oh snap!

so this past while I have been unpacking in our new house. While we are very happy to have bought it, the road to buying it was a four month hell. I've been through all different stresses before, but that took the cake. There are many factors that contributed to the stress and ordeal of the whole thing, but I don't need to get in to them here... What I wanted to open up about is the coping mechanisms I engaged in, and what I now realize are the results of my attempt to deal with stress. This morning after a brisk walk with Magnolia the dog, I resumed my unpacking, and out came our good old friend the scale. I guess you know where this is going, don't ya...

So there I was looking at this honest little devise and I had to face it, I mean the battery was working after all, right!?!

"Oh Shit, man"

I laughed and remembered this blog... let just hope I can keep remembering.

We have been in the house a little over a month, during the holiday party frenzy, and many celebrations. The whole time leading up to settlement on the property, was nuts... Not sure of how things wold play out and where we might move if it all fell through, etc etc.. To say we were nutritionally slumming it would be a mild understatement. I developed the habit of visiting the 7-eleven around the corner from my office in the morning for taquitos and chocolate milk. (any Rufus Wainwright fans out there know this is not nearly as sexy as his other take on C&CM...). This was a slight cure for my late nights of viewing crime dramas with cans of beer in hand. Yup, the sauce was flowing a bit too much I'd have to say, witch for all of my friends would be a surprise as I have always handled my libations with reserve and discipline. However the empties always tell the tale.

If your embarrassed when your carrying your recycling down from your penthouse apartment in an elevator that keeps adding young college kids from every floor on the way down that just have to comment that" you should really, like, invite us over for your next weekend party " ... (no thanks girls, I'm engaged... not to mention this was from MonTueWen, and not FriSat... ugh... ) Well I think you know what I am getting at...

So here we go... I'm not laying a lot of ground rules to start, I'm just going to keep it simple to begin.

So first up it is back to the fork, back to the selection of what and when. I'll add up the why soon enough, but I am going to eliminate the food (and ingrediantes) that I don't need, level the feild if you would...

I hope to report back soon,

Best,
