A Feat

I’ve had my sofa bed, oh, since eohippi roamed the earth.  Lately it has been sighing when I launch myself upon it from across the room.  Yeah, I don’t do that, but I’m not Thumbelina either.  I surmised the old thing has life in it yet - if it didn’t, it couldn’t sigh. So G (my spouse) and I decided to donate it.  Yippee! G and I cleaned it to a fare-thee-well, and I made arrangements for someone to pick it up.  We were very worried about them getting the sofa out of the house as it’s huge and weighs 1,537.8 pounds.  So the guys show up and they maneuver the thing through our tiny doors with barely a hiccup and THEN.  THEN.  One of the dudes slings the sofa bed over a shoulder and carries it down the steps.  One guy, one shoulder – swear to Artemis, I’m not making this up.  In the words of the immortal guy from television, Holy Crap! Who was that Unmasked Man?

Kit Kats™

 

I’ve always enjoyed Kit Kats but the chocolate-to-crisp ratio was not ideal.  You know what there was not enough of.  (Of which there was not enough?  Screw it.) Then I discovered Kit Kat minis.  There I was in Walgreens, eyes bulging, pulling my hair, trotting in place and making this sound:  “EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEee”.  Gosh all Friday, thank goodness this was only happening in my head! Since my hair is currently 3 inches long, pulling it is particularly painful.  Kit Kats! These mini beauties are the size of a Hershey’s nugget and the choco-crisp ratio is ideal!  Keep them in the fridge.  I’ve found the lettuce drawer provides optimum cool for freshness and chewiness.  The package states that a serving is 9 pieces and there are 5 servings in a package.  My head tilts back and I laugh ha Ha HA as well as one can while one’s mouth contains 4 mini Kit Kats, the tip of the snack iceberg.  But I’m rather proud of myself.  The last couple times I bought them they lasted 3 days!!! This self-denial is akin to wearing a hair shirt.  OK, a really silky hair shirt.  But it’s 93 billion degrees outside, so that would still count as a sacrifice, right?  Yes or no, still easier than eating only 9 mini Kit Kats at one sitting.
