ashleyonmusing: Sweet tea blues

Wendy girl

Do girls get thirsty riding Wendy bikes or what? They do, or at least, Wendy and I do. Which is why I write from the Air conditioned-ness of Burger King and Wendy takes a breather just out the window.
We've already been here today, just about 30 minutes ago. Burger king isn't usually a Sunday, or any day, hang- spot, there is grass and stoops for all that. But you see, desperate thirst calls for awkward seating at moments.

I'm super Iranoid, which lies somewhere between irritated and annoyed. These days I'm hooked on sweet tea. Everyday for the past 6 days( so spontaneous and unpredictable right?) I have visited Mcdonalds because they officially have the best tea on the planet. 3/4 unsweetened, 1/4 sweetened and you are golden on all your summer days.

Today Wendy and I were riding along to the indie Mayan theatre to see a flick when the tea fanatic inside began to swoon, rather demand "the fix." My mind raced, where are the closest golden arches? I can think of 3 Starbucks within a stones throw but, no Mcdonalds. And you call this America??!!

Phew, theres burger king- they want to compete- they must have the goods.
They do, technically. But they so don't. Drinking my iced tea made me feel lonesome and homesick. They really have it wrong: Watery, and in a plastic cup( I know that styrafoam is planet cruelty-- but I always recycle it!) And, all of us know and many despise how the plastic cups sweat all over your movie going sweater. Above all, have your lids stay on! Mine flew off while cruising in the wind. When I stopped and parked my bike just after bending over to pick up the lid and straw- bang! Wendy took a spill ( I think she needs a new kickstand) and so did all of my watery tea. Which explains why we are back here, for another filler up. You can count your bippies we'll see you tomorrow mcdonalds sweet tea, you're only a day away.
And, with that rant with frantic iphone typing.... the sweet tea fairies must have come because the Sunday was Resurrected!
