Lunch 101

Now Listening: KT Tunstall

Ok - this is annoying as all hell.
Its simple. You go into a sandwich shop.
Could be any sandwich shop. But for arguments sake, lets says it is also a BAGEL shop.
On the wall is a well thought out, professionally made sign letting you know what sandwiches you can have made for your lunchtime enjoyment.

You order one of the house specialties.
You think, hm... I shall enjoy this lovely sandwich while dining at my desk.
You even ask the smiling person behind the counter " Does that have the Thai Peanut Sauce on it?" to which she replies "Oh, it comes on the side"
You pay -- too much as usual.
And go back to your desk. Open the bag in eager anticipation of the lunch-y goodness that awaits you and realize....
The cute smiling MoMo who made your sandwich doesn't know the difference between Peanut Sauce and Peanut Butter.

I think this might be like, the 5th sign that the apocalypse is upon us.
Meanwhile, my sandwich sucked.

Back By Popular Demand

Now Watching: Episode III: Revenge of the Sith

So there are enough of you that read this that have given me a ration of crap over my lack of posting lately.
Well played all of you.
Well played, indeed.

Its just that I have been working like a crazy woman and the last thing that has held my interest when i get home is actually firing up the computer.
That and the online thing has been in a holding pattern....
That is until late last week/early this week.

The first one has arrived.
Jason the Love Guru has chosen and he has sent Mark my way.
Mark is 39. A banker. Sounds like a nice enough guy.
Cute. Dark hair.
To the best of my knowledge: No children, does not think of Applebee's as a culinary delight, spells well and from what I can tell, doesn't believe that NASCAR is a clothing style. Or a lifestyle for that matter.
So now I am in waiting pattern. According the Love Guru -- we are to wait a few days and see what happens.

Ps - Chewie rocks. So does Yoda.
"The boy you trained, gone he is"
Yoda is one bad-ass little green man.

Not sure exactly what the next steps are. Jason is supposed to let me know when he hears back from the match and then we go from there.

I did have a birthday this week. Let me tell you -- with every year after 30 the need for celebration gets less and less enticing. Especially when your b-day is a monday.
Bleh.
But much love to all those that came out for drinks and stuck around for dinner.
I had a good night.

On an additional side note, i have turned into a lazy pig.
Since Martine went all Bruce Lee on me and busted up her knee, I have been minus a work out partner.
And without a workout partner, I just don't quite have the energy to get up in the AM.
I have to be the only person who puts on weight in the summer and loses it in the winter.
Makes PERFECT sense.

  • Tank Top = more celulite.
  • Turtleneck = 6 pack abs.
Ok, a 6 pack is a stretch. more like a liter bottle ...
But is it the principle people.

So there it is. A short update at best. But a start it is.
Back on the wagon I jump.
