always on my mind

maybe it's just a woman thing, but i get these cravings in my head that won't go away. for example, the other day i began to notice a soreness in my throat that would have felt much better had it been in contact with a wendy's frostie. the thought of the frostie entered my mind around 9pm, and did only grew in intensity up until through the wendy's drive thru in urbana. hey, wendy's is open late, right? wrong! apparently wendy's is only open late... if they're not CLOSED!! slightly disheartened, i moped my way through the night. tomorrow, perhaps, i will find a wendy's that is open, and i will endulge in my frostie!

the next morning, i felt as though i had been hit by a mac truck. i refuse to call this illness a "cold" due to it's severity, but all medical symptoms point to that diagnosis. i mentally prepared myself to get out of bed at the ungodly time of 10 am, only thinking about how lovely it will be when i get my frostie. oh, so soothing.

that afternoon, i took my little sister shopping, the whole while thinking about the cool refreshing chocolate goodness massaging its way down my throat. i casually mentioned the idea to my sis, at which point we traveled to the wendy's on prospect. my jaws were juicing for this long anticipated dessert. we pull into the drive thru, and see the display has been taken out of the drive thru sign. that, mixed with the lack of vehicles in the parking lot, was a clear indication of their similar closing.

i sat there, in disbelief, waiting for the little speaker to ask me if it could take my order. i just sat there, hoping, pleading, wishing. finally, my little sis said, "um, i think they're closed". i knew. how could i not know. all signs pointed to closed, but my heart could not make the connection. if this wendy's is closed, and the wendy's in urbana is closed.... are we out of wendy's? has phil truly been taking over wendy's $10 at a time?

i have tried everything: sprite, water, ice cream sandwiches, oreos and milk, chocolate chip cookies, tea..... everything! nothing can satisfy this craving for a wendy's frostie. damn you dave thomas.
