loyalty- go "moo" or go home!!

soooo, it turns out that today was Cow Appreciation Day, celebrated across this grand nation at all participating Chick-Fil-A restaurants.   i'm not sure how my day would have changed if i had been clued into this before hand.  i had previously been planning on eating there last night with a friend who had a last minute conflict.  so this morning when the roommate came down and immediately stated she wanted Chick-Fil-A for lunch, the craving expanded from the size of a lima bean to that of a hammerhead shark.  we drove over there only to find that the traffic patterns for the entire city had reorganized into one-way streets, every last one of them pointing straight towards the home of the chicken sandwich.  if we hadn't been so hungry, i would have sat back and wondered at the marvel of it all.  but we were starving, so we parked across the street, scrambled across and learned in 5 seconds that it was "Dress like cow, git free chikin" Day.  if you thought the drive-through line was crazy, how about seeing dozens of children all dressed up as cows, in some sort of fashion, many of them accompanied by parents and teachers sporting ears, spots, udders, and big clanging bells around their necks.  by some miracle we both got food and a table indoors, watching this phenomenon with wonder.  i'd be curious to find out how much they paid those workers to dress up as princess cow and sporty-cool-masculine cow, shaking hands and waving.   the whole excursion was an adventure, and i'm totally not feeling guilty at all for giving in to a craving.  some things i just won't debate.  when i need Chick-Fil-A, it's going to happen one way or another.  same thing goes for the animal crackers and ice cream- if you're around me, your life will go easier too :P 

that place has been very good to us Union students, and it's incredibly fun just to see the response from the whole community- just to get a free chicken sandwich.      i'd do it if i'd only known…

it's no longer Cow Appreciation Day...i've been up way too late.  good thing it's a saturday now, roomies are gone, and i don't have to go to bed at a responsible hour until...Sunday, actually.  after that i shall be joining the realm of responsible American working force.  FYI, i still plan on keeping  my Legos and Play-Doh.  and my cow's gonna beat out your cow next time :)
