Satisfying an Urge

SO....today I satisfied an urge that I have had for quite some time. In fact, I've had this particular urge for about a year: since last October! Now, don't get your panties in a bind; before you get all discombobulated, let me tell you that this urge had nothing to do with immorality or anything like that. Where is your mind? Get it out of the gutter...

The urge that I satisfied was the desire I've had for steaming hot, fluffy, melt-in-your-mouth Pumpkin Pancakes from IHOP. No, I'm not trying to advertise them to you. But seriously, go try them. Now. No, wait...finish reading this article first, because what I have to say is extremely important. Are you ready? I hope so, because here it goes.

I decided that one of the most important things in life is food. Shocker, eh? Yes, I know that it is important to live and all that, but food is truly important to emotions. Each bite of these wonderfully fluffy pancakes gave me a little bit of happiness. It was like a piece of pure bliss in my mouth for a couple minutes. The best part about food is that it can never let you down. Even if you have a bad taste in your mouth, you have the next meal to look forward to.

Also, look back in your life. When are the happiest times? Family get-togethers? Christmas? Birthdays? Easter? What do they all have in common? That's right! It's food. People don't necessarily like spending time with their families on Thanksgiving; they truly enjoy eating turkey, stuffing, potatoes, yams, and rolls until you either burst or have to use a rubber band to secure the button area on your pants (unless you're one of the smart people that wear stretchy 90s pants on Thanksgiving). Food is wonderful. It is not only vital to our health, but needed for our emotional well-being. So, eat up!

Now you can go get those Pumpkin Pancakes from iHop. Try it!
