Whoops.

Most of the time Rachel is a really positive influence on my life. She keeps me from getting too anxious about teaching, grad school and the state of my life in general. This comes in handy because sometimes I get a little stressed out.


Sometimes Rachel is not a good influence. Like tonight when we went to Chick-Fil-A even though we are trying to be healthy eaters. Here are reasons that we used to justify eating chicken at the happiest place in Fairfax County.

1. I drove over an hour to and from my grad school meeting in Chantilly.
2. It was raining.
3. Amy and her baby live practically right next door. And we were visiting.
   
4. The people there are so nice.
5. Sol went out to dinner.
6. We haven't eaten there this week recently.
7. We like it. A lot.

It was probably worth it. It's so happy. Does it help that I ate my charbroiled chicken sandwich on a whole wheat bun?
