Sooooo, I did it!! I beat the evil fryer and its band of delicious salty temptations. You couldn't believe how difficult it was. Not only was I constantly being offered fried foods all evening, when youre around food period, trying to resist the urge to eat is rather like sitting there having your nails pulled off one by kne.A bit graphic perhaps, definitely a dramatic interpretation, but hey...its me we're talking about here.
Anywho, to add to the growing difficulty of this evening's battle, I happened to have drank an energy drink which, as many of you probably don't know, gives me the hardcore shakes and jitters due to the excess sugar and caffeine in my system. Kind of like getting high for a junkie. However, with mine, utcan sometimes make it impossible to operate as my hands appear like an addicts who's going through withdrawals.
So why, might you ask, do I continue to drink these drinks if the cause such reactions???? Good question. Several answers come to mind: 1)They taste amazing, 2) they do give me a slight energy boost or 3) I'm just stupid and like looking like I need a fix. No matter what reason (my bet is on one or three :-p) the only way to make it stop is to eat something heavy or starchy like bread, popcorn, or fried foods to soak up the caffeine/sugar in my stomach.
As I sat there shaking and barely able to hold a pen, I had several well intentioned people continually offering and trying to make me eat something. As much as I wanted to, I resisted. The only slightly evil intake of the evening was shortbread cookies that one of my males made me eat. Seeing as I cant resist Dimples, it was my only bad mistep.
All in all, this battle was won, despite the uphill fight I had to endure against the hoards of mozzarella sticks, delicious chicken tenders, and oh so yummy curly fries. I have just one message to the devious fryer that has made it its life mission to sabotage me....Suck it! Taste the Defeat!!!!!
"one of my males"...ha ha! I love it.
