To crave, perchance to eat

Pregnancy cravings ain't no joke. In the last few months, I've discovered that if I don't satisfy a craving, it doesn't go away; it lies in wait. So here's the problem: The last time I craved McDonald's fries was more than a month ago. So I got some fries. It's a cheap enough craving, right? So why am I still craving those same fast food fries (even after seeing how long it takes them to decompose in Super Size Me)? McDonald's has changed their fries. They took out the transfat (and flavor) to make this side healthy. Healthy apparently equals gross. The fries I had were awful even though fresh and salted. Ick. I wonder if I can petition Ronald McDonald to sell the transfat fries to anyone who specifically requests them. If not, I fear my craving will nevah go away. Argh.


On a completely unrelated note, Andrew (aka Dashing Dunny) and I attended Infant CPR class last night. You know, just in case we ever need it. We both found the class very informative, especially since CPR and choking steps have changed since the last time either of us took CPR. My question, dear readers, is this: When did manikin become an acceptable spelling of mannequin? Seriously. Do we have to Americanize EVERYTHING?

And - more importantly - what about the fact that "q" is on the endangered letters list? If we keep taking qs out of words and replacing them with cs and ks, the "q" will soon cease to exist. And then where will my name be? How will we eat quiche? Can we still be quixotic? We must take action, faithful readers, and we must take it now.

this is a quintessential Querida post ;-) you could have a child and name them Quinton the 1st and then he'd had to have a Quinton Jr. and he'd had to have a Quinton the III and so forth to preserve the letter q.

I'm sorry about the french fries. I can become a transfat activist if you'd like.
:-) oh - and I LOVE YOU!
