A Sign?

My Day:

Meet friend for lunch.
Shop with friend for office furniture in largest Pottery Barn in the United States.
Say bye to friend.
Head to Pottery Barn near home to drool over office furniture some more.
Meet more friends in Pottery Barn, have fun visit.
Leave Pottery Barn.
Drive by TCBY on the way home.
Go through drive-thru and order low-fat yogurt cone.
Spot "Fudge Brownie Sundae" on menu.
Change order to Fudge Brownie Sundae.
Pull up to window and receive HUGE, chocolate-dripping, nut covered, Brownie Sundae.
Pay employee and gawk at sundae.
Wait while employee rings up purchase.
While waiting, turn on radio.
Commercial just ending, radio begins blaring, "Fat Bottom Girls."♫
;}
Eat sundae anyway. :)
That is all.

I feel certain the song was referring to the person who gave you the sundae - not you. At least that is how I would take it....:)

Ok, nice story, but it didn't end with as good of an ending as it should have...the rest was: come home with some great PB furniture at a killer price to go in the most awesome new office. How's that? Fat Bottom Girls was meant for the people in line behind you. ;O)

Sounds like a perfect ending to a perfect day! I am sure that while you were burning up a bajillion calories doing your walking and shopping, you countered any calories in that sundae! The song was referring to the rears of others. But of course I have to share a conversation with my sister from a few years ago.
Sister: I hate having cellulite.
Me: Thank goodness I don't have trouble with that.
Sister: Really? When's the last time you looked at your backside?

Dear Susan,
Didn't you know that a "Fudge Brownie Sundae" was a decorator's delight. . .the power boost you need for enthusiam, inspiration and creativity? ? ?Haven't heard the song, but I'd say you're on the right track with TWO trips to Pottery Barn! You might want to check out Ballard Designs as well. . . www.ballarddesigns.com
Fondly,
Pat

That is funny!
But I'm still struck by the lovely description of the beautiful sundae...

Hi Susan,

Everyone deserves a hot fudge sundae every now and then. Besides you had already walked off all of the calories. Enjoy it guilt free. Life is short...eat dessert first.
