The Attack of The Killer Food

So, I tried an Angry Whopper today. I've got to say, I wasn't impressed. It didn't seem all that angry to me. Maybe slightly irritated. Just a tad cheesed off. (HAH! Punny!) It was more like the kind of annoyed you get when there's someone slow walking in front of you and you've got somewhere to be. Not somewhere you HAVE TO BE RIGHT NOW, but maybe a lunch date that you're a minute or two late for, and the person you're meeting is certain to bring up that THEY were there on time, where were you? And how you're always late for every little thing, and you just really don't want to deal with that.

That kind of irritated.

Anyway. It was a burger. And it didn't really have that much kick to it. So. Another product that doesn't live up to the advertizing.

So, Peyt, Chuck and I went to a playdate dinner tonight with some friends I've known since before we all had kids. It was fun to see everyone again--it's been hard to get us all together now that our families have grown past one kid each and said kids have grown into little hellions. OK, not ALL of them are little hellions. Mostly mine. At any rate, we got together, had some grub, corralled some kids and fed them and then had some margaritas and brownies. And talked, and held babies and met new babies and just had a good time in general. I wish we could get together more often, but working around school schedules (both kids and grownups), work schedules and travel schedules proved to be problematic!

Everyone has changed so much! The little babies I held while their Mom grabbed a drink or hit the potty have now become preschoolers. The toddlers I watched take some of their first wobbly steps have become Kindergardners--and some have brand new brothers and sisters who are starting to take THEIR first steps! It's fun to see how everyone has changed...but sad, too. We're all growing up and for most of us, growing apart.

That happens when you have kids. Your kids get lives of their own, and that necessarily takes you away from your adult friends. Fortunately, we're going to be in the same school with some of our friends, so we'll see them often, but it's tough to keep in touch with the friends you love when their kids take them in an opposite direction!
