Dirty Soda And A Free Cup At HuHot

Whenever we're craving stir fry, we head to HuHot since it's all you can eat. And you prepare your own bowls, so it's exactly how YOU want it. Not how a worker wants it. 

Even better, they have dirty sodas PLUS you get a free cup for a limited time.


You can add coconut, vanilla, or lime to your favorite soda. 

I went with a vanilla Dr. Pepper and it was spectacular.


And my stir fry was delicious as always. Yakisoba noodles, beef, chicken, onions, peas, corn, and cabbage with a spicy sauce. 

Plus, yes, the cup is fun. 




I noticed this sign and I'm assuming it's going on at all locations. So dress up for free stir fry!



My daughter is excited to bring her cup to college. At parties the Red Solo Cups are everywhere, and she plans on bringing her HuHot cup. 



If you go to HuHot, let me know what Dirty Soda you create because I might try it the next time we go in. (Which will be soon, as we seriously love the spot and are there often.)

Hey, It's Okay

 I got this idea from Glamour magazine. You can link up any day of the week. All you have to do is make a list of what you're okay about. Simple! Please do not link up a post that has nothing to do with Hey, It's Okay. It's rude and I'll delete the link.


HEY, IT'S OKAY....


......to be starting to pack for our Walt Disney World trip next week. We leave on Monday. Yay!


......to be going to Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party. Yup, it's already Halloween season over there. The last time we went was 2018, so we are thrilled to go again. 


......to be proud of Natalie for finishing up her lifeguard job at Aquatica. Her last day was the 10th. She had to stop since her college is over 30 minutes away and with traffic, it's just insane. 


......to be going to see Spider-Man Brand New Day again. I guess we weren't tortured enough the first time around. Truly though, it is a good movie. 


.....to hope Natalie gets all her college packing done. We return from Disney World on August 22nd and she moves into her dorm the 23rd. She is indecisive about what to bring and has to stare at it all and then figure out what she truly needs.

What We Found At The Oddities & Curiosities Expo

We love the strange. The bizarre. The odd. Natalie had heard about the Oddities & Curiosities Expo and had always wanted to attend. They have come through town before, but we hadn't been able to make it.

But this time?

We made sure to be there.


So what exactly will you find?

Well.

Allow me to share.

First, stuff like this:


And this:


And everything is handmade, so it's impressive. Do spiders freak me out a bit? Yes. But I can appreciate the art. 

There are booths upon booths upon booths, so there truly is a huge selection of oddities. 

This raccoon is me when I need caffeine:



And who couldn't love a stripper duckling?



And don't worry, you won't only come across deceased creatures.

Some booths had these:


I got this rat for the front room. So when people walk in, they know it'll be a fun home.

(I'm kidding. It was out of my budget. But if I could afford it, I promise, it would be sitting there greeting visitors.)



We discovered another booth with different food mixes. Natalie loves the movie Obsession, so she was a fan of this bag:



I was partial to this one:


If you want to check out the Oddities & Curiosities Expo, check to see if it's coming to your city. They seem to do this every year, so if you don't make it in 2026, there's always 2027. It's a wonderful way to support small businesses.
