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 always love having my kids home for the weekend--they were here for Easter, and we had the best time. They did get baskets, and we had brunch with my Mom.

......to have taken them to see Project Hail Mary--I had already seen it, but they hadn't, and I didn't mind watching again. They loved the film as I do! Natalie wants to try and make a mini Rocky one day.

.......to currently be reading The Heir Apparent by Rebecca Armitage. It's about Lexi, who was born into royalty, but broke away from it to live her dreams. She's off in Australia when she hears that her father and brother, who had been heir to the throne, has died. Suddenly she has a choice to make: will she accept being the next heir, or will she give up the crown to her awful Uncle? Reading this reminds me that it would not be easy being a royal. I'd miss my privacy and I'd lose it with all the rules. 

......to be going to a Clowns, Clowns, Clowns event with Natalie over the weekend. Yes, it's exactly what it sounds like. She will be going as Pennywise. 

......to have gotten this outfit for Tommy in celebration of the new Spider-Man Brand New Day movie coming out in July. (Get the shirt here and the bottoms here.)

Confused? Well, Tom Holland was pictured in it a few years back:

HUNTRIX KPOP Demon Hunters Happy Meal

I am a sucker for trying new foods even when I have no idea what movie the new foods come from.

I mean, yes, I have heard of Kpop Demon Hunters--I do not live in a cave. I know that popular song because it plays everywhere. But I've never seen it. Still, when McDonald's announced a collab, I was like, you know what, I'm in!

The box was pretty cool and colorful. I'm not sure who the characters are, but they seem like fun ladies. 

Here's what the box contained. I got the 10 piece chicken nugget meal, and it came with the shaker fries, sauces, nuggets, and that shaker bag.

Here are the sauces. The demon sauce was purple and spicy and the hunter sauce is like a spicy sweet & sour. 

I am not joking when I say purple. And I like it! I'm a fan of spicy foods, so I thought it was tasty. I preferred it over the hunter sauce.

And the shaker fries? Well, the flavoring did taste like ramen, and I like ramen, so I was happy with them.

I don't think I need this meal again, but I WOULD order nuggets and the demon sauce. I did enjoy the combo. 

Oh, and here were the cards that I got. Again, no idea who they are, but the cat creature reminds me of how I look after I guzzle down my crisp Diet Coke from McDonald's. 

This meal is available for a limited time, so if you want one, I'd stop in as these kind of meals sell out quickly.

All You Can Eat At JPot San Antonio

If you tell me a restaurant is All You Can Eat, I'm game.

In this economy, I need to get my money's worth and I feel I can do that when I can keep ordering the food. 

JPOT is a spot like this.

And even better, on select days, kids eat free. I think kids to them are 10 and under. If Natalie looked younger, I'd have been all, "You're 10 today." I'm kidding. It's best to be honest. (*Shifty eyes*)

Anyhow, Natalie picked this spot to celebrate her birthday. You create Hot Pots. And for $5 more, you can grill meats and seafood in the center of the table. 

Oh, and it's lovely inside.

We liked the Cherry Blossom decor. I hope to see them live in Washington one day. I know the real things are gorgeous!

Here is one side of the menu. If you want to see the full menu, check it out here with current prices. This is the grill side, and look at all the choices. And yes, they are NEVERENDING.

Plus there's even more choices on the line. Like nuggets and fries for the picky kids, plus other selections.

Plus we found veggies, spices, and ice cream bars. Also all you can eat.

And a bunch of sauces for the Hot Pot and meats and seafood. Yup, there's seafood as well. Natalie tried the octopus and said it was good. Warning: it does arrive with the tentacles. We should have sang Poor Unfortunate Souls with it. Next time, I guess.

I'm not joking when I saw there is A LOT of food. We were surrounded by it. We joked that this was how Henry VIII dined. Every area of the table had some sort of meat on it. 

And how did the hot pot come out? I picked a spicy broth, and I liked it. Natalie tried the miso and said it was tasty. I put chicken, pork belly, and veggies in there. Plus other sauces and spices. I can't recall. I felt like a witch making a potion. It was fun.

Would we go back? Yes! We can't afford to go ALL the time, but on special occasions, yes. Because as I mentioned, you will get your money's worth. And yes, they do military discount as well.

Have you ever been to a restaurant like this?
