Omg, that is SO me. Right down to what several people said in the comments about doing the grocery shopping and then having it rot in the fridge because you had all these grown up healthy plans for real food and cooking which didn't happen cause you ran out of grownup energy.
Been there, done that...have a composter full of rotting vegetables to show for it.
We have two bunches of asparagus in the fridge. I don't know why.
Saw this on one of my other boards, thought I'd share:
An Atheists 10 Commandments.
1) Do not do to others what you would not want them to do to you.
(2) In all things, strive to cause no harm.
(3) Treat your fellow human beings, your fellow living things, and the world in general with love, honesty, faithfulness and respect.
(4) Do not overlook evil or shrink from administering justice, but always be ready to forgive wrongdoing freely admitted and honestly regretted.
(5) Live life with a sense of joy and wonder.
(6) Always seek to be learning something new.
(7) Test all things; always check your ideas against the facts, and be ready to discard even a cherished belief if it does not conform to them.
(8) Never seek to censor or cut yourself off from dissent; always respect the right of others to disagree with you.
(9) Form independent opinions on the basis of your own reason and experience; do not allow yourself to be led blindly by others.
(10) Question everything.
That's a cool list. Although possibly I fail at #3 by eating meat.
Hey! I resemble that remark link.
Wow. Someone just summarized my own personal mantra. Applause! Thanks for that, Vortex.
Tommy, not at all. You can love and respect animals, and slaughter them humanely and still be following these Commandments.
I sometimes think I have babyfever
I know I have babyfever. I just want to hold other people's babies.
Hey, look at that. My internet is refusing to work, except for this site. Again.
(5) Live life with a sense of joy and wonder.
What if you're a grumpy atheist? Surly and misanthropic?
Deena - insent.
ok, boxes A - L are packed and labeled and listed on a master sheet. But that is not the 10 I was hoping for as 8 of those 12 were already packed. 4 lousy boxes. crap.
