We have a new Friend of The Blerg!

So you all know Schmatalie, my co-dependent sister surrogate? And of course, prolific guest blogga and Longtime's pal Smellen? And roommate Schmamber, inventor of the WhiskTea? And beloved contest winner Schmemily? These are all illustrious F.O.B.'s. And now I want to introduce to you another FOB: Schmusannah.

As of Friday, Schmusannah—don't call her Schmusie—was my only friend at work. She left for greener pastures hated it as much as I do. If you have not met her, and you probably have because I know most of our readership attended Schmatalie and my "It's Christmas and We're All In Misery" party, picture Anne Hathaway blessed with a rack of Hayekesian proportion.

I finally shared my deep burning secret with her before she left: I have a blog. God that word is awful. I have a blerg. Since I want the world to know how hilarious she is and she swears she'll read it, I will share her commentary on an article we discussed over AIM.

The article in question was called: "Forget Jenny Craig. Hit the Drive-Thru." They basically riff on the Taco Bell's Drive-Thru Diet for 1,000 words. "It's fine to eat it, but don't use it as a weight-loss tool yada yada yawn." But Schmusannah's concern was for this woman:

Now Ms. Wimmer dreams about fast food that is also healthy. “I’m not talking about freaky ‘apple fries’ as a side for a Whopper, but rather a place where fresh fruit and steel-cut oatmeal is as fetishized as deep-fried French toast sticks,” she said.

"If she's fetishizing French toast sticks, clearly she's meeting the wrong guys," she typed. Hey-yo!

On a related note, I've been advocating the Chipotle diet for years: eat one burrito once a day. That's it. It's simple, it's easy, and it's got all the major food groups: protein, dairy, and guac. Plus you won't feel full until the same time the next day, so you only need to eat once. Economic and delicious. I was privy to Schmusannah's first Chipotle experience, something that usually happens with everyone I work with, and sadly, her poor little tummy could not take it. I believe she likened it to a "digestive holocaust." (You'll get there one day, I know it.) 

Welcome her to blerg everyone!
