Monday

I’ve been out and really needed to eat, I have bypassed my usual favorite places and opted instead for a cheap happy meal.

MDs has been near the bottom of my list for years, BUT, I can get a tiny burger, about 10 fries, a few slices of apple and a milk for about $5.

It’s not a huge meal and I can barely see the beef, but it meets my needs and may be the least offensive menu item for my body. Can’t bring myself to eat McNuggets but the burger (no cheese) is edible and the chocolate milk is an indulgent treat.

I can hold onto the toys until a family gathering with little kids, but a croc keychain might be fun to have!
