So Anti-Climatic This Year ...

Today was what is appearing to be my annual visit to the Honey Baked Ham store for the Easter Sunday Ham.

Last year's  Easter Fun at the Honey Baked Ham store had me anticipating a long line and picky customers.  I actually made sure I went all by myself today so I didn't have to worry about my kids complaining about how long it was taking.

I had a doctor's appointment so my Mom had Donovan and Norah was in school.  The closest Honey Baked Ham Store was within a mile or two of the doctor's office so I decided to go today when I knew I'd be by myself.  The doctor's appointment was a quick one so I had plenty of time to wait in a very long line and still probably be able to pick up Norah from school without having to utilize "extended day care".

I pull into the parking lot and there were hardly any cars.  I was worried the store was actually closed because the last couple of times I've gone shopping for the beloved Easter Ham I had to wait in a line that was out the door long.  I was happy to see that the lights were on, employees inside and the door opened with ease.  I was dumbfounded - where was all the customers???  Did I miss Easter or something???  I actually had to pick which employee I wanted to help me.  There were three employees eagerly awaiting for my decision.  I decided on the young man who was closest to the "exit"- no other reason than that.  He took my order, went to the refrigerator door pulled out a Ham, carefully undressed it and I'll be damned it was "beautiful"!  Just like last year, I found my "ham in the rough" on the first try!

Isn't She A Beauty?
I can tell you She smells really good too!

Maybe I need to play the lottery - whatcha think???  He carefully dressed the Ham back up and double bagged it.

Silly me forgot my coupon.  Just because I like to torture myself, I asked the cashier so what kind of "deal" am I missing out on since I left my coupon sitting on my counter?  She says to me, "oh look at that, I just have an extra coupon just for you!"  BONUS!  Saved me some $5.00.  Love it, just love it!
