Well this Saturday began like most others; my phone starts playing some mildly obnoxious music and about 15 minutes later my alarm clock actually goes off. I have a half-theory in my head that it isn't all about when you wake up but rather how. When I was back home my wake-up routine consisted of my cat coming in at 0530 on the dot and prowling around my room for 20 minutes or staring intently at the neighbors toy-strewn yard through my window before deciding that my peaceful sleeping face would make the absolute perfect place to sprawl out and take a nap. He soon realized (or maybe it was his plan all along) that the shock of waking up with a mouthful of fur and cat belly would make me wake up and feed him. I pity my parents these days.

Anyway, back to this Saturday. So I went out for a run, did my normal workout, showered, ate breakfast, and headed off to work. Around noon I was out running errands and buying some stuff when all of a sudden I felt a bunch of cravings all at once. I walked down the candy aisle and wanted 2 of EVERYTHING! I stopped and took a moment to gather my strength and moved on. I went down the next aisle and was suddenly filled with the thought that protein shakes were the whole reason I got out of bed today. And finally, in a hunger-driven daze I wandered down one more aisle which happened to be full of instant Chinese food and I just about ran out the door screaming before I managed to get control of myself.

2 hours later I'm sitting at my desk at work with a shopping bag full of instant Chinese food and I just found out that they're having lasagna for lunch! Why is life so difficult that I'm forced to choose between the two? Woe is me!

Not everything is a tough decision for me today though. My MP3 player is on random and just went from Vivaldi to ZZ Top and it felt...right.
