I had an unexpected ingredient in my grilled chicken wrap at lunch today. Unexpected is an understatement.Today was kind of hectic. I had to work in the morning for a few hours to take down an event, and then go see my grandmother right after. I knew I'd be at the nursing home with my grams for a LONG time (I've been on grandma watch averaging seven hours a day), so I figured I should stop and grab a bite to eat in between work and going there, even though I wasn't that hungry. There's this place by my house Dante's that has this really good chicken wrap, its the first thing that came to my mind, and it was convenient. I win.
Wrong. I lose. Looks like I got a little more protein than I bargained for. And I don't mean the chicken ...
Leaning in to take a bite ... a piece of lettuce looked like it had....legs. I stopped mid-bite and opened the four legged lettuce leaf. Say hello to my little friend. There was a freaking cockroach in my lunch. "Uhh, excuse me ... can I have the grilled chicken wrap on wheat without the cockroach next time? It gives me gas."
Gimme a break. How do you miss that in the preparation of a customer's lunch. What if I was REALLY hungry and was not paying attention. I would have pounded that insect without even knowing it. El grosso.
Also, just a little side note .... racing home from work to go see my grams today, you'll never guess what happened ......
I got pulled over. Oh, it's only the 40th time this month. I cried and told him that I was going to see my dying grandmother, an excuse he probably hears all too often, but this was no excuse, she is literally on her death bed. So he made me wait 20 minutes and wrote me a warning. (Looks like somebody needs to take a speed writing class. I could have written that warning in 30 seconds flat.)
I should branch out my blog and turn it into a book. My life is way too interesting to be kept hostage on the internet.
By the way ... when are all of these weird days and terrible things happening to me going to be over? It's been 3 weeks and I'm over it. Come on now.
