every now and then, i get an odd craving for something i haven't had in a long time. my cravings usually lean toward the sweet variety, so it's a rare day that i want something salty. i also don't keep junkfood in the house, so satisfying a craving usually involves a random trip to the store.
this morning i woke up wanting cheetos. i had dreamt about them (don't ask me why), so even after i had tried all morning to push them out of my mind, all my eyes could see were orange. i hadn't had cheetos in several years. i couldn't remember the last time i had had cheetos. i had to get my hands on a bag of frickin cheetos.
the minute i left the house, i drove to wawa.
once inside, i made a beeline for the snack aisle. cheese curls, nah. not today. oh! there they were, in a giant bag though -- nevermind, not the puffs. i wanted the crunchy kind, the bright orangey, powdery, fake-cheesy goodness. i vigorously scanned the shelves. what kind of wawa was this? aha! i spotted the tiger i was looking for. the one with the sunglasses.
i grabbed a bag and contemplated about getting another, but knew i'd only need the one.
in the car, i enjoyed every single morsel, down to the very last crumb, and then shamelessly licked the orangey powder off my fingers.
it's funny how cravings go, at least for me -- once satisfied, they're dissipated -- just as quickly as they've come.
