You Are NOT What You Eat
If I’m in a fragile state, even a trip to the grocery store can be a minefield. Just last week, with the following items in my basket: a couple of apples, one chicken breast, a box of LU Pims orange cookies, and 4 bags of cat treats, I was sure that the man behind me was thinking, here’s a woman who spends her weekends, ALONE. A single friend who is braver than me, shopped defiantly at the market on Thanksgiving and bought herself a yam and a lone turkey leg. But this week, I don’t care what others think, because this week, I’m planning my trip to Rome.

I just want you to know I went out and bought a box of LU Pims orange cookies last night entirely because you mentioned them in your post. I don’t think I’d ever eaten them before. They’re good. I’m telling you this because I think someone owes you some money.
