pros and cons. my breakfast

this morning for breakfast i ate fat free vanilla yogurt with a chopped up banana.

pros:
1. it smelled and tasted like marshmallows. which is one of my favorite foods


cons:
1. it smelled and tasted like marshmallows. it should have smelled and tasted like vanilla yogurt and bananas. it was kind of weird.


outcome: it's a draw!*



*this is the first draw in pros and cons history. apparently eating vanilla yogurt with bananas for breakfast** is just as good as not eating them for breakfast.

**yay bananas!

fish hooking

when i was in my youth, i held a job at costco. i worked as a receipt checker with a fabulous team of young adults and mentally challenged elderly folk. although double checking long receipts with a highlighter was rewarding, the best part of my job was a customer named arbit adams. i didn't know much about him, none of us did. i haven't seen arbit in some years, but i still think about him from time to time. and wonder how many prostitutes are dead in his basement.

where are you arbit?
