Place: McDonald's
Lunch: Big Mac, fries, Hi-C Orange
Sometimes you just gotta have a Big Mac. Even if it costs a buck forty more than it should.
Here's my weekend in a nutshell:
Friday 5pm - Leave work and drive to Peoria in snow and crap. Pick up dinner at Steak n Shake drive-thru along the way.
Saturday 8am - Leave Peoria, Dunkin' Donuts white hot chocolate in hand.
Saturday 11am - Lunch at Schroeder's in Danville.
Saturday 4pm - Arrive Cincinnati.
Saturday 5:30pm - Arrive at Arnold's Bar & Grill (the oldest bar in Cincinnati, apparently) for dinner with 40 fellow members of the message board of the band we are seeing tonight.
Saturday 7:20pm - Arnold's FINALLY serves dinner. I have lasagna. It's cold. Not lukewarm...not room temperature...COLD.
Saturday 8pm - Arrive at Taft for Over the Rhine homecoming show. Buy beautiful poster done exclusively for this show.
Saturday 11pm - Depart Taft. GPS gets confused and sends me on a wild goose chase trying to get back across the river. A trip that should take five minutes takes twenty. I can drive to downtown blindfolded, no problem, but can never get back out without some ridiculous winding route through timbuck two.
Saturday 11:20pm - SERIOUSLY need soda. Great big freaking huge AM/PM Mini Mart Pepsi acquired.
Sunday 9:45am - Gas tank filled. Great big freaking huge AM/PM Mini Mart Pepsi (yes, a completely different one) acquired. Depart Cincinnati (well, Covington technically, but...)
Sunday 10:45am - Stop at Kroger in Batesville, IN for groceries I can't get at home. Also picked up a bag of Cheetos "Giant White Cheddar Jingle Balls" for no other reason than the amusing suggestive branding.
Sunday 11:15am - Lunch at Skyline Chili in Batesville, IN. Also picked up two LaRosa's pizzas next door to take home and have cold through the week. The car smelled WONDERFUL the whole way home.
Sunday 3:30pm - Have argument with Frowning Counter Guy at Hardee's/Red Burrito in Morton, IL over whether or not "no tomato" means "no salsa" on my tacos.
Sunday 4pm - Weather goes completely to crap between Morton and Galesburg.
Sunday 8:30pm - Arrive home. Cats throw party and have a big fight.
Now I have to find a 19 x 25 frame for the poster. I wonder if World Market would have one.
They couldn't have just made the thing 18 x 24, could they. They had to go with some random odd size.
Downtown Cincinnati is absolutely beautiful at night during the Christmas season. And it's bustling with activity.
Seriously...It's December 21 already?
