I just need to get it out of my system. I want my first meal though to be a Turkey Tom from Jimmy John's with BBQ chips and a sprite, and a fro-yo from my favorite place. I also want pizza and a Big Mac meal with a chocolate shake. I know, I know, gross. Oh and a big breakfast with pancakes and orange juice.
