The scene: On our way back from my echocardiogram/chest x-ray bonanza, another beyoooootiful doctor’s office to experience. (Since when do doctors have offices that look like hotel lounges anyway? Seriously! Can I live here?)
We spontaneously stop by FeelGoods Café for a super-healthy, preservative-free Sweet Potato Spinach Edgy Burger / Salad Combo with roasted sesame dressing.
Healthy + Yum = Perfection.
On my way out, I attempt to ignore the little shelf of muffins and cookies which are yelling, “Col, Col! YO!”
Our eyes meet. I love a good muffin. I keep walking.
Driving home, Gary declares his intention to pit-stop at the convenience store for a cup’a joe. Um, hang on a sec there, bud—If I remember correctly, you gave up coffee weeks ago! (I remind him playfully.)
Of course he can do absolutely whatever he wants to do but a supportive girlfriend is required to at least remind you before letting you do absolutely whatever you want to do, right? Didn’t I read that in the rule book?
In exchange (I’m told) I can have something I’ve got a hankering for too … that should make it even, says he.
Hmm, this just might work.
Well, I haven’t been having cookies and muffins and ice cream and … the options are endless as a parade of sweet things and bread-like things swim before my goo-goo eyes.
He teases me, “Maybe you shouldn’t. What do you think?”
Maybe I shouldn’t, I don’t know. But I really wanna!
We arrive. Go time. I’ll wait in the car.
Gary: “Where’s my wallet?”
Me: (holding it up) “Here!”
Gary: (continuing around back to the trunk) “Where?”
Me: (moving it in the window towards the back) “Here, right here!”
Gary: (opening up the trunk) “What?”
Me: (smushing the wallet against the back window) “Here, here!”
Suddenly, in the side window, up pops Gary’s monster-grin next to this big muffin. “I got you a muffin! It’s gluten-free! I hid it in the trunk!”
I love this guy.
