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 not be pleased that it's going to get cold again this week. The weather has been up and down in Texas. One day it's in the 70s, the next day it's in the 40s. Not fun. And my body is confused.

....to be happy that Tommy was able to visit over the weekend from college. Sadly, his college still had classes on President's Day, but Natalie's High School was off. 

......to be re-reading The Testaments, which is the sequel to The Handmaid's Tale. The final season finally releases on Hulu in April. The book sort of goes over what all will be happening. And yes, Hulu is about to green light a show also titled The Testaments so the story of Gilead will continue. The book is told in 3 different voices: Agnes (June's daughter Hannah), Aunt Lydia (who is realizing Gilead isn't what she thought it was), and Daisy (I won't give away who she is.) You can buy the book here. 

......to have checked out the Disney Princess collection at Bath & Body Works. Sadly, most of the stuff I wanted was gone, but I did get some hand sanitizers. I am after the Cinderella and Belle sanitizer holder. The princesses features at Belle, Moana, Ariel, Jasmine, & Tiana. I hope Rapunzel is included in the future.

Eating At Bob's Big Boy In Burbank

We love diners! Especially ones that have been open for years. 

Bob's Big Boy has been around since the 1949. In fact, they're the ones who invented the double decker hamburger. McDonald's claims they created it as the Big Mac, but nope, Bob's Big Boy was first.

There aren't a lot of locations left, sadly, but there is one in Burbank, California. It was walking distance to our hotel The Tangerine so we decided to stop in. 

First of all, check out the retro vibes out front:

And here is their mascot. You might recognize him from Austin Powers: International Man Of Mystery. Dr. Evil escapes in his butt at the end of the movie.

Many celebrities have eaten at Bob's Big Boy. They have pictures on the wall on some famous folks who have dined. These include The Beatles, Mickey Rooney, and many others:

A movie was even filmed inside. It was called Heat. I haven't seen it but it starred Val Kilmer and Robert DeNiro. There were photos of the scene:

Here's the set up inside:

We were led back to a table and given the menu. You can check out the menu here:

Of course I had to try the Double Deck Hamburger, and yes, it was delicious. They also had flavor shots, so I had a Diet Cherry Coke. My daughter had a Chocolate Cake and it wasted like a tootsie roll:

For dessert we had to get the Famous Fudge Cake and yeah, it was devoured in minutes:

We liked our visit so much that we went again for breakfast. I got the fried French Toast and, I mean, look. Obviously they were delicious:

And then we actually went AGAIN the day we left Burbank. So we stopped in a total of 3 times and each time was a fantastic experience. They even have a small merch area set up so we got some t-shirts and other Bob's Big Boy souvenirs. 

Yes, the next time we're in Burbank, we'll return to Bob's Big Boy. We need to check them out on a Friday night--apparently they have Classic Car Shows in the parking lot. 

Have you ever been to a Bob's Big Boy?

HEY, IT'S OKAY....

.....to have not watched the Super Bowl but heard all about it. I guess Drake was not having a good day after the Half Time performance. 

.....to be amused that people are leaving out that Trump was also booed at the Super Bowl, plus flipped off. But he just likes to point out that it was Taylor Swift who was booed. Sure, dude. Delusions. 

.....to be waiting for the day after Valentine's Day to get a box of chocolates. There's always so many left and 50% off sounds nicer to me. 

.....to think it's cute that Natalie made this sign for her boyfriend to ask him to be her Valentine. (He said yes! And he had asked her to be HIS Valentine with a stuffed whale and hand drawn comic about sealife.)
