With all of that, you wouldn't think I could have left anything out but I did.. Oh boy I did. I forgot to buy vegetables for the Fajitas which in retrospect is okay since I don't really know when I'll be having it anyway and for sure it'd just rot away if I leave it too long.. I forgot to buy Butter, mayonnaise, eggs, fish and chips (oh, erm fries).. I was supposed to grab some strawberries but that skipped my mind as well. Then again, if I bought anymore, I think I would have damaged my arms because what I took home was already quite heavy. I had to stop twice (which was a lot considering I live so close to the co-op) cause the bags felt they were going to break and so were my arms but I'm here, typing away which clears that up.

I like doing the groceries. I actually enjoy going aisle per aisle grabbing what I need and thinking of what goes well with what. Well, I enjoy doing it here anyways. I didn't really do much grocery shopping back home. My sister usually took care of it. We both were always out of the house that grocery shopping meant buying only the essentials such as shampoos, soap, toothpaste, basically toiletries. No food because my sister and I didn't ever cook. Not that we didn't know how to but we just never did. We'd wake up at whatever time we needed to and we feed ourselves elsewhere. For over two years, my first meal was mostly brunch. Breakfast and Lunch combined right after my first morning classes at around 1-ish. Then I'd have to make sure that when I get home, I've already eaten unless it's another delivery night for me.

That was my routine for almost 2 years and I've gotten so used to it that during my first month here in the UK, when I was living with EJ and Ed and they were eating thrice a day, it really felt so weird to me. But I guess you really can't teach an old new tricks because there were days when I'd be alone at home the whole day and they'd ask what I ate before dinner, I'd stare at them and think, oh shoot, I haven't eaten anything yet. And I must admit, with me grocery shopping almost every other day, I really only eat once and on some good days, maybe twice. Not because I'm on a diet, not because i'm scrimping but just because I don't feel I have to eat. That explains the barely touched food that are in the trash (bad, I know) and it's no wonder I keep losing weight. I'm down to 44 kilos which I don't think is all that good. Boo.

Yes, people are creatures of habit and this particular one has hers nailed impeccably down.. Anyway.. The point of this entry is.. I don't know. Grocery shopping? My obsession with food? My has-been lifestlye circa 2006? My obnoxious eating habits? I seriously don't know..

But what I do know is that I spent 42.10 pounds on groceries today.
