Where’s my salt lick?

Anybody else craving salt?  I feel like I could have a freaking salt lick and it wouldn’t be enough for me.  I keep making “nom, nom, nom” noises when I pass the salt aisle at the grocery store.  You know the one… chips, peanuts, popcorn, tortilla chips…

I want to take the salt shaker and shake it directly on my tongue.  Is that wrong?  When I go to our local movie theatre, they have a popcorn salt shaker on the counter.   I shake-shake-shake it into the popcorn and then jostle the popcorn so that the popcorn salt will settle and then I’ll shake-shake-shake it again and jostle…  I might even do it a third time.  In addition to totally loading it up with salt, in ensures that neither David nor Rissa can eat the first 1/3 of the of popcorn.

Are my taste buds out of whack?  Am I low on sodium in my diet?  Would it be wrong to carry a small bar of salt in my purse – just for emergency purposes? Then when I get the craving, instead of eating a bag of chips or making nachos, I could just have a couple of surreptitious licks of the salt and I’d be good to go.  Less calories, more sodium.
