hold me back, hold me back!

i'm halfway through my first night shift (12 hours total); bear with me if this seems incomprehensible.

okay, for someone whose personal trainer enourages to eat subway sandwiches regularly (more on that in a bit), i became aware of some exciting news today.

for a limited time, of course, subway is offering up ALL of their sandwiches for the $5 footlong special. meatball, cold cut combo, whatever your little heart desires, it now only costs you five bucks!

the sandwich artist who concocted my typical chicken breast/swiss/spinach/tomato/cucumber/bit o' ranch on honey oat made a really solid effort to convince me to try something else. something else that dan the trainer probably wouldn't see as a "good choice." i wavered for a minute or so between getting the chicken or switchin' it up to turkey.

i'm not a big "lunchmeat" person as it is, so i pretty much stick to a routine in that department. ham was out of the question as i only ever will eat it during easter, and then only if my chef mother is the one who made it, because she does something to it that makes it less "hammy," if that's possible. roast beef should be enjoyed in a hot french dip with au jus, never cold. i'll stop there.

inevitably, i stuck to the usual and was grateful when the sandwich artist agreed to wrap the two halves separately. one for now, one for during work.

oh, and a diet coke, please. i need all the caffeine i can get. but no cookies, thanks.

anyway, dan says subway is very good for you. of course, we've all seen the success of jared the subway man, but i can't fathom eating it every single day. wretched thought.

he redeemed himself when he also offered up burrito bols from chipotle and naked burritos from qdoba (minus cheese and sour cream, obviously). now those i could maybe stomach a few times a week.

maybe.
