Gingko Biloba Is What Should Have Been For Lunch

Even after months of day-in and day-out blogging about our respective lunches, never missing a day, I can’t believe I completely forgot about it today.

It’s been one of those days.

* The office computers required software upgrades that caused them to have to be shut down, more than once in some cases. They also have been running realllllyyyyyy slowly. Not sure if it is related.

* Marty and Ryan will both be out on Monday, so I am preparing for manning the fort alone on that day.

* My parents are coming for the weekend and I didn’t get all that I needed to do ahead of time done yet. So I am preoccupied with jotting notes down on Post-Its.

* And I plain keep forgetting what I am working on halfway through each task. Especially once I get engrossed in some silly conversation with Tribune reporter Phil Morgan.

Where was I?

Oh yeah, so Marty comes back from a meeting and asks me if I remembered to photograph the bowl of chili I am currently inhaling.

Huh?!

It completely slipped my mind. And not wanting to have to re-microwave my lunch (I would probably forget about it and leave it in there), I decided it was too risky to go downstairs to retrieve our office camera to shoot Marty’s burger and fries.
