I've been really good so far about eating vegetarian until 6 PM, but oh lordy, I almost lost it yesterday. The office-provided lunch was Popeye's fried chicken.  I really, really like their spicy fried chicken. It tastes so good in my mouth, crunch crunch crunch.

Day 5 - 2009 Resolutions - Part 1 Friday afternoon, less than an hour left in the work day.
