Wawa for Thanksgiving

And here we go again. The journey has begun and it started with my local Wawas as you could imagine. The challenge begun on Wednesday, November 24th, the day before Thanksgiving and I only hit 1 because I decided I wanted to take a lazy day as many of these days off around Thanksgiving have been and will be.

So on Wednesday I went up to my usual Wawa to get the paper. This is my usual Wawa because it is in close proximity to I-95 which I hop on to get to work every day. Nothing special about this trip, just doing my old-man thing and buying the Philadelphia Inquirer so I could read the news and do the crossword. And by 'do the crossword' I mean get about 30% of it done and give up because I'm still not good at them. What I fail to do is look at the paper the next day and see the full crossword done. Maybe then I could learn some things and actually end up completing a crossword one day. But nope. Still haven't learned.

Onto Thanksgiving day. Happy post-thanksgiving everyone! I did not get a chance to post yesterday as I spent the majority of the day at my parent's house. On my way I stopped for gas at the Wawa in Parkesburg, PA. So I thought I was done for the day since I didn't think I'd stop for food after a large & wonderful Thanksgiving dinner. However, I still did. On my way back at around 10pm I needed by Mountain Dew fix since I hadn't had one in awhile. I also got Pretzel M&M's. If you haven't had pretzel M&M's yet...get them! They are fantastic.

Black Friday
I was not planning on going out for Black Friday shopping today but when I woke up I realized I had nothing better to do, so I showered and went out to see if I could get a little Christmas shopping done or maybe get a few things for myself. I of course needed my Wawa coffee before I got going, so I stopped at the Wawa on the corner of Rt-202 & Naamans Road for hazelnut coffee & a breakfast sandwich. For anyone who knows me or read the blog before, you know you will be seeing a lot more of hazelnut coffee popping up on this blog. So I hit the ATM for some cash, get my coffee & sandwich and get into my car. While getting into my car, I realized I did not ask for a receipt. Doh. I semi-panicked. I wasn't going to go in and be like - "umm, remember me? I purchased coffee & a breakfast sandwich about 10 customers ago. no? well, can you print my receipt for me anyways?" No, I didn't do that. However - what I did remember was that I hit the ATM and got cash...and more importantly...a receipt! Success. Take my picture of the store and move on.
