Okay, we are on the eve of cheat day doing the one thing you should NOT be doing while hungry...GROCERY SHOPPING!!! We are not talking about being hungry because you forgot to eat lunch. We're talking about being an obsessed, crazed, mouth drooling, eyes popping out of your head, monster that's dragging it's knuckles on the ground, kind of hungry. We push our cart down each aisle like we are on that old game show"Supermarket Sweep", grabbing things off the shelves that we can't wait to chow down on on Monday (our cheat day). Jenn even goes as far as to hold the box of Kraft Easy Mac & Cheese up over her head like a scene out of the "Lion King". You know, the one where Rafiki lifts Simba into the air with Mufasa and Sarabi looking on. Meanwhile, Richelle is doing the happy dance & "nodding her head like yeah, moving her hips like yeah" as she tosses in a can of Pringles Extreme Pickle chips. We are lost in out own little cheat world not giving a damn that people are looking at us like we are completely nuts because hey, at this very moment WE ARE NUTS!!! We are a giant sized Almond Joy. Once our cart is overflowing with cheat day goodies we head to check out and realize there's no way we can possibly eat all of this crap in 24 hrs. - it's just not feasible; but after a quick pep talk, trying to justify our purchases, we agree that we can save whatever we don't eat for next weeks cheat day. After loading up the car, we drive out of the parking lot excitedly discussing what foods we will rip open and eat first and then decide that we must calm ourselves down. After all, we still have 24 hours to go before we can actually eat all of this stuff, so we need to get our minds back on track. We need to reel our inner cheat monster back inside and get a hold of ourselves. So for now the cheat monster is subdued as the drool on the side of our mouths dries up.
