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.
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.
