"28"

Here it comes…
Guess for years I have tried to calm
What’s inside me but something’s wrong
I don’t know what to say
To give me away
The dream’s the same:
I’m alone on a moving train
Wake up here and I can’t complain
And there’s the first mistake
I tried not to make
Next time I’m around that’s a habit to break
When I turn 28
Things are gonna be great at 28
So don’t sit so close
Can’t you see that I’m already yours?
Every day I’ve been living indoors
Tell them I was brave
Tell yourself the same
Tell everyone that I plan to go straight
When I turn 28
Things are gonna be great at 28
They said that I would get used to the change
But I can’t keep my eyes on the page
Shouldn’t be writing these songs at my age
The candle’s lit
Waiting patient for me to sit
But none of last year’s clothes still fit
And I keep waiting for you to enter the room
I made my wish let me give it to you
When I turn 28
Things are gonna be great at 28
At 28, tell everyone they’ll just have to wait
When I turn 29
Things are gonna be fine at 29.

So what’s with all the food posts lately? Easy. I’m planning a beach vacation, trying to get “bathing suit ready.” Ergo, I can’t stop thinking about sugar.

But I digress…

In the Mix cupcakes. Are the best. Better than Sprinkles, better than Dimples, better than any cupcakes in the land. This is subjective, of course–like burgers and pizza, everyone has their own opinion. And in mine, In the Mix: magnifico! Pictured here are my two (current) favorites. Chocolate ganache and lemon. I am also partial to the regular chocolate and the strawberry. And white. And red velvet. Oh, just gimme a cupcake already.

PS: In the Mix has recently been featured as a groupon and living social. But I loved it first, so there.

Smashing!

Burgers twice in one week, you ask? Why, yes. When Boss says he wants Smashburger, who am I to argue? Hee-hee.

Frankly, I could eat at Smashburger every day. I never tire of it. I did, however, switch to chicken a few months ago because I was “Smashing” so often. But, never fear: the chicken is insane. This is how I order it: Grilled, whole grain bun, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles and chiplotle sauce on the side. This combo is killer. KILLER, I say!

However….for the purpose of this blog, today I went back to the Classic Smashburger (Lovingly pictured here, right before I dove in.). Midway through bite number one, I was in taste bud seventh heaven. I’m pretty sure I didn’t stop moaning and mmm-ing for 20 minutes…much to the amusement of Boss and other colleague at the table.

So, what exactly was I doing getting those silly, “healthy” chicken sammies for all those months, those wasted months?? I’ve learned my lesson, I’ll admit it. No more messing around.

Boss got the shredded fried onion ring things–which were very tasty. But I got my usually sweet potato fries. Maybe because I was at Jake’s just yesterday, I was able to compare the spf from the two place. Smashburger kills.

Oh and they have Coke Zero on tap–which is nice for a change sometimes. Sometimes.

Lunch at Jake’s today. A local chain. Cool atmosphere, good service, scrumptious food. I usually get the Jake’s Special or the turkey burger. Today I settled on a single with Swiss and grilled onions. (NOT pictured here–that’s the Special. Oy.)

What makes Jake’s extra special is the poppy seed bun. Sure, they get between your teeth and are a big, huge mess, but you’re a mess anyway because the burgers are so juicy and delicious.

Additionally, the crinkle cut sweet potato fries are extremely tasty. They can be ordered regular or delightfully sprinkled with sugar and cinnamon—which is what I ordered today.

Jake’s has really good Diet Coke, too. The ice is like Sonic’s. I think that says it all.

Heaven help me.

The IT guy two floors down looks just like James Darren. Seriously. Just like him! We passed in the hall a few minutes ago. As our eyes met, I felt on the verge of a very Gidget-esque giggle-and-blush. So I came back to my desk and played this video.

Hmm…I have the feeling my computer might be having a sudden “techical difficulty” very, very soon. Would it be too weird if I asked Moondoogie–I mean IT Guy–to sing for me?

Oh gee. Like, wow!
