Bait and Switch

Do you guys know that I went to Whole Foods to buy sushi for lunch, and came out of there with CHICKEN FRIED STEAK (totally a whole food)?

Shit like this is the reason people do that Twitter thing, isn't it? OR, I could just keep these types of bulletins to myself (You: please that one please that one).

Wait, am I That Guy? The one who sends out an email to the global address book saying "FYI: there are donuts in the conference room...if anyone's interested" *WINKY EMOTICON*

Over. And out. (MAYBE).

I've wondered about that twitter thing. If I weren't so lazy, I might google it. Though it seems lately I can't get it together for a normal post, so posting things ALL DAY LONG certainly wouldn't happen. I'd just have an empty twitter window in my sidebar.

Oh, I almost forgot - Going in for something healthy and coming out with something not is SO ME.

Stephanie said...

I think about posting thoughts or things ilke these all the time. Like last night for example, someone in my class smelled very strongly like Froot Loops. And I desperately wanted to tell someone. Will investigate Twitter.

Jess said...

I love Whole Foods sushi. Love it. So much. Mmm.

Also, I like these little details. It makes everything so human.

Laura said...

Oh man, and here I thought you meant Twitter...meaning laughter. Lameness lives here, with me. I am the girl that goes to Trader Joes for the Mahi Mahi and comes out $270 later (including 6 boxes of those twisted cheese bread stickes) without one cohesive meal making idea.

I think things like this are why I forgive you the whole healthy marathon running thing. I figure anyone who goes to WF and walks out with chicken fried steak can't be all bad.

artemisia said...

oooooh - that is what Twitter is for! had no idea how that was "useful" or why people were into it...

I still don't get it.

But I did enjoy this window into your day. What does this mean?!?!

I've never been so proud. *sniff*

Dude, chicken fried steak for sushi?

I say score.

Ami said...

I love you.

Christina Schmidt said...

Twitter? Please explain.

Tess said...

WTOW-I've never tried it, so I don't really know, but basically it's like blogging, but just with shorter thoughts, like one or two sentences. People can subscribe to them, or see them in your sidebar or whatever. Twitter is the name of the website, kind of like Blogger.

There's the guy at work who sent, "Lunchmeat in the conference room if you want it"

and I did NOT reply, "You need to work on your pick-up lines"

Because the guy is a douchebag and after I sent a humorous quip we would have been BEST FRIENDS FOREVER and I can't do that without copious vomiting.

Still. Lunchmeat? Conference Room? Want?

It was awesome.

I have never had, to my knowledge, chicken fried anything.

SLynnRo said...

Okay, I am dumb- I thought they gave you the wrong food.

I did not even know that Whole Foods has chicken fried steak.

Tess said...

I didn't either! It was one of the "specials" in the hot food bar area, or whatev. Damn them. They make everything look SO DELICIOUS.

The real problem is, now I KNOW. So I'll go in there for salad and BAM. Chicken fried steak day strikes again.

Swistle said...

If there are doughnuts OR chicken-fried steak in the conference room, I WANT you to be That Guy.

MaryB said...

Chicken fired steak with cream gravy might be Texas's most redeeming quality.

Oh God, I feel dirty and guilty for saying that out loud and for eating it and loving it in the first place. I am supposed to be a food snob and hate Texas...I am a traitor to myself.

SLynnRo said...

No shame Mary, no shame.

And Tessie- their pizza is also excellent. And so are the eggrolls. And the quesadillas.

Whole Foods seems to mostly sell CRAP actually.

Tess said...

Dude. Have you SEEN the "dessert bar"?

Mary O said...

mmmm...dessert bar. I would so be at Whole Foods right now if it wasn't such a pain in the ass to haul around a baby and a toddler.

Sarah said...

All I can say is, where the heck is my Whole Foods? All we get is Wal-Fart and Meijer. I am BUMMING HARD.

Anonymous said...

I'm on the fence about Twitter. I figure if I can't stretch some stupid, mundane detail into at least 6 paragraphs, what kind of writer am I?

Also, they have been promising a Whole Foods 1000 feet from my office for TWO YEARS now and I am losing patience.

Emily said...

Oh my gosh, there is a giant billboard on the freeway with a huge chicken fried steak, gravy, and french fries on it. Every time I drive past I think how I have to have it. But seriously, I never would have guessed Whole Foods would have it.

Luckily the weather here is complete and total crap or I'd be walking to Whole Foods right now for some chicken fried steak or whatever else looked good (so the whole store then). The one near my office has an Indian Food bar as well. Just another reason I have to work out, stuff like substituting chicken fried steak for sushi happens to me all the time.

the new girl said...

I so don't get twitter. I really don't get it. I feel like my dad with a cell phone.

Marie Green said...

Oh, Whole Foods, how I long for an affair with you. Fucking SuperWalmart. That's all we have around here.

Nic (NotPerfect) said...

I happen to enjoy that you bought the steak instead of the sushi because it's something I've done before.

Shelly said...

I do that *ALL THE TIME*!!! The other day at lunch I went to a specific restaurant intending to order a turkey club sandwich. Then both my friends ordered burgers. So what did I do? I ordered a burger, of course! ARGH!

The Ex said...

Bwahaha. Don't you DARE keep these bulletins to yourself. I can't fucking stand twitter but that is another point all together.

stacie d said...

When we get global emails from "That Guy" at my company, they'll say "There's pizza on the 8th floor, help yourself." Problem is, that's in New York & I'm in LA...where there are only 6 floors & no pizza anywhere.

(Hi! I came to your blog through Whimsy's...and I'll be back!)
