<\/a>BEHOLD.<\/p><\/div>\n
Oh, and did I mention that on Monday night the burgers (+fries) are just SIX DOLLARS?! Yeah, $6. Life is good.<\/p>\n
They also have cheesecake on the menu, but after finishing that off, cheesecake will be the last thing on your mind. Standing up was not even really on my mind. So I walked to the Campus Recreation & Wellness Center, swiped my ID, and turned around and walked home. I had no intention of exercise post-burger, but I need to get up to 52 workouts this year to keep my staff discount, and just walking anywhere with that burger in my belly sounded like a workout to me.<\/p>\n
As soon as I got home I started blogging, and all of the sudden, in swoops a BAT. In my living room. At my head. Needless to say, this was very unpleasant. There may or may not have been some shrieking and cowering in fear. That was soon followed by commando crawling through the apartment while aimlessly swatting with my tennis racket. This strategy was unsuccessful. I opened the door to the porch and as soon as he flew out there I trapped him. He’s still out there now. I’m realizing now that I should have caught this on video, because that would’ve been comedic gold and increased the hits to my blog to about 10.<\/p>\n
The really bizarre thing is that this exact same thing happened last year at the end of August. I am therefore publicly apologizing for all the horrible things I’ve said about the “Twilight” series. Dear vampires of the world and your bat friends, please leave me alone now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
