A chaque fois c'est la même chose.
Un par jour. Deux au maximum. Avec un thé. Bien sûr. Et la marmotte, elle enlève le chocolat de son papier alu. Acheté hier, fini aujourd'hui.
Ne jamais faire les courses le ventre vide. Et ne jamais acheter du chocolat en se disant que la boîte survivra plus de deux jours...
J'ai craqué. Mes premiers talons hauts.
Plus jamais.

I've started watching a show on A&E called hoarders. Its about people with serious problems with letting go of their stuff. Watching it is horrible and I do it for motivation. A couple of months ago I was fascinated by this art exhibit at the MoMA where a Song Dong a Beijing based artist took all of his mom's years of hoarded stuff and arranged it very nicely at the MoMA. Craziness.
Whenever I see either the A&E Hoarders show, I think about my grandfather. My grandfather had a serious problem, with buying more supplies than he could possibly use. On Saturdays, when I was growing up, I would go over to his house and sometimes clean it. Added to his problem was that he was also very paranoid so would think people were stealing his stuff. Once he claimed that his enemy stole his can opener, so I went through all his drawers and found 8! I'm not sure why anyone would need 8 can openers. He told me afterwords his enemy probably returned it to trick him. I would also go through his closets and organize everything. I once found more than 10 bottles of rubbing alcohol. I arranged them all on his shelf like a store. I thought, Grandpa you are going to die before you use all these bottles of rubbing alcohol. My dad told me this hoarding habit comes from the time of the war when boats with supplies wouldn't show up, my grandparents on my otherside would hoard things too though they didn't have and didn't spend very much money so their hoarding was kept in check.
The people on Hoarders have severe problems. I'm just lazy, but this hoarders show moves me to act.
Every weekend this month, we haven't had too many obligations so we are visiting the Salvation Army and giving them stuff. A friend of mine just had a boy baby and asked to borrow G's clothes. I gladly gave him a couple of bags. Today as we were going through the closet to haul somethings to the dump, I found a couple more bags of G clothes so I will give that to him too. I think we have several months to go to be at the state where I would like to be at -- where everything we own is currently being used or will be used.
Most of us call 'em leftovers. Because some people prefer not to eat food they consider "old" my mum decided to rebrand them as "plan aheads".
Homefries from Sunday, pan heated with fresh spinach and smashed garlic. It's amazing how much spinach reduces when cooked; one of my fav ways to consume my quota of green leafys.
Nouvelle campagne d'affichage massive pour Findus Fraich'Frites. Assez sympa !
Pendant les vacances, on a fêté Halloween et j'ai adoré faire peur aux voisins avec mes copains ! J'ai eu du succès car maintenant j'ai plein de bonbons, faut dire que je m'étais entrainé toute la semaine à pousser un cri terrible !
Delicious procrastination.
There's no room in which one cab be sober at Simon and Artur's place tonight.
C'est fait ! J'ai fêté mon premier anniversaire et toute la famille était au complet pour moi, merci tout le monde !
