Full Fridge, Happy Heart.
There is this strange phenomenon that runs in my family. I was fairly sure that it was genetic, until I realized my sister-in-law does it too. I like to call it "full refrigerator syndrome." Everyone in my family is completely convinced that if the fridge isn't stuffed full of food, then you are out of food, and therefore you are clearly going to starve. We're not happy unless there is something we can't see rotting in the back.
Well, after weeks of working overtime and getting down to a carton of soymilk and a jar of mustard, I was convinced that I was shaming my family. Yesterday I finally went grocery shopping, and alas, the fridge is full again. I feel a strange sense of peace knowing that it's so full I could loose something in there...the way it was meant to be.

I always thought that was just part of the human condition. I feel roughly the same way. I know I can always find 'something' to eat, but it's never the something I want unless it was just purchased and is now near impossible to get at without pulling eight other things out of the way (which I refuse to do [kinda makes it a game or puzzle]["Hmmm... now how can I get to that [insert some largish item that would typically be in the back of the fridge] with out knocking over the jar of mustard?"]).

P.S. There is only one thing I hate more than having my picture take... Having my pictures posted. I would protest by never returning to your blog until it was removed, but then how would I know you did unless I looked? And that would only cause me to read whatever new item you posted. This sucks!

At least one of the pictures is a side profile...plus your girlfriend told me she would give me $20 to put your pictures on my blog. She is eeeeevvvvvillllll.

Did you get payment already? If not, take it down until she pays up. She likes to reneg on deals like that. I suggest you take it off until you recieve the full $20, otherwise you will never see it. I'm just trying you help you out here by the way. I have no motive behind this aside from your financal welfare.

TAKE IT DOWN!!!
