Chipotle Had Me in Withdrawal!

Of this, I am convinced!

Why is it that I crave Chipotle so much? I tell you, I was seriously going into withdrawals this week. I just had to have Chipotle! I was in a hurry and didn't have time to stop, so I passed Chipotle by. Then I got hungry 20 minutes later when I was still on my journey and tried to find a Chipotle on my way home. There was none in sight, so I settled for some nasty chicken sandwich from a fast food franchise that shall remain nameless. Needless to say, it did not fulfill my Chipotle fix.

So a few days later, after being in church all day and night, I drove to the mall to get some Chipotle. I knew the restaurant wouldn't close until 9 pm. Oh, I could just taste the sweet victory of getting a nice bite of a Chipotle taco! I checked my clock and noted that it was only 8:07. Yes! Plenty of time to get my fix. So I walked to to the door, grabbed the handle, and the door wouldn't budge. And then I saw it. The dreaded sign on the door that said, "Today we'll be closing at 8:00 pm. Sorry for the inconvenience." Noooooooooooo!!!!

Defeated, I walked back to my car with my head hung down. Whatever would I do since I could not get my fix? I decided that the next day, I would surely get my Chipotle!

I had to go out of town again and I figured that I'd make a point to stop at Chipotle after going to my event. I got on the road, and half an hour into the drive, I hit wall-to-wall traffic. What was this?! Surely, it was not in the plan for me to get Chipotle this week! Yet, I drove on. I waited in the traffic, I made it to my destination (although I was late), and yes, I eventually got to Chipotle. Was it worth it? Well, you just take one bit of their tantalizing steak taco with the crisp lettuce, juicy tomatoes, yummy cheese, and freshly made guacamole and tell me if it isn't the best stuff you've ever had.
