The Hardest 'Thing' to Give Up when Planning to Move Across the Country?

My half-empty bottle of Frank's Red Hot Sauce.

You know when you move somewhere and your fridge starts out empty, but then starts to get filled up as the months go on, and it's all expensive stuff like mayo and ketchup and pickles... and the best thing EVER, a staple in my fridge at least, Frank's Red Hot Sauce?

I have been letting my kitchen supplies dwindle over the past few weeks because I know I'm leaving soon, on Sept 30th, but I'm not moving just down the street, I'm moving to Toronto! And I realized just now as I prepared my delicious cheese quesadilla that I will not be able to bring my Frank's with me. I just don't think he'll survive the drive.

I was sincerely disappointed. It took me a second to realize it and it made me laugh a little when I did.

I've grown attached to Frank, he's more than half empty, and has started gathering the dry sauce crust in the cap because he's so well used.

Anyways, I just thought that it was funny that I don't care about any of my furniture if I had to leave that behind, but I am sad about sauce that can be easily replaced. Weird.... ;)

PS - I still haven't had a burger. Well, a real one anyways. - it was a late, dark and stormy night. Everything was closed. I was starving after work, I had no food at home, it was Labour Day and no grocery stores were open. I had to succumb to a Spicy Chicken from Wendy's. But it was just the one time, I swear, and it meant nothing. It hasn't happened since. And I felt really guilty afterwards.

Too Many Burgers - Feelin Greasy

This is my declaration. I am going on a no-burgers-for-as-long-as-I-can-stand-it diet.
I have to stop eating so much bad food. Its not necessarily that I'm concerned about gaining weight, I don't really have that problem (yet) but I am tired of feeling gross, unhealthy, unconfident and guilty after I scarf down a delicious meatfilled and mayo-loaded bun!!! You are what you eat right?! So I wanna be hot fresh juicy and yummy not greasy lardy sticky and lukewarm. I've been so lazy eating at the food court at work all the time, wasting money on salt, fat and sugar. I also could probably afford a gym membership for the price of 4 mozza burgers a month!!!
Anyone else wanna join me in this feat of monstrous proportions?! Its gonna be hard, those cravings are hard to beat. Two mouths eating veggies are better than one. It could be like the Seinfeld "master of their domain" episode, but with less scandalous terms.
I challenge you!
Wish me luck. I'll keep u posted on how many burgerless days I've held up on. (Don't worry I'm gonna avoid other awful foods as well!)

What? Another Blog?

Yes, another blog.

For those of you who know me I have a travel blog, which is gonna be out of commission for a while. I used to LOVE writing. I did it for years! About anything and everything. Poetry, random prose, short stories, notes, and quotes! I also LOVE writing the most, lately, when I'm traveling. It is a great way to keep memories of the slight things that in today's hectic lifestyles we are too busy to remember. One of my favourite things to do every few months is to go back and read my travel blogs. It's relaxing, funny, and like going back in time. But I've been asked to write articles before, and have also considered writing a blog in the past, but I find it ridiculously hard to get inspired to write when I'm not abroad. I feel like I have nothing to write about. But really, I do! Things happen every day! Thoughts cross my mind all the time! I update my Facebook status CONSTANTLY! There's gotta be some way I can focus that into writing again.

SO... since I've realized in my 'quarter century age' that I can no longer frolic in the student lifestyle of being carefree and traveling at a whim, writing when I'm traveling, I must find some way to make my everyday life be something worth writing about. I am gonna write about "The Everyday Crap & Good Stuff Too".

I think it will be just as great to look back on these blogs in the future. Laugh about old jokes, things that pissed me off which really shouldn't have, great things that happen to me or other people in my life, thoughts, quotes, friends' advice, memories. OH and I have a bajillion photos that just sit on my computer, so I'll post those sometimes too. I think this will be a great way to reflect on this busy but amazing life!! So follow if you want, comment if you want, take it in, reply back, whatever! This is a place for enjoying life and all its ups and downs. I hope to keep it up periodically for years to come!!
