Friday Confessional: McDonalds misses me

A few days ago Coby asked for McDonalds.  No problem.  Even though I’m avoiding fast food now, I don’t mind picking something up for my kidlet once in a while.  At the drive thru window the sweet McD lady said, "Hey!  Hi!!  I haven't seen you for a while!  Where have you been?" 

What the?  I was not prepared for that.  I felt a brief moment of panic. They know me that well?  (I shouldn't be surprised.  I used to go there a lot.  A LOT.)   Eek.  How embarrassing.  I didn't know what to say.  I didn't want to diss the food to that nice McD lady and I felt shy about explaining the Mambo Project face to face, so I just told her that I'm not as busy at work so I have more time to go home for lunch. 

It’s true.  It’s not the whole truth, but it is definitely one of the truths.  The main truths are that I feel so much better now that I’m not a McD (or Wendys or A&W or Arbys or Taco Time) regular anymore and, quite frankly, I’m enjoying the extra money in our bank account.

  1. Leigh, I don't see a problem with a stretch of the truth. Actually, as nice as the lady is it's really none of her business so if you had to stretch it a bit so what. Like I told you once I still haven't told some people about me. There are some who wouldn't understand why I had to go to such drastic measures to help myself. When I decide to tell them I don't feel I lied just had to stretch the truth a bit.
