Blizzards: The Very Best of Inclement Weather

There were a number of places I went this weekend that were against my better judgment. Among them was the Dairy Queen, with Brad and Rachel on Friday night. After considering all of my options, I ordered a Girl Scout Thin Mint Blizzard from the girl behind the counter.

"Oh, this is great," I told her. "It might even be better than the Pumpkin Pie Blizzard."

She was excited. "I was wondering if you were going to have the Pumpkin Pie again, " she said, with a twinkle in her eye. "I was going to ask if you wanted it...but I didn't want your friends to know that you had been here by yourself."

I think the Dairy Queen girl and I understand each other.

It's why I have 32 extra sets of chopsticks in my kitchen drawer

You know how sometimes you order so much Chinese food that they just assume you're ordering for 2 people, but you're totally just ordering for yourself?

I do.
