Comfort foods and all that they imply

Several weeks ago I was having a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. Knowing that some days are like that did not help, so I was wallowing in self-pity. While I was wallowing, several things came to mind to help me get out of my mood. And by things, I mean what foods I could eat to "solve" my problem. So, in my mind I started ticking off what I wanted to eat. To my dismay, I realized that none of my comfort foods are available in Peoria. I first wanted Blue Bell Birthday Cake ice cream...can only find that in the south. Then I wanted a Dr. Pepper from Sonic...closest Sonic is in Pekin (which is fairly close, but not when you're in the middle of a work day. And it would be really pathetic to drive all the way to Pekin just to go to Sonic). Then I wanted a chicken burrito from Chipotle...closest Chipotle is almost two hours away. Then I wanted Chick-fil-A nuggets with Polynesian sauce...also not available in Illinois. My mood quickly went from bad to worse. I text messaged a friend who has all four things readily available to her just so she could sympathize with me. Anyway, the point of my story (don't you just love how you had to read all of that to get to my one sentence point!) I found out on Saturday that there is now a Sonic in East Peoria and I had it for lunch today! Man, was it good! Hooray for Sonic!
