Last night I had my first meeting for the camp that I'll be teaching yoga at this summer. It was pretty fun- I met a couple of nice girls and I really started to get excited about working there. I think it's a really good gig for the summer. The meeting however spanned over dinner time- it was from 5:30 to 9, so I had leftover pasta at 4 as a super early bird special. Naturally, when I left the meeting several hours later, I was starving...
On the drive home I decided what I really wanted was a bagel. Nothing fancy, plain or whole wheat, with a nice, thick layer of cream cheese. I pulled into the Dunkin Donuts near my house. The only bakery items left were a couple of sorry looking croissants and some plain stick donuts. No bagels.
I move on down the street a little and pop into Cumberland Farms. Sure enough, they had cream cheese, but no bagels. They had loaves of bread, English muffins, even 100 calorie flats, but no bagels!
At this point it's about quarter to 10 and I simultaneously can't believe I can't find a bagel at this hour and also can't believe I'm trying to get one with such vigor. I finally head further into town to the Star to buy good ol' Philly cream cheese and Thomas's bagels.
Now you may think why didn't I just give up my bagel quest and settle for a snack at home like microwave popcorn or cereal? The answer to that is the complete satisfaction of biting in and experiencing all the creamy deliciousness. Any of you who have craved something and then eaten it know that there is quite no other food experience like that...getting something you truly desire. So the moral of the story is, don't let anything get in the way of you and your snack. I figure, that's one of life's great pleasures.
