I've decided that i'm not doing New Year's resolutions this year. I always forget them anyways, so why even bother to take the time to think of them just so i can forget them or break them in a few weeks. I'm just going to make a broad statement resolution...To Be Better. I want to be a better person, a better cook, a better wife, a better mom, a better friend, a better ATC, just better in general. I am going to make it a point to work on this every single day, not just broadly and in general.
I am going to have McDonald's for lunch today. Why did i feel the need to tell you that today? Here's why...on New Year's Eve, Frank and I pretty much stayed home all day long. But by dinner time, we were sick of the food in the house, and we were craving other things. So we get showered, changed and we packed up Mady and made a break for McDonalds. Like typical us, we had to goof around and waste time at home before we left, so by the time we made it to McyD's, it was 6:55pm. We got out of the car, only to find the doors locked. LOCKED. Locked at 6:55pm! The sign on the door said 7pm closing, but yet it was only 6:55pm. We did, however, notice that there were cars in the drive through. We immediately got in the car, thinking that the drive through would be open until at least 7pm, if not a bit later. We got in line, made it to the speaker, and nothing. The lights were all on, but nobody was home. They weren't answering us at all! We sat there until 7:01pm and decided to bail before we ate each other. Burger King it was (since it was on the way home). Well, just as we were pulling into the parking lot, the lights were turned off...crap!! Closed for 2008 they said. Ok, we need another plan and fast because we were really hungry by now. We finally decided on Subway. We turned into WalMart, and drove past the doors first to make sure it was open before we got out of the car into the cold. It was. So we went in and ordered our subs, ready to sit down and feast on sub-goodness. Nope, shut down again!! "We're closing in 15min, so you'll have to be out of the dining room". Did she realize that it would take us that long just to get situated at a table and open our subs up?! So we just took the food and brought it home. Of course, by the time we got it home, it was cold, but at least we had something. So basically, thank you McDonalds, for NOT serving me the Big Mac i so craved. Thank you McDonalds, for closing at 7pm on New Years Eve...would 8pm kill you? Thank you McDonalds, for employing teenagers that feel the need to be out of there at 7pm, even though they can't go drinking for New Years anyway. Way to go McDonalds! Screw us all!
Thank God the rest of the night didn't go as badly. Even though Frank and I stayed home alone all night long, we had such a good time, it was like the best party of the year happening right in our living room! We drank, we watched the ball drop, and we hosted our own karaoke party staring US!
