200 pounds of meat

That's what I was carrying around in my trunk this morning (202.5 pounds to be exact -- which is more than I weigh by 35% -- of sausage, bacon, and chicken), as it was Blue & Gold fundraiser pick-up day. I knew it was coming, but I just didn't conceptualize how much meat people had kindly ordered from us. Once I had it all in the VUE, I realized I couldn't take this stuff to work and let it sit in the car all day, but that I also couldn't get it all to fit into any refrigerator to which I had access (or course, it didn't hurt that there's a helpful little message on the side of the boxes). This stuff needed to be divided up and quickly, so I had to take off a couple hours from work and become a meat delivery man. (Don't even go there) But to make matters worse, there were "multiple multi-car accidents" on I-40 this morning, which meant a whole lot of sitting in traffic for me. My how I love to sit in traffic immersed in the smell of thawing meat.
