Soup

You know your day is off to a good start when:

1. You sleep in until 11 a.m., even though you did not turn off the ringer on your phone but, miraculously, no telemarketers have called! (OK, so I am a little slow about getting on that Do Not Call list.)

2. You wake up with an odd craving for a really good burger because you dreamt about one — in spite of the illicit dream an old girlfriend was hoping you would have (uhm, do not ask). After debating your options — a cheeseburger and a medium Coke from Mickey D’s ’cause that is just about all I have cash for at this instant, or a mini-road trip to the nearest Choke ’n’ Puke, which would necessitate a visit to the ATM and most likely result in a stop at a nearby mall to look at frames and end up spending even more money that I really shouldn’t be spending — you remember grabbing a can of Chunky Sirloin Burger soup on your way out of Wally World the other night.

Mmmmm, mmmmm good!

: )

Of course, the discovery would have been even more perfect-er had my favorite bowl not already had something else in it. Fortunately, I have other bowls.

Oh, no: Confusion! A phone call from Le Lovely, offering me leftover pizza from last night’s trip to my favorite restaurant (without me!) ... so now, a quandary: Warm up some soup now and have pizza later, or eat the pizza now, have the soup whenever?

It’s not like I’ve even opened the can yet ...

OK. Pizza it is.
