Well I finally broke down and went to a "real" grocery store today. I think I've been living out of the gas station and CVS (the local drug store chain) for about 2 months. After all, they have coffee, milk, chocolate, toilet paper...what more does anyone really need?

Anyway a couple of weeks ago I decided maybe it was time to start "thinking" about eating just a little healthier...after all healthy eating is all but literally being shoved down our throats in the last couple of months. Bad carbs, bad fat, bad sugar. Well...that's my diet.

I hate going to the "real" grocery stores...just too many options and screaming crying children. The whole experience can leave a person scarred if they're not careful. First we have the fruit section. Yeah right, fruits are carbs right? Ok, this section will kill me. Although I grab bananas and 4 mix and match apples on the way through. Where do they hide that apple dip at nowadays anyway? I grab a bag of lettuce and wonder if I'll actually eat it this time or if it will turn black and runny like the last one. I think it's all those chemicals they put on it...maybe?

So I easily skip the pop, chip and beer aisle, not my thing. Breeze by the cookies and all the other good stuff. I get through the whole damn store and decide there is nothing safe. Lucky me, Lean Cuisines on on sale 40% off. I'm now the proud owner of 12 already prepared meals. I think it's cruel they put Lean Cuisines right across the aisle from Ben & Jerry's, what's up with that? Skinny ass manager joke?

Well I top off the cart with some ribeyes, t-bones, porkchops and hamburger. I'm not giving up my meat. Oh, I did make one other sacrifice, I gave up 2% milk for 1%. It was hard, but I did it. But the coffee creamer stays....I insist.

The cashier rings up the total $169, no junk food, no chocolate. As I'm wheeling out the door I hear this little voice say "Wanna buy some Girl Scout cookies?" Shit.

Ok, so I got the shortbread cookies and the peanut butter ones. I'm hopeless.
