originally, i was going to have tacos. then i thought subway would be better. i like the scrabble game. i like the illusion that i might actually win something, even though i never do.
while walking through the mall, i saw a sign that said “fire it up. cool it down” and it was a weztel’s pretzel ad for their jalapeño/pepperoni pretzel and frozen lemonade. it sounded to me like something i could sink my teeth into. i found the pretzel place and ended up getting three pretzels instead of the one, because they were out of the jalapeño/pepperoni ones, so i needed to get one jalapeño one and one pepperoni one. and they were doing a buy two get one free deal, so who am i to turn down a free pretzel? i also got the cherry lemonade.
about 20 minutes later, i wished i had never even saw that sign nor that i had been persuaded by it. the pretzels were bland and barely even edible. i gave the free one away to a co-worker. he was happy. and the cherry lemonade was pure sugar. i ended up throwing everything away after consuming only about half of what i got. wasteful. but i’d rather it be in the trash than killing me.
what have we learned here? play the damn scrabble game. don’t go bonkers and buy a ton of food if you’re not sure you’re going to even like it. also, say “no” to advertising.
tomorrow, it’s house inspection time. i can’t wait and i don’t even know what’s going to happen. but it’s one step closer to living there, so i’m all for it.
i really want a pretzel now.
You do love the yum rockets.
