Quick story.
Bryan, Leah, and I went to the mall today and I saw a snack machine with a huge M&M sign so I decided I wanted some peanut M&Ms. The machine didn't show any prices so I plugged in $1, pushed the button, and it asked me for 25 more cents. $1.25? For M&Ms? OK, fine. I plugged in another $1, pushed the button. It says "Please wait." Then spits out my $.75 change. Then says "Please take your snack." But IT NEVER GAVE ME MY SNACK.
I was not about to spend another $1.25 for peanut M&Ms, so I fumed and let it go. We walked a bit further and Bryan spotted one of those stands with a bunch of bubble gum machines. Turns out, there was one with peanut M&Ms. For $.50. So, seriously jonesin' for some peanut M&Ms, I plug in my $.50, turn the crank, and out pops TWO peanut M&Ms. Seriously? OK, now I think the universe is angry with me. I just paid $1.75 for two M&Ms.
We wrap up our mall visit, me frustrated about the whole situation, but whatever, we're headed to Sonic for lunch (a real treat, because there is only one Sonic in Massachusetts, (and it's only been there for just over a year), and it's quite a hike for us). So at Sonic I order my super delicious cheese coney and tots, and because I'm frustrated about the M&Ms, I order a Reese's blast. The person on the other end of the line informs me that the ice cream machine is broken so they can't give me a blast.
At this point Bryan is basically rolling on the floorboards laughing. I am NOT amused.
We head home. On the way we pass a McDonald's. I politely (AHEM) request that my laughing husband stop briefly at McD's so I can get the McDonald's equivalent of a Blast (a McFlurry I think?) and the menu politely informs me that they only carry Oreo and regular M&M McFlurries.
At this point Bryan can barely drive.
Two seconds later he stops at a gas station and I make him go inside and get me some freaking peanut M&Ms, so I don't go postal if the station is out.
I down the M&Ms in the car. Honestly? They're not that great. But hey, I won the war.

you'd think you were preggos or something!
I just ate about half a pint of Haagen Dazs chocolate peanut butter ice cream. Mmmm.
You know there's a Friendly's nearby, right? I'm sure you could get your fix there. No need to trek out to McDonald's.
Amy, I know! That's what I was thinking! But this is one time in my life I am absolutely certain, there is no way! :)
CM, I actually haven't ever been to Friendly's... But we were up north anyway, and just drove by some McDs on the way. And SO jealous of the ice cream!!
I am impressed by your sheer determination. I don't think I've worked for anything that hard before!
