loracs | Week O'Lunches

I didn't start out planning to document my lunches, but when

serenejournal said I should do it after I photographed my smoothie on Tuesday, I just kept going. Well, it's Friday and I didn't feel very good today - I've had a headache most of the afternoon. I wandered over to a pizza place and picked at a Greek Salad and a slice of pizza. I tracked down all the olives, peperocine, onions and feta cheese, only eating the lettuce stuff when my main quarries were stuck to it. The pizza wasn't that good, but it was a very, very large slice. I don't think you can make up for taste by just giving a bigger portion, but they tried.

I spent part of the lunch sitting on a bench in the Plaza waiting for a pigeon to come along so I could feed it some of the pizza, but no one showed up for the party. When I sat down, there was a man standing near the other end of the bench. He was talking very loudly on his cell phone complaining about a job. He showed up, but they didn't pay him the full amount he was promised. I was resting my head against the cement planter with my eyes closed. After he finished, he fumbled around in his large bag and pulled out a pack of cigarettes. He announces "I don't see a sign that says I can't smoke here, so I'm going to. I was here first. I hope nobody minds." I was the only one in earshot, so I guess he was addressing me. I opened my eyes. He was lighting up a cigarette and since he was downwind of me I didn't plan to move - it wasn't going to bother me. As this point, he grabs his bag and storms off. I have no idea why he did the big announcement and then stomped off before I even said anything. A proactive touchy smoker?

It's been fun having lunch with ya'll this week!
