The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

I have a confession to make. I have taken up stalking. This is no small feat I tell you, as I am not the most subtle person. But, this new obsession of mine has become a little absurd.

I drive by first thing before work and after work and as I drive by I murmer “open, open, open” (just like the Mervyns commercials of old).  I give Hubby daily updates. I think he thinks I am crazy. I talk to the construction workers to get the inside scoop. They humor me.  And then I doze off dreaming of downing that nice, tasty beverage and I get EXCITED.

I have never really been much of a stalker, but when I set my mind upon wanting something, it does tend to overtake my system. Especially, when it comes to food. And especially when you live in such a SMALL town that they don’t have half the foods you are craving or wanting. But in this case, a familiar food joint was on the up and up and my stomach overtook my brain. I became a stalker.

And then….I saw it…the sign:

Opening Feb. 8th. SONIC! WOO HOO.

Is it sad stuff like this that makes my day? Well, I don’t care. I will be in line with the best of them, ordering my Cherry Limeaide!

mmmmm

Or so I thought when Hubby and I entered the cactus-on-the-doors Mexican restaurant last Sunday. Little did I know my craving for Mexican food in the Land of Far, Far Away would soon be squelched by their inability to even make a tasty fajita.

Sad days…no Jersey Mike’s in close proximities and no Mexican food? What HAVE we come too?

Me to Hubby: We have to stop! I NEED mexican food.

Hubby: I don’t think it will be very good out here…not what you are used to!

Me: How bad could it be? There are cacti on the doors? Awww feels like home!

Hubby: Ok, but I am not sure about this….

Me: It HAS to be good, even the waiter has an accent! It’s authentic!

Hubby: I wouldn’t be so sure….

Me: I am having fajitas…I am craving them.

Out come our fajitas….

Hubby: How is it?

Me: Not good…it’s like they didn’t season the meat.

Hubby: See I TOLD you!

Me: WHY did you make me move here? NO good food, higher prices on alcohol, AND people talk funny…..I miss HOME!
