the grilled chickenator
well, i've been waiting for the calls and offers to start flooding in, and today it happened. i was offered my first endorsement deal!
i picked my car up from the dealer (had to take it in to have the ipod kit installed.) i was starving and it was a long drive home. so i reluctantly went through the wendy's drive-thru. i saw something called "the baconator" advertised.
a peak into the mind of glittergirl at the drive-thru: oh god, that baconator can't be good!!!! no, no, no, get something healthy.... but bacon is yummy! no, you've been talking about trying to eat better, now man up and get a stinkin' chicken sandwich, grilled and no mayo!!! f*ck it all!!!! ok, fine!!!!"
i pull around to collect my healthy, sad sandwich and the girl looks at me and yells, "hey! you're the girl from tv! i saw the ads! you had stomach surgery! wow....... how'd ya get to be on the news? is that monica robins as cool as she seems???"
i stammer and stutter...... "um, yeah....monica was really fun to meet, down to earth and all. but are ya sure it was me you saw? i mean, i got a haircut and all!" (i know, i don't make any sense.) she tells me she watched the story because a friend had the surgery and had "an awful time of it", and that "she'd remember my face anywhere."
"oh yeah, you've got a face anyone would remember! you better get used to this! good thing you came here to wendy's, since it's waaay better here!!!!"
i scowl & giggle and ask her to please, when she tells her friends about this, to tell them that i ordered the damned grilled chicken sandwich with no mayo!!!!
