So B and I are trying to be good with our money and health in 2008. Preparing for the future and all that grown up talk. Well one of our money and health tactics is to pack a lunch everyday. So far we have both been wonderful! Since New Year’s we have eaten out once. ONCE! And that was Subway! Oh wait, I lied, we did go to Outback one night, but it was a free meal. That doesn’t count. Some of you might not be impressed seeing as how it is only January 9, but I don’t enjoy cooking so this is a feat!
Back to my original point though. Eww. Today I packed a pickle in my lunch and now that is all I can smell. Remind me not to make this mistake again. Pickles should be eaten at home.
The lingering smell of pickles will always remind me of Girl Scout camp. My troop decorated pickle buckets to take on our camping trip. It was a great idea in theory, we would pack our clothes in the bucket, but it also could double as a stool or place to sit around the camp fire. Problem is, I came home with all my clothes smelling like pickles. Eww again.
In case you were wondering what a pickle bucket is, here you go:
I am kind of disgusted by pickles after telling that story. Maybe I better throw the pickle in the trash now.
You sound like Brian! He gets angry (really, truly angry) when people eat pickles in the movie theater. He says that pickles are not a public food.
hehe you said Pickle.
You are being so good! I am impressed at your resolve not to eat out, even if it is very early in the year. Dang restaurants…they are just so tempting. Stick to your guns, girl! (But I agree, free meals don’t count!)
Doing laundry after a camp out wasn’t pleasant either! Not sure which smell was worse—pickles or dirty, wet, pickled clothes.
I am glad you never got pickles when we went out to eat or brought them to work at our last jobs. Pickles make me want to vomit. Just like the dog. Not to mention that they make your lips big.
