Isn't life grand.

Ok so last night I had a two hour meeting at the church. Because the meeting started at 5:00, I left the house around 4:30. And because this was too early to eat dinner, I decided to wait. Someone else in the church (not in the meeting) did not have to wait, so for two hours I got to smell the delicious aroma of their dinner coming from the kitchen. This made me very hungry. When I got home, I greeted Doug with, “I’m hungry, what did you have for dinner?”(not very nice, huh?) Well, never mind that, because Doug being the super-duper guy that he is, just smiled and pulled a brown paper Po-Boy’s BBQ bag from the fridge. Yay!! Po-Boy’s only has the best BBQ EVER! It’s this scary little diner on Meridian that has all of its original 1970’s fixtures and (I'm sure) some of its original dirt. I, personally, would have never, ever gone in that place. (something about old, rundown places… I avoid) But, Doug, who doesn’t have obsessions like I do, was pulled off the streets one day by its aroma. He liked it so much, he brought me home a sandwich and we’ve been addicted ever since.

So, after I ate my sandwich last night, without too many bites or too many breaths (I paid for that later) I settled in on the couch with my blanket. Ahhhh. While Doug was busy conquering the world via his computer game, I had sole possession of the remote control. I flipped through the channels to my hearts content. At first my mind kept saying, “You ought to do your homework.” Then my mind would say, “No, this is fun, do this.” So, I did that. I spent the rest of the night flipping between the food channel (I have a fascination with the Iron Chef….both American and Japanese….I don’t know why…..the food they fix is not really edible is it?....but anyway) and a figure skating competition. And so, I said, "What more could you want?" Being warm, full and entertained, I marveled, "Isn't life grand!"
