This is all I've got.




Ok, I warned you people (and by you people, I mean interwebs people that lurk in the shadows of the night wearing sweat pants and eating reduced fat Nilla Wafers like Target won't ever put them on a "price cut" again and you have to buy 4 boxes at a time. Just me? Ok then.)So as I was saying...I warned "you people" that I wouldn't have much to say if I started a blog. So this is all I've got. This is all that's really been bothering me for a week now, enough to write about.

I love icecream sundaes. I love them in any form, and since beginning Weight Watchers, the sundaes have been lonnnng gonnne like Chris Brown's career. GONE I tell you. So, this past weekend, I allowed myself a sundae. A Mcdonald's hot fudge sundae. It's a DOLLAR. UNO DOLARO. How can you pass that up? Ed always gets the cone, because usually we're driving. Does that make this worse? It might. But it's not as bad as my only woe that I feel compelled enough to share with you here, in this sacred space of joy. As I type this I can tell I've got Nilla wafer crumbs in my keyboard. Ahem. As I was saying.

So the Mcdonald's sundae. I like that they give you the packet of nuts seperately, whereas growing up (oh I'm a long time Mcdonald's sundae enjoyer.) they would just put the nuts right on- no questions asked- you got the nuts,like 'em or not. So now, Mcdonalds has decided to give us a choice. Nuts or no nuts- YOU decide. I like that. Thank you Mcdonalds, for the gift of choice. I never can decide if I want them or not, usually I just leave them in the package and think of eating them after, but Ed talks me out of it, for fear that I won't like them and will throw them out the window, only to have the wind blow them back in his car. (This is a long story, but I have a history of throwing icecream products out the window, if I deem them "window worthy")

Anyway, so as I was enjoying my sundae this past weekend, I noticed that I felt more and more tension as I neared the end. It wasn't so much that the sundae experience was drawing to a close, but that I couldn't end it the way I wanted to- which is to get every.last.drop.of.fudge.out.of.the.container.

Guess what interwebs!!! The sundae container has RIDGES!!! THE SPOON does NOT fit perfectly in these ridges!!! I scrape, and I scrape, and I scrape those little scallopy mocking ridges, begging, coercing, forcing the tiny streaks of fudgy goodness onto my ill fitting spoon, but I CAN NEVER GET IT ALL. It's annoying. So, I'm asking,pleading, begging Mcdonalds to just put my sundae in a cup next time. A normal, round edged cup. No ridges, no tension, and I get all my fudge. That's all. I told you this blog would be boring.
