Because We All Do It

Either because we're cheap or because we're trying to watch our caloric intake, nearly everyone in our extended family has ordered water with a slice of lemon at a restaurant.

This changes that for me. Keep in mind that I tend to over-react, or so I'm told. I also exaggerate. And I diligently follow nearly all rules and heed all warnings to the nth degree. Those traits can be exasperating to those I love, I know.

Still, this is just yucky.

Don't watch it if you're eating, or have recently eaten. Or if you plan to eat out any time soon.



Good gravy, Pete!! (Got that saying from my good friend Melanie in Texas. I still say it eight years after hearing her say it.)

What's wrong with people?!

Wash your hands when you go to the bathroom. Don't cut meats in the same place that you cut other foods.

How hard is that?

If Bruce sees this, he'll never take me out to eat on our date night. He's already completely convinced that all restaurants, and all their employees, and nearly all people who eat at any given restaurant are gross.

Maybe he's right.

He loves it when I say that.

GROSS!!! I have been counting calories and trying to drink water instead of soft drinks. . . especially when we go out. . .YUCK! I don't use lemon very often, because I hate to get a seed in my straw (One of my many OCD tendencies) but James gets lemon ALL the time!!! I will have to show him this one. . .

Tanja...you are hilarious!!! I quit worrying about all this stuff the first day I started working in the public eye from my days at Pals to my days waiting tables. Face it the people aren't clean and no matter what the restaurants policies are, you can't change people's individual hygiene patterns. I don't really think we are going to die from it though. :o) Like I have always said the cleanest place you can be is in your own home!

I really shouldn't have read this before mine and Duffer's date night tonight!!! HA! I hope your date night goes well also!! ;)
