But the point of it is, what happened to just a string of lights and a wreath on the door? Oh, who am I kidding? We have deer and other crap set out in our front yard too.
And if some deer and a big Texas outline that has flashing lights that spell out "Merry Christmas, Y'all" doesn't put you in the mood, surely this will get you going.Oh, and attention Garden Ridge: It is Christmas season. Can we open up more than two cash registers?

So we had to run to Ingram Park Mall to find something at Kirkland's, but we got there before they opened up. We decided to walk around for a bit, and some lady snagged my wife to demonstrate some Russian style hair flatting device. Okay, I say Russian because they lady had a really thick Russian accent. Anyway, the lady starts messing with my wife's hair and she is being a good sport about it though she tried to walk away several times and was too polite to say, Get off me, bitch! About the time I walk back up to them, I hear the lady telling my wife that the little straightening thing is regularly priced $352.00 but right now, she could let it go for $159.00. I nearly bust a gut trying to throw my laugh in a different direction. My wife was a little more pleasant simply saying, "Oh, hell no!" Seriously, if you saw this thing, you'd be sure it was the same thing they sell at Walgreen's for $19.99. I mean, our economy can't be so jacked-up if people will pay $159 much less $352 to straighten their hair.

We went in to Kirkland's, got the few items we needed then by chance went down to the Sears just to observe and report as needed.I wonder if they really want you to walk down the blue line, then stand directly in front of the sign until called to the register. Apparently, the lady did not think so.

After a trip to HEB Plus, we thought we would try out the new Freddy's Frozen Custard place they built on Potranco Road near Highway 151. The place was packed, but we figured we would give it a shot.Not so fast my friends. Apparently, they were just feeding each other because it still isn't open yet. Has anyone ever eaten at one of these places? I am assume it is a chain. What should I order? Tell me about it.

Not a big fan of Freddy's. Food is very bland to me and if you want something exotic on your burger, like tomatoes, you have to pay extra! Sonic is much better IMHO. The custard is good but mine if always runny. How can you serve something runny and call it a Concrete? I'd rather have a Blizzard any day. Very disappointed every time I've been there.

Saves me a trip! Thanks ;)
We didn't mind Freddy's steakburger and fries. Not great, but not bad.
The fries are really skinny so they're crisp.
But I never eat anywhere that's newly opened--give them a few weeks to get up to speed.
So, did you buy the singing outhouse?

Yes. Of course!
Freddy's is OK for a quick lunch. We have one over our way at the Forum. I compare their french fries to those that you can get at Steak and Shake. Burgers are sorta that way too. Give it a whirl sometime. It will make the Lord's Kitchen that much better next time. Thanks for the tip by the way on the Lord's Kitchen. Good eats!
I should have the singing outhouse too! I'm in WV. We're kinda known for being outhouse using hillbillies (not true - most of the population have indoor plumbing).
So it seems this place is a wanna-be Stake and Shake. the #6 seems to be the safest choise, SteakBurger Califonia Style. Mom thought this place was similar to the Northern favorite "Friendly's" but after looking at the menu... it's not.
