Today I went grocery shopping, as I do just about every Monday. Whilst grocery shopping I was overcome with the desire to eat macaroni and cheese. Not good macaroni and cheese, either. I wanted fake, from a box, made with radioactive orange cheese "sauce" powder macaroni and cheese.
This was, at first, rather distressing to me as I have never actually purchased or voluntarily eaten fake, from a box, radioactive orange cheese "sauce" powder macaroni and cheese. Nevertheless, it was all I could think about. Seriously, I was suddenly starving and all I wanted in the whole wide world was fake, from a box, radioactive orange cheese "sauce" powder macaroni and cheese. I gave in. It took 10 minutes to find the fake, from a box, radioactive, orange cheese "sauce" powder macaroni and cheese (did you know that it is not in the pasta aisle? Neither did I. It is in the same aisle as canned vegetables. I do not know why.). When I finally found fake, from a box, radioactive orange cheese "sauce" powder macaroni and cheese I was overcome with indecision. Turns out, there are approximately 10 million different kinds of fake, from a box, radioactive orange cheese "sauce" powder macaroni and cheese. I was positively paralyzed with indecision. Do I buy the 'original' version? The generic version? The organic version? The "whole grain" version? White Chedder? Spiral noodles? WHAT TO DO!??? Finally, I did the only logical thing. I bought 5 different kinds. Trust me, this made perfect sense at the time. Why wouldn't I buy 5 boxes of the macaroni and cheese? Once I returned home, I "cooked" the "original" flavor. The 7 minutes it took for the noodles to boil were the longest 7 minutes in my life. And, may I say, it was the best lunch I've had in quite some time. I had the leftovers for dinner. And now, I am pretty sure I never want to eat fake, from a box, radioactive orange cheese "sauce" powder macaroni and cheese ever again. Do you think the grocery store will take the rest of the boxes back if I explain that the Blob made me do it?
P.S. I mean "Blob" with all the affection an expectant mother can muster. Really, I do. Don't call DCFS.

HAHAHAH! I love it. Keep the boxes, the hankering might over-come you again. But I must say, EW! Powdered mac n chz tastes downright metallic to me, I don't know why. Ew. :) Yay Blob! And when you are feeling extra-affectionate you can refer to him as "Blobby Baby"
You were "Herbie 2" because I looked like a VW bug whilst expecting. The craving I had with you was rice-a-roni (the San Francisco treat-- beef style) I cooked it and ate the whole box. Then threw up and have NEVER eaten it again in,um, 30 years.
You come by it naturally. Although I have never had a craving for the fake mac-n-cheeze
MA
UMMM I LOVED my cravings...Spicy Chicken from Wendy's Sour Patch Kids and Pizza Hut Bread Sticks - Although I must say when I was preg. with Michaela I HAD to have a hot dog (the last time I did that I was 11) and that was soooo good but I haven't had one since and never plan to!!!
So Erin, when do you get to find out the blobs gender????
Hi Anna! We can find out in about 6 weeks, but I don't know if we will...Isaac wants to and I am on the fence, so we'll see!
Oh the pregnancy cravings! They are such a strange thing. I craved baked potatoes and chocolate milk ALL THE TIME! Random, I know. :)
Oh my gosh, Lindsay, I have consumed gallons and gallons (okay, that might be an exageration, but A LOT) of chocolate milk! Love it. Have to have it all the time.
