Eat.

Today I ate.

I am going to celebrate the food that I consumed:

Greek yogurt and trek mix granola from Trader Joe's
Lay's Limon chips
Potato burrito from El Zarape.

I probably wouldn't have eaten the burrito except that Patrick texted me, "What do you want most in the world?" and as I thought about it, I realized that the thing I wanted most in the world was for someone to give me free dinner.

I thought it was funny that if I wanted dinner more than anything in the world, why wasn't I getting myself dinner instead of reading Into the Wild?

But it's probably because I have recently been feeling very poor. I think it is in the air, because of the holidays. Even though I am pretty sure that I have money, I have been afraid to look in my bank account and see just precisely how much I spent on lavish Christmas gifting. This might not be a real explanation, but it seems to have some validity.

Fortunately, the thing Patrick wanted most in the world was to hang out with me, so he brought me free dinner. Sometimes, days do end with happily ever after (until next time).
