I’m linking up again this week with the lovely Kate and the other awesome writers of the Five Minute Friday community.

You know it’s time to make some changes, when the KFC delivery guy calls you ‘Vern’.

True Story.

It happened last night.

He also gave me some shade for wanting Pepsi instead of the apple flavored soft drink.

Want to know the saddest part of this whole mole hill I’m making into a mountain for the purposes of a Five Minute Friday story? And no it isn’t the heart attack waiting to happen or the fact that I don’t have KFC all that often I swear or that I don’t even know the delivery guy’s first name…

The saddest part about this story is that I wanted to tweet that first sentence, typed it out and agonized over hitting send for far too long, deleted it…and then Five Minute Friday came along and I turned it into a blog post.

Why?

Because I love writing about the minutiae of my life read the words over and over and came the realization that I’m not really all that funny and I really, really didn’t want people knowing just how much KFC I consume on twitter. Aaaaand I was more than a little worried that KFC’s social media manager will somehow ‘see’ the tweet and respond – like Cinnabon did.

Sometimes I feel like I’m doing this writing thing wrong. I over think everything. Even tweets! I write, and rewrite and then re-write some more and still the post will sit in my Drafts folder for ages. I’m going to hit publish on this piece, simply because I feel like I need to give myself a break sometimes and not be so serious all the time.

I suppose that’s what writing for five minutes is all about. Do you agree?

STOP

I ran out of time and did some proofreading after the five minutes were up.
