No Cupcakes Today

Tonight after work, I went to a fancy grocery store called Fox & Obel with a gift card in hand. Those things really come in handy when you run out of money, since food is really all you need to live and water is free. Anyway, I went there to pick up some tomatoes, fresh basil, and fresh mozzarella to throw on some garlic naan for some experimental pizza. I picked up all of those ingredients, as well as just about peed my pants out of sheer excitement at the veritable array of delicious goodness everywhere I looked. I had only gone into the store a couple of times before, but never really looked around because things are overpriced, and too fancy for everyday shopping. But oh my god, I felt like a kid in the candy store. Afterall, food is one of my top favoritest things in the entire world!! They had so many amazing things, and I ended up picking up a fancy bag of Swiss muesli and a pint of super fancy ice cream that was made out of coconut milk and curry powder for a whopping $6.50. Am I out of my freaking mind spending that much on four servings of ice cream? I think so, but it did taste quite delicious over my warmed up apple crisp. Oh yeah, the pizza I made was good too. That store just spells danger for me. Seriously, no one EVER let me go in there unless I have tons of money to spend or another gift card. I was in heaven.

Oh yeah, and I gave my resignation letter to my boss today. It went over quite well, and everyone seems excited for me. Of course, they is some scurrying to find someone to replace me, so I can start training them on the inner workings of my brain. Unlucky for whoever that may be. Apparently, during the management meeting, my departure was being discussed by the big bosses were speculating about what I was going to be up to during my free time. Someone mentioned drinking Guinness, then another piped up and said "no, she's going to be drinking scotch", and he was shot down by the VP, who stated "I'm pretty sure Cristin will be enjoying the Guinness instead..." and she is quite right. Although, I wouldn't mind a whiskey chased by a Guinness, now that sounds dang good!

Congratulations on pushing your plans forward one more step. The trick to guiness, is that it's great on tap, but it's good in a warm bottle on the beach, too. Mark sure you don't get swindled into a bottle of Guiness 'Draught', since it's like piss-water instead of guiness.
