The Thing About Cheetos

I think the thing I like best about Cheetos is that they are dangerously cheesy.  I'm a little bit embarrassed by the fact that I'm thirty-nine years old and I'm sneaking Cheetos from a secret hoard in my desk drawer where I hide them from my peeps because I can't bear to share them.  But not embarrassed enough to stop doing it.
The problem with sneaking Cheetos arises when someone walks into the room and I'm still crunching.  Theoretically I should just be able to slam that drawer and swallow, but it's more complicated.  I mean, I can totally close the drawer with one hand and wipe the orange powder off my face with the other because I'm an amazing multi-tasker like that, but it takes some serious shuffling of papers to cover up the crunch.  And no matter how tidy I try to be, there's still cheesy goodness all over my fingers.
For health reasons, I'm supposed to be avoiding stress as much as possible, so I just wait until I'm alone to sneak into my secret stash of Cheetos.  Then I hear a noise--lick the fingers, chew faster, stuff the bag, swallow hard, shut the drawer, wipe the face, close out of all the windows of Jeremy Renner pictures on my computer so I don't look like the stalker that I am, blow the cheese powder off the keyboard--and then I see it was only the cat.
I almost gave myself a heart attack over those stupid cheese flavored corn snacks.  Those things are dangerously cheesy.

  1. Okay, my dear... now you're just outing yourself! Or are you keeping them from discovering the blogs too? Please tell me how before Munchkin figures it out... never mind. She's reading over my shoulder.
    BTW, I'm addicted too!

  2. I've found that eating free Cheetos is not the same as eating those I might have paid for. If I'm laying out the gummint fiat, I feel obligated to finish the bag.
