Free Slurpee Day!

Well today is one of the greatest days of the year in the eyes of my siblings and I, the famous 7/11! Of course to anyone that thrives off of free stuff the way my family does this means a slurpee from 7/11 with no strings attached! This year it fell on the day after Colette's four week birthdat and the day before she turns a month old! Therefore I found it only necessary that I introduce her to this hallowed day. Whether living in Dearborn Heights or Brighton I have had the precious gift of a 7/11 within walking distance. Today Colette and I took our first walk to ours and undertook several bewildered glances of the passersby who saw a young woman in pigtails with a wee babe strapped to her belly huffing and puffing down Grand River in 80 degree weather. Oh the things you'll do for a slurpee! The cool taste of my half coke, half cherry slush slipping down my throat was well worth it!Colette, I look forward to next year when you'll be able to take your first sip!
