spaghetti night!
"Anthony!"

It may be because I am Italian. :-)
And I'm old.

TCP is having a huge $4.99 sale right now in their outlet online (and in stores I hear) there are codes that bring it down to $4... CLUBEA47 for 20% off, or there is NMSM37 for $10 off of $30.

I was in store yesterday - they had very cute polo shirt dresses for babies really cheap - I'll check online, but when I was at the site earlier not much was left.

That was bad you was locked in. How could you come out there later? Did you husband come home and helped you? We took away lock from the bathroom (there we have the washer) when Lennart was little.

Our washer/dryer is a shared one - across the hall from our apartment. Our door automatically closes (safety law) so if it happens to be locked, you can't get back in.

My husband let us back in the apartment when he got home.

Mangare!!
