The Perfect Example

[susandennis]

2003: Well, having had my heart set on the deli's California rolls for lunch (and saving this one day to actually buy lunch since my current budget tightening has me bringing lunch from home these days), I get there and they said that today was 'too slow' to make them!!! Fuck. So I got their breaded chicken fillet and macaroni and cheese. A very very poor substitute. Who the hell puts dill in macaroni and cheese????

2004: I decided to splurge today and buy lunch at the deli - the aforementioned California rolls. But, as luck would have it, they decided not to do them today cause they knew it would be a slow day. So I got a chance to try one of their other Wednesday specials. It's a breaded chicken fillet thing with mac and cheese that always looked tempting. It wasn't terrible but at least now I won't be tempted any more!

See? I can do it. As Jamie Oliver would say... Easy Peasy!

I choose the 2003 version, the 2004 version is too bland. Dill? Mustard perhaps, but not dill!

Mmm, food, all I've had today is half a cup of tea and a 50 mile drive.

You know, you may be right... oh dear. I thought New Year's resolutions were supposed to last more than an hour... or at least carry you into the actual New Year... sigh.

Mustard yes, with a dollop of sour cream... Ok, not nice for the man who's had nothing to eat all day!

Yup, direct is good. Of course I'm a northerner; "I speak as I find" would be the Yorkshire version but I'm from further north than that. Tell them how it is, don't candy coat it.

Ok, ok, enough! I'm heading for... erm... there's nowhere near here I feel like eating. At least nothing could make me eat at MacDonalds.

Happy New Year.

Now that you know you can do it and it's a piece of cake you can go back to being yourself. That's always the best way to go.

Happy 2004, may it bring you all you desire.

Personally, I like the 2003 version better. :-)

It's actually what I consider to be "you" - granted, I understand that you may not like it now, but it seems to me to be patently Susan Dennis and to change means that you aren't being you anymore. I could be waaaaaay off base though, and I apologize if I am.

And Dill in Mac & Cheese? EWwwwwwwwwwwwww...the place where I work puts Dill in their Tuna, and I can't stand that. Dill has a very specific place in my mind, and it's Dill Pickles or pickling spice. :-)

Take care and have a wonderful New Year!

No appology needed at all! I think you are 100% right on both your take on the 2003 me and on the whole dill thing. I have seen the error of my ways and will stray no more until the next time.

Happy New Year to you, too! And thanks for all your great comments. Keep 'em coming - it's obvious that I need them!!!!
