Happy Monday, yet again

October 29, 2007 · Posted in Life · 1 Comment

As a general rule, I hate Mondays and I hate mornings. Now when you combine the two that doesn’t make them better, it just makes it that much worse!

It was a very strange weekend and seemingly short also. I found out on Thursday that a friend of mine had passed away from cancer the week prior. I spent most of the weekend coming to terms with that. It hasn’t been easy but I am confident that he is with God now so all I can do is wait to join him.

It really brought the whole mortality thing home for me since he was younger than I am and didn’t smoke as much as I do. He was a pretty cool guy and he will be missed. I only wish I had had a chance to see him before he was gone.

Alright, back to that early morning thing. I don’t like ‘em so I am going back to bed now for a bit!

I just didn’t have the time to put into it this week. It has been crazy around here and with the girls on fall break that makes it all the crazier!

Fry Day will be back next week for sure. I already have a place picked out and I am ready!

It’s parent-teacher conference time. I am sitting here trying to psych myself up for this. I never feel comfortable when I am there. I always feel like I did when I was in school and getting in trouble!

I do my very best to look attentive but I usually end up looking fidgety and nervous, I can’t help it though. It seems like every conference in my life has been a bad thing and now that they are for the girls I have been conditioned!

This does not bode well for anyone!

This may be the biggest downer so far…

Franklin, IN
Time of day: 12:57pm

All ratings except hot are a 1-10 scale. Hot is how long they remain warm.

Taste: 3

Crispiness: 1
Hot: 14 minutes
Quantity: (Stated 125g) (Actual 139g)

Value: $.0114388 per gram

This is one of those experiences that went downhill quickly and viciously!

It started out well enough. The appearance of the fries was quite pleasant. I was actually looking forward to digging into them. The color was nice, they smelled good. I just didn’t notice the shine!

These fries were very very greasy and not in a good way. It was visible on the packaging and all over my fingers after eating just one. I did not know a fry could hold twice it’s weight in grease but I do now!

The spicing on the fries was good, in other words you could taste it. But what kept overbearing everything else was the taste of grease. They tasted just like the grease smells, yuck! Sadly, I had to stop eating them well before they were gone as I just couldn’t take the greasiness anymore. I may have to go get my arteries roto rootered out after this!

Conclusion, well I used to like Arby’s fries but I think this experience will change that forever!

How about a couple of photos of the artery cloggers:

Note the grease stains on the box!
