My two favorite things

Thank you to the makers of Dayquil and Cherry KitKats for getting me through this day.

And why can't you make the Cherry KitKats year round? Why only at Valentines Day?

What about DayQuil flavored KitKats? I could get behind that product.

why i hate crispy creme donuts...

Today at work, one of my co-workers had an unfortunate lunch time run-in with a person she had been seeing, but he had mysteriously disappeared. It was traumatic for her…and probably one of the more painful run-in’s of its type. Although I can admit I have been lucky enough to avoid a mess like this, it did get me thinking about those inevitable moments of our lives where we run into someone we would much rather go the rest of our lives never seeing again.

I was attending my classes at the U and had been “involved” with this guy that was in one of my classes. Semester had ended, which incidentally coincided with our “involvement” ending, and I was taking new classes and hadn’t had to see him for some time. I was in a class on World Poverty, and for some reason, we thought that since it was a pretty small class, and in the evening, we would take turns bringing treats to class. So, as we talked about how many people in the world survive off of less than $1.00 a day, we nibbled on all assortments of goodies.

Okay – so, one fateful evening, I am walking towards my classroom carrying two dozen Crispy Crème donuts – and surprise, surprise! So, this is the moment he has to see…. We exchanged a few pleasantries, such as “How are you?” (ie…You are an ass!) and “How is school?” (ie…Do you still have zero ambition?” While these pleasantries are going on, all I can think is, “WHY DO I HAVE TO HAVE TWO DOZEN DONUTS IN MY HANDS RIGHT NOW?” AND “GREAT…NOW HE THINKS LOSING OUT ON HIM DROVE ME TO THE DONUTS!”

Mortifying. It was completely mortifying. It was one of those moments that you think about trying to fall asleep that night, and all you can do is shudder…and wish for death. You have to give yourself the talk about how this really doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of life, and thankfully it turned out to be true. Although, thinking about this right now, I still shudder just a little bit!
