  Eh...
  
  "...(admittedly yummy-looking) steak with a side of mac-and-cheese."
  
  So, a) yummy, b) mac-and-cheese.

>Thomason reportedly cried as she told the judge: "I was foolish, I was stupid."

Funny how they only seem to realize that when the bad consequences are happening to them and never when they are screwing over other people. The b_tch will be thinking of this every day for the rest of her life and all I can say is what comes around.
