OK, so I cheated today. I had McDonalds for lunch. I blame my Credit Union. I went to the oh-so-wonderful Credit Union this afternoon, in order to obtain a Cashier�s Check. Well�lo and behold�There was no line! You have no idea how I jumped for joy at this once-in-a-lifetime discovery. I�m lucky I walked away with no broken bones. So after spending mere minutes at the Credit Union, rather than my usual hour, I was in a quandary as to how to spend the rest of the time I had allotted myself to get a cashier�s check. I was also on a high, seeing as how I had just walked right up to a teller window without having to wait in a line chock-full of other whiny and impatient customers. See? I keep having to repeat the tale of this phenomenon, as I still can�t believe it actually happened. So in my joy and bliss, I just could not find the wherewithal to ignore the clambers in my tummy, calling out for a Filet of Fish sammich. This is actually my third digression in to the land of fast food, despite my vow to avoid such evils from here on out. However, I take little to no responsibility for any of the following transgressions. 1. I had a single burger at Wendy�s. This was on my way up to see John, a few weeks ago. I left work at noon without having eaten all day. I was bound to get hungry. Seeing as I was on the road, it was fast food or stale Lays potato chips from some gas station so I opted for the burger. And yes, I know that I could have had a freakin� salad at Wendy�s. I was driving. It�s not easy to eat with a fork when both hands should, presumably, be on the wheel. Shut up. 2. Alanna and I went to McDonald�s last week. I had a Filet of Fish and fries. It was a bad day. Believe me when I say that I had no choice. I needed the fast food. 3. Today�s Filet of Fish and fries. And damn, they were good! ~~~ John laughed this weekend and made a comment about how I am always cool when he is hot and vice-verse. He was all hot at the time and my hands were cool. See? I ain�t lyin�. ~~~ At the risk of tempting even more people to move to S. California, I must say it has been absolutely gorgeous over the past several days. Over the weekend, it was clear and about 80 degrees. It�s now cooled down about 15 of those degrees, but it is still clear and gorgeous. Driving by the ocean every morning has been an especially lovely treat this week. It�s been incredibly windy, though. My contacts are rather filmy right now, because I dared leave my office this afternoon and venture out in to that wind. My sister has had a sinus headache for three days straight. So don�t move here, ya�ll. It�s windy sometimes. We have earthquakes. We have hellacious traffic. We have fires. We have mud slides. Once every ten years or so we have to have a riot; it�s like in the LA County bi-laws or something. You won�t like it here. Don�t come. ~~~ Hmm�so it�s been a few days since I�ve updated with any real sort of entry and what do I have to say? Apparently, not much. P.S. I seem to have an ongoing problem lately,. Every time I post a new entry, it actually posts twice, without my consent. Is everyone having this problem, or am I just special? |
