An Odd, Bad Food Decision/Experience

I've had a number of these lately.

Tonight, after my first 2nd shift experience (3 - 11:30), I got home at 12:00 and was, of course, ravenous. You see, they made me take my dinner break at 5, which was about 3 hours before it should have been. So I was ready to eat just about anything for a midnight snack.

Generally, I decline the Cheerios. They make me burp funny and I'm full for only about 36 minutes after a bowl. But there are some Cheerios on hand due to, well, my little girlie friend. She likes 'em. kay.

So I go for the Cheerios. But since I was a little loopy hungry, I decide that I need to sugarize the bowl (Vinnissimo!). But the only sugar in the house is brown, which is okay, 'cause I like brown sugar. Who doesn't? So I had to break some of it apart, 'cause it's like a brick. But that's okay, 'cause the milk's coming.

Milk. Got it. The girl softens her coffee. Cool. I do it, too, sometimes. I grab the skim. Date is marked today, so I figure, cool! But I take a whif, and, ah, notsomuch. Bad news. Can't do it. The milk has gone bad. (That happens sometimes from the convenient store milk...it just goes bad faster.)

But you see, I've done the Cheerios, I've broken up the brown sugar, and I'm freakin hungry. I'm on a MISSION.

Orange juice. I have some. I've never done it on cereal before. I've thought about it for years. "Why doesn't anyone eat cereal with a different, perfectly fine breakfast liquid such as OJ," I've asked myself. And I ask it now.

I go for it.

Cheerios with brown sugar and orange juice is so fucking weird it's hard to comprehend. You almost have to do it just for fun. But you will then realize why this is not the traditional fallback breakfast.

I think I'm gonna have to go to the store for the post-2nd-shift midnight snack.

I am taking suggestions.
