So if you didn’t know, I love snacks. More importantly I love pastries and many other non-healthy things. Jamie Oliver is an awesome chef trying to change the world through food. While I don’t really want to give him nightmares, my choice of snacks would put him over the edge…so without further adieu, a new series about my snack choices.
We have a snack box at my office, it’s like a vending machine without the machine part. Typically the snacks offered are full of sugar, calories and fat…all of the things that are not good for you. Today I was feeling adventurous and I thought I might try out a mint flavored Moon Pie. Here’s the thing, I don’t like the idea of Moon Pies. I watched an episode of How It’s Made and they showed a Moon Pie factory…the whole process. Needless to say, it didn’t make me crave a Moon Pie; in fact the idea creeped me out.
Regardless, I thought I would try it out. I assumed I would toss my cookies (pun 100% intended) so I prepared for the worst.
The worst never came. It was amazing. Jamie Oliver would be so pissed off right now…I went and told other people at work they needed to try one too. Now I’m -in theory- telling the world. Go eat a *new* mint flavored Moon Pie. Dot it. It’s like a thin mint and an Oreo got together and made babies.
*Disclaimer: if you don’t like it, don’t tell me. I don’t care. :)
In three months I’ll flick the switch and start fresh in a new location. No, I’m mot moving my blog already, I’m physically moving to New York…and I can hardly believe it. Since my first visit to the city in 2002 I said I wanted to live there one day -maybe just for a year or two. Now I’ll have my chance.
I’m quitting my job after nine years, packing up what can fit into a shoebox of an apartment, selling my car and moving to a new city. It’s not because I have given up on Michigan either; I’m moving to go to grad school. I’ll talk more about school in posts to come, but I’ll at least tell you where I am going: The New School.
I wont be moving alone either, my fiancée is coming with me. Wait wait I know, I know. Yes, I know, how could I not blog about all of these things before? I’m sorry! I’ll make it up to you I swear it. I just needed to get you up to speed and we can work on all of the details later mmmmk? Great!
Now, does anyone want to buy a car?
I removed some old posts, deleted a few drafts, made a few tweaks to the layout and finished up on some static pages. I’ll probably pull down some old posts that aren’t too special or that had embedded photos…just because they are unneeded and “blah”. I think I’m happy, for now at least. Now I need to give you a little content, eh?
At least I need something to tell you before it looks like I’ve up and disappeared again :)
Well, I’ve wanted to start a new blog for quite some time and today…errr…yesterday I finally got around to setting this up. A lot has happened since I last posted -it has been almost three years, and quite a few things are in the works. I’ll try to bring you up to speed in due time…it will be like getting to know one another all over again. :)
This will be sort of a central hub for all things related to me…photos, Twitter, mobile posts, news stories and anything else.
One thing I mulled over was whether or not I wanted to import my old posts…and I thought why not? After all, these old posts say a lot about what was going on in my life years ago. Hopefully I’ll be able to look back on a lot of them with a few laughs.
I think that’s enough for now…
Cheers!
