Burst Bubble

All of us have had our sights on something for hours or days or months or even years, and just when you think you have it within your grasp, it slips away. The bubble bursts.

Sometimes it is a promotion, a new relationship, a new home, or a big, lofty personal goal.

Other times, it's a burrito bowl.

I woke up this morning craving a burrito bowl...badly. As a responsible, sensible adult, I held off until late afternoon before placing an online order to be picked up an hour or so later.

After placing my dream order, I changed and freshened up before venturing out into the winter cold, and happily exited my condo. I made two quick stops before hopping on 95 South.

I made my way towards the holy grail and as I pulled into the parking lot, I quickly got discouraged and annoyed. The restaurant was dark. Closed.

Why would the restaurant app allow me to place an online order if the restaurant wasn't open? Why weren't holiday hours posted within their app site? Don't they know that I passed two other tasty Mexican restaurants to get to them?

Maybe it's the universe holding a Mexican food intervention for me...?
