Dairy.

Dairy did me in first.  More than shampoo or toothpaste or plastic-wrapped delicious bacon- half-n-half broke me. On day 9.  I knew I was out of it at home; I stopped at Lambert's on my way and made a quick dash to the dairy section to get my fix ready for the morning coffee.  There were three kinds of half-n-half available to me- one flavored for the Irish, one low fat (?) and one normal.  All had little plastic side spouts for easy pour.  Did I consider the high road and plan to drink my coffee black or with milk?  Did I consider buying out and bringing a reusable cup to my local coffee roaster for an over priced but earth-friendly start to my morning?  Did I consider stopping at Shaw's to see if they had an old school version where you have to gently massage cardboard just-so to get the dairy out of the container.  Yes.  I thought of all these things.  And I promptly spent 2.99 on a little plastic spout that has haunted me since.  Who am I with such weakness?
