The Cups

So I finally caved and bought a couple cups.  These are the new Chick-Fil-A cups, and they're a good solid plastic, but the idea is that like a collector's card, these cups come in a bag that you can't see the insides of.  When you open the bag, you get a cup, of course, and these cups are all throw-backs to previous cup designs that Chick-Fil-A released over the years.  Our friend Camille got a cup that honors the very first cup designs many, many years ago.  Oh man.  I remember that cup now back at Lakeshore Mall where there was a Chick-Fil-A there in the food court.  Anyway, tonight Mom opened hers and you can see we got the little lemon chicks, and we also got the old-school cows with signs on one design too.  Supposedly, if you open up one of these bags you have a chance of getting a "golden" cup, which enables you to have free Chick-Fil-A for a year or something like that.  Obviously, you go into these things with low expectations there, but still in the back of your mind as you open the bag you're thinking of Charlie Bucket, and how he got Willy Wonka's Golden Ticket!  Yes, this could be my big chance!  

Or not.  Anyway, it was a quiet day.  Maddie had chapel this morning and it was super brief - Emma and three others were guest speakers that were tag-teaming message points for the students, and that was fun.  The day was rainy, and there were storms too.  Tonight we saw big flashes of lightning in the sky.  I think there were reports of heavy hail nearby too, all interesting stuff for February.

Maddie had her taekwondo tonight, and I was walking on the college track, moving along virtually in Dublin.  I'm a bit behind on that walk, so I've got some catching up to do there.  But it's super pleasant walking out there - we had a break in the rain that worked out perfectly.

Tonight's feature movie was "Angels in the Outfield."  We'll be watching a lot more baseball movies, now that our "Spring Training" series is about to start at KidPak.  I forgot how many people were in this movie,  and it was a lot of fun too.  Classic old-school Disney movie with warmth and fun.  I had my Angels hat on while watching.  I'll never forget Mom all dressed up for the kids at KidPak so many years ago, dressed up as an angel with that same Angels ball cap.  I wear it to this day, and I always think of that. She literally looked like an angel!

Of course we read tonight before bed, moving along with "Night Watch," a bit of a time travel story in the world of the Discworld.  Things are just getting set up here, as Vimes has fallen through the Unseen University Library, and through time.  We said our prayers after that, and now it's time for sleep!
