dda---Ramblings I
WARNING: I have decided to enter occasional ramblings to GD. When you see this title with a different number after Ramblings, enter at your own risk. I won't warn you again.
Do you ever find your own actions so absurd that you begin laughing out loud at yourself when out in public?
I had such a moment today.
I was going to make a salad for lunch with some tasty local produce including homegrown tomatoes. I wanted to include chicken breast so decided to buy some from KFC and rip off the skin. I wanted some bread so decided to buy some from a neightborhood pizzeria. I wanted some Tsang Dynasty Thai Padang Peanutbutter Sauce for the salad (very spicy). So I set off to accumulate those ingrediants.
I went to the market nearest my house and they didn't have any Thai Padang Peanutbutter Sauce. Damn. So I headed on to the next market where I knew they carried said Thai Padang Peanutbutter Sauce. Mission accomplished.
On to KFC and again success.
Unfortunately, I had reached the limit of my attention span and drove home. As I was getting out of the car I said to myself, "Where is the warm bread twisty thingies? Forgot them. Damn."
So, back into the auto and off to the pizzeria. I drove down the street and found myself turning back toward the house. Halfway down the block I said to myself, "Where are the warm bread twisty thingies?" Damn!
So I make a u-turn and head off for the pizzeria. A few minutes later I find myself getting out of the car at the Starbucks. I say to myself, "They don't sell warm bread twisty thingies here!" Damn!
On my fourth try I finally got to the pizzeria and got my warm bread twisty thingies. However,
I had to sit in the car for several minutes to get over my laughter.
The salad was excellent. The twisty thingies were worth the effort however, my wife is threatening not to allow me to wander around town without escort in the future.
