Craving

I had my first craving.

I felt the need for candy. Not just any candy. Fruity, gummy candy. 

After lunch I went and grabbed 2 dollars. Intending to go the the vending machine and get some skittles or starbursts. Mmmmm. 

But I was thwarted. Apparently, whoever make the decisions on what to stock is a chocolate lover. The best there was, was red vines, fruit snacks or gum. P & I decided to check another floor. No success. Same crappy chocolate filled snacks. 

We decided to go to the cafeteria. We had only a couple minutes to spare so we went down, and snuck in just under the wire. Not that it did any good. Apparently the person that makes decisions on candy selection the likes chocolate better too...

With 2 dollars in my hand, and P with keys in her pocket it was decided that it was a dire enough situation to go down the road to Arco (why not? the alternative would be actually working. lame).

We were headed down the road, when P realized she only had her keys. No wallet. Oops! Luckily, it was only 1/2 mile away. We figured we would be worth the risk. 

The thought of blue tropical skittles made me drool. I love the yellow ones. Plus, they are one of the best flavors to mix & match the colors to make delicious flavor combos (and it takes me WAY back to the days of church camp & getting my two packs of skittles- one purple, one blue - a day from the Canteen). 

Fate was not on my side though. Despite the huge selection. The one thing absent was blue skittles. That left a hard decision. What would give me the most bang for my bucks & the most satisfaction. After staring and drooling & wishing I had more dollars, I decided I would get the purple skittles instead (still have the ability to mix & match, unlike regular). 

Purchase in hand, we headed back down the road. We tried decide the best flavor combos (red & blue or pink & green) and agreed that purple is only OK (and is really not very good on its own at all but decent when properly paired). 

Then we sat in the parking lot until the bag was empty. Cuz, parking lots are better than work. Even if you are in the work parking lot.
