Stupid...

Did you ever get hungry for something and talk yourself out of getting it because you have food at home and can make something but wind up not being able to and then kicking yourself for not just getting what you fucking wanted? That was me, tonight.

I got hungry for a really good, solid cheeseburger. But there's no place in my area of town that offers one. 5 Guys is okay...but not sloppy enough. Opposite of a place called Jim's Steak Out. Last time I got a burger there only half of it remained inside the bun; the rest slid out and around and I had to get a fork to eat it. 

I didn't want McDonald's, Wendy's or Burger King; theirs are so processed. And the nearest Chili's is 5 miles away in evening traffic. I was grumpy driving from the office and didn't want to deal with that. I'd have killed for an In-n-Out #2 meal, animal style, but they aren't in the mid-Atlantic states. So I came home.

Of course, all my hamburger meat is frozen and would have taken too long to thaw. I tried slaking my hunger with half a cantaloupe...but that only made me hungrier. I almost went out again just to hit the Chili's. Their burgers aren't the greatest but they're decent enough. Instead, I wound up making chili mac and cheese. And that was okay.

But I still fucking want a burger.

Maybe I'm pregnant...which would be a miracle in more ways than one...
