You know you're feeling overly emotional when...

...McDonald's stops carrying your favorite breakfast item and it's all you can do to keep from crying in front of the manager.

Seriously, how sad is that?  Some background is in order.  My DH is a McD's addict (I'll save that rant for another day) and, since we've been together, we've gone to McD's essentially every weekend to have breakfast, coffee and read the paper.  Totally not how I would have spent my time before we were together, but it's come to be one of my favorite times of the week.  We show each other articles in the paper, I do the crossword puzzle and ask him sports questions.  It's just so nice.

Anyway, I've been a vegetarian for about 16 years.  So, yeah, McD's is not really a place meant for me!  But, a while ago they added this one breakfast item that normally comes with sausage that you could order without sausage and it is quite yummy.   Eggs, cheese, potatoes, peppers and onions in a tortilla -- the "McSkillet".  I'm sure that stricter vegetarians than I would still not eat it (I'm sure it picks up some meat-iness from the cooking surface) but it worked for me.  In fact, since it showed up on the menu I've probably had it once a week (sometimes more, I'm ashamed to say).  Last week it suddenly went away!  NO!!  The managers and workers (who know our order before we walk in the door) were sympathetic and said that a "junior" version was coming soon. 

So, today, my worst fears were confirmed -- you can't order the junior version without sausage!  Seriously, my eyes started welling up and I had to force myself not to cry.  I'm guessing the combo of sadness about my cat (he's still hanging in there and doesn't seem to be suffering), AF coming (my temp is dropping and I'm feeling crampy -- it's only a matter of time) and work stress/lack of sleep just all came to a head.  

Bring back my breakfast!!!!! 

I guess I may have to start making my own version of it at home and bringing it with us.  :)  I wonder what they'd say?
