prosodic | Thursdayness

I finally got my appetite back today! I've been eating mostly cereal and soup for a week now. And I've probably dropped a bunch of weight because of that...everything is loose.

Suddenly, before lunch today, I found myself ravenous. I actually had lunch plans with Teresa today, but she had to cancel due to some business that came up. So I found myself alone, with no packed lunch...got in my car but wasn't sure where I was going.

I thought about teriyaki, but that didn't really appeal to me. Mexican? Not today.

I thought about a Wendy's frosty. I wanted one so badly last Thursday when my throat hurt. Lance never got the chance to run out and get one for me.

And that got me thinking about a Jr. bacon cheeseburger.

So that was lunch today...Jr. bacon cheeseburger, fries, frosty. Yum! It really hit the spot. It was exactly what I wanted.

And I finished lunch by 12:30, so I had time to go down to 7-Eleven and fill up on the cheapest gas I've seen on our end of town. I still got back to work early enough to call my Mom and talk to her for about 10 minutes before I had to go back to work.

I made pizza for dinner tonight. Pillsbury pizza crust, canned pizza sauce, various cheeses and Italian seasoning. It didn't really taste all that great to me. I still don't think anything beats pizzeria pizza.

Tomorrow is a casual day at work - the last one for this month. Officially, anyway. I was told that we could have a "casual day" on Halloween if we came in costume. If we don't come in costume, it's business casual, as usual. Time to resurrect my sock hop costume.

We're also having a fall-themed lunch potluck in a couple weeks, so I need to figure out what I'm bringing for that. Pumpkin pie appeals to me. But I don't feel like baking a pie and I don't want to cheat and buy one. Maybe pumpkin bars? I need to figure this out so I can sign up for something.

It's really cold here today. I don't think it got much about 50 degrees, and we're having thunderstorms here and there (none here in Kent, unfortunately) and snow in the mountains.
