I am hungry...
The Queen just went to the grocery store a couple of days ago and spent a few hundred on food. There is nothing in the house to eat. I seem to have this problem often. I actually think this may be a disorder of some sort. I am sure it has a long and complicated name like "haud victus in victus repono" or some other Latin translation. I still don't know why we need to translate everything to Latin, but that is entirely different blog.
I decided to start looking for something to eat this morning after waking up with Avery. I let the Queen sleep in this morning so I can have some quality time with Avery. Quality time in the way that she is sitting at her desk coloring in her coloring book, and I am typing this blog on my computer. Ahhhh, the quality.
I have considered making breakfast, but with me being lazy...and nothing is jumping out of the refridgerator and throwing itself on the stove, I continue to starve. There actually is a large selection of food, just nothing I want or have to make.
So I stand there looking in the fridge longingly hoping for one of the items to magically change into food. I look in the freezer thinking there would be a frozen item I could make. Hmm...Smart One three cheese macaroni...I wonder how that would be for breakfast. That would not be hard to fix. Throw it in the microwave and ding, breakfast.
Nah.
There is that one banana sitting on the banana hook. Hey, when did we acquire a banana hook?
I begin rummaging through the cabinets thinking there would be something different in the cabinet from the last time I checked 10 minutes ago. Nope. The food fairy didn't drop anything off. How frustrating to be hungry and not being able to find a thing to eat in a house full of food. It is in some way like have 500 channels of television and nothing to watch.
This brings me to my point (as I almost always have one). Do we have too many choices? Are our expectations too high? Why do we need all of these choices? Did we really need the same Ultra Charmin toilet paper in four different size rolls? Just offer me the super mega collosal monster size. Do we really need 4 ESPN channels? I can only watch one.
I understand that everyone does not like the same thing and we as consumers want something that meets our individual criteria, but come let's bring this back to reality. When you finally find a product you like and begin purchasing it regularly, the company making it stops making it because it doesn't sell enough to support itself.
Take for instance Bacardi. Bacardi used to make a product called Tropico. It was a citrus (orange in color) type of rum type stuff. Tropico was a regular item in the Warrior party group. It is no longer made. I can only assume it is because they wanted to release some other beverage they will soon phase out. Basically at this point, I am up a creek without a paddle.

Thanks High Priestess
Do you remember when grocery stores were smaller? Do you remember when you went to the grocery store and could finish shopping without having to spend an hour in the grocery store? What would we do without all of these choices? What did our parents do? Why do we need to have so many choices? Do you really need a cabbage smoothie on the menu at Jamba Juice?
I miss the days when choices where limited, but easy.
Did you know...
Some ribbon worms will eat themselves if they can't find any food.
