Hardee's is my new McDonalds...

Okay, so I had planned on blogging about this yesterday but time got away from me. I'm still riding on my Hardee's high though and wanted to share.

I had been craving Hardee's cinnamon n' raisin biscuits since the weekend...matter of fact, I even drove there over the weekend all to realize I didn't have my wallet on me. The sucky thing about Hardee's is that it's 30 minutes away but yesterday, I decided that I needed to fulfill my original goal of getting those biscuits...so I loaded the kids up and off we went.

I should mention that I'm "on a diet." My husband might tell you that my being on a diet is about as successful as him waking up early. (He often claims he's going to just put off doing work at night because he's going to "wake up early" and get it done...in his defense, if it's super important, he will make it happen but more often than not, they are just good intentions...he's not a morning person if he doesn't have to be...) So back to my diet...on the drive there, I'm telling myself that I'm ONLY going to get two biscuits...because I looked up the calories and it would only be 560 calories with 24 grams of fat...that didn't sound half bad to me considering if I got my usual McDonalds meal, it'd be well over a thousand...so I'm telling myself I'm just going to get those...and I'll get the kids some chicken and fries. Seemingly, this drive is lasting F-O-R-E-V-E-R...like how far is Faribault anyway? Pretty damn far when you've been craving some cinnamon n' raisin biscuits for 5 days...so we finally get there and Ayris wants to eat inside...this seems feasible considering they've both been behaving for the past 30 minutes...once we get inside, it plays out a little differently than it had in my head:

Worker: Can I help you?
Me: Yeah, I'll take a chicken strip kids meal with the fries and a coke and then...hmm...well what's the difference between your Little Thickburger and your 1/3 pound cheeseburger cuz they look the same in the picture?

I must say, at this point, I am ONLY getting some type of burger and my two biscuits.

Worker: Oh, they are actually the same thing...have all the same fixin's but one is 1/4 pounder and one is a 1/3 pounder.
Me: Mmmm....Okkkaaaayyyy...I'll have the Little Thickburger.
Worker: Did you want the combo meal?
Me: SURE!

I mean, really, I did get the SMALLER burger so that made up the difference for the fries and a coke...it's logical right?

Me: OH! And two of your cinnamon n' raisin biscuits please! =)

Seriously though, after an hour long drive, I probably burned it all off right? And when you count the other hour I wasted on Saturday, that's two hours of drive time I put into that Hardee's meal.

It was worth it though...I'm half considering moving to Faribault just so I can have a Hardees close by.
