I have an addiction. It costs money, it's unhealthy, and if my needs are not met, I turn into a freak of nature.
A few years back, I was jonesin real bad for a shamrock shake. Laura and I had gone in SEVERAL times for one and they kept giving the same answer, "They should be here Friday" "They should be here in a few days" etc. We waited, we were patient. Finally, one day I'd had an awful day, and we strolled over to McDonald's.
"I'd like a large shamrock shake, please," I said, calmly placing my order and waiting the minty goodness that I'd been longing for.
"I'm sorry, we don't have them in yet."
I snapped. "Are you f#$ing kidding me?!"
From there it went downhill. I yelled, I screamed, Laura shoved me out the glass double doors saying, "I promise, she's not always like this! I'm sorry."
Though St. Patties Day was yesterday, I hear my McDonald's is already out of the beloved shakes. I died inside a little.
Until we meet again, friend. Until we meet again.
I write a bit of everything, I try to get some of it published. Most times, I get rejected. I submit again (to other places). Eventually, I get published. In the meantime, I complain about the hazards of real life. It's a process, really.

Sadness! I've never tried one, something tells me I shouldn't!
ReplyDeleteShouldn't because you don't like minty goodness, or because you may acquire a new addiction? :)
