I had mushy peas last Friday. We had lunch in the city at a place called Joey's Only. My daughter and I were on a grad dress (yes, for NEXT June) shopping trip and had given up at that point. Had the fish and mushy peas and then tried a different shop that the waitress told us about - got much better service, much better price and found the only dress that made us both a bit weepy - it may have been the dress or the residual effects of the mushy peas.
It is crazy I know - with my boys we went to the city a week or two before grad and picked out a suit, shirt, tie and shoes, they hemmed them that day and you went back in to pick up your items - for dresses, first you have to tell them what school you go to to see if you are even allowed to buy the dress or if someone else has spoken for it, then you have to put down a 50% deposit because the dresses are not yet made but are "next year's models" like cars. I am glad someone told me or this or we would have been in a pickle next May or June.
