Never Shop on an Empty Stomach
I’ve been going to the grocery store long enough to know better, but when you run out of food, you do what you have to. People do strange things when they’re hungry.
Enter exhibit A, my shopping cart: Peanut butter and Jelly. One gallon of Orange Juice. Four Chicken Fingers. Honey Wheat English Muffins. Lemonade Gatorade (I didn’t even know they made that!). Frozen Lasagna, Cinnamon Apple Sauce. …and they didn’t make it, but I was *this* close to grabbing Krispy Kreme Donughts…
Yes folks, add milk and cereal and that’s my grocery shopping for the week.
Fear not, I do have other things in my cabinets… but it’s nothing I want to eat. You know what I mean. You buy something thinking oh yea, I’m totally going to eat that, only to avoid it like the plague once you bring it home. It happens to me all the time mainly because it’s just hard to cook for one person. I mean really, what am I going to do with 16 fluid ounces of black-eyed peas?
So this week is my week to polish off everything that I didn’t want to eat, before that dreaded expiration date.
Speaking of expiration dates, that’s why I can never buy bread. How do you eat 50 slices of bread in the one week? Then I just feel guilty when I have to throw out half a loaf. Milk use to be the same way until I found Organic Farms. Somehow this healthy “organic milk” keeps for two months and it tastes much better.
I’ll leave now with a proverb: It is better to stay silent and have people think you are a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
I’m going to try and post more often. Here’s to removing all doubt. Cheers!
Get Ready
I can’t seem to post to this thing often anymore. Of course that doesn’t mean my life is dull and without anything worth commenting on. In fact, it’s actually been pretty exciting the last month or so.
2004 is winding down, and I can feel 2005 coming over the horizon like a mack truck. 2004 has been a year of waiting. 2005 will be a year of action. Stay tuned.
