Where Everybody Knows Your Name...



I have a confession. I LOVE ice cream. There, I've said it.
Sadly, I have come to realize that this may not be a good thing. Not only for the fat and calories but also because of the easy accessability. The building where I work is connected to a food court and what does every food court have? Yes, that's right, a McDonald's, where hot fudge sundaes with peanuts are offered for $1.08, including tax. I know, I'm pathetic.
You know you have frequented a certain McDonald's one too many times when they don't even ask your name when you order anymore. Granted, they didn't remember my correct name, thank heavens, because when I ordered they put my name down as "Dominic". Do I look like a "Dominic?" The first time this happened to me I was in shock! Notice that I said first? This has happened a few times now. How embarassing that a fast food restaurant practically has your order ready for you when they see you coming down the escalator? Ok, maybe it's not that bad but that's still pretty embarassing.
Oh well, I won't let that get me down. I have to have my sometimes tri-weekly fix... let's face it, these things are delicious!

The Addiction Has Ended


We can now have our lives back.
Dave and I don't watch much T.V., in fact, we don't watch any T.V. really. But, we do have Netflix. We started Netflixing Prison Break and after watching the first disc of the first season (which is the best season by the way) we became 100% hooked. My friend Connie was nice enough to see how anxious we got when we had to return a disc and were without Prison Break for a whole 2 days so she let us borrow her seasons, one at a time. We didn't want to get carried away. I am not ashamed to say that I pretty much almost cried when it was over. Ok, maybe I am, please don't judge me.
Now we can, as Dave says, "get on with our lives". It is definitely bitter/sweet but our home has suffered from neglect so it's time to wipe away the tears (you think I'm kidding), roll up our sleeves and get to work.
Any suggestions for our next addiction? ha ha (we are giving ourselves at least 6 months to recoup)
