yes, i am a consumer whore

**mood: well
**noise: co-worker singing Christmas carols...someone kill me now!

i work in 2 separate towns. some days i'm in charlotte and other days, hastings. when i got my new job, the days i spend in hastings increased to at least twice a week. in the past few weeks i've realized just how much more i enjoy work when i need to be in hastings. it's quiet, the folks are nice, they actually come over to talk to you...it's amazing. but the downside is the food. they have snack day every week where a different group makes snacks for everyone and non-snack days, there are still snacks! today there was lemon squares, banana bread and pizza. last week, cream puffs, a cream cheese cake thingy, and cheese. i feel like i'm becoming rotund. this food thing is horrible. i feel like i'm living in palace. i keep thinking about all the folks in this world who haven't eaten in days...so many of our clients can't afford to eat, and yet i sit here in my comfy chair nibbling on lemon squares when i'm not even hungry. it's makes me sick. i keep telling myself to eat for sustenance, yet i keep falling into the refrigerator, a friend of ours is doing a 40 day fast...i think this is amazing. i know the xxx church guys did it too this summer. i don't think i'm up for that...but i do need to fast. fast from something. i need to pray about it.

we live in this amazing land yet it's so draining at times. i feel like my brain is constantly thinking about when else i want, what i can buy or or eat. i feel like a consumer whore. i think it's time to get off the streets.
