ME Upper-Wednesday

A day late in posting. Yesterday, in ddition to my stuff I had some clients and some errands to run. I am starting a new diet and had some last minute shopping to do. As I was navigating "Hell in Greene County" otherwise known as Wal-Mart, I thought to myself, self, you should treat yourself before this diet begins. But I could not find anything to whet my palet. Until suddenly, I was overcome with the urge for some Ho-Ho's. A throwback to my youth when visiting my grandma my brother and I were bestowed with snack cakes. And this was when Ho-Ho's and King Dongs were wrapped in foil! Ah youth. Anyway, I found a substandard Little Debbie substitute and spent the rest of my time running errands, snacking on a box of Ho-Ho's lying on the front seat of my truck. (Ate all but two in case anyone was curious).

"And now for the rest of our show!"
