Cagematch: Oatmeal Raisin Cookie vs Nectarine
Share
We have a second fridge in our garage. It exists for two main items: my obnoxious amounts of Costco produce & beer. Really, the produce just squeezes out whatever space is leftover from the beer.
Yesterday afternoon I was upstairs while the kids were napping. I started having the vague idea that I was hungry. In the freezer of said garage fridge there is a container of cookies (victory side note: the fact that I have to freeze cookies when I bake them is a miracle in its own right). It occurred to me that an oatmeal raisin cookie could easily be justified as a snack...raisins, oatmeal, it's practically health food! Then inertia kicked in. The garage just seemed too far away for one measely cookie (victory side note 2: Old Sara would have powered past that by eating MULTIPLE cookies). It simply wasn't worth it.
So, where is the victory in being lazy? Fast forward one hour, still upstairs & now feeling genuinely hungry. I started to think about that cookie again, but it still didn't seem worth it. That's when I remembered the nectarines that are also in the garage fridge. The distance that seemed insurmountable for a cookie seemed appropriate for a nectarine. Once I got to the fridge to fetch my nectarine, I had the fleeting thought that I had already made the trek, I might as well grab a cookie while I was there--but I didn't. Holy crap.
