https://www.dropbox.com/sh/g7hzecmv09xmtic/AAC5Yi7K93ihrocn9gpOdtVEa?dl=0 I realized going through photos today and deciding what to include in the folder that I take too many photos - random cups of coffee, photos with my cats, the food I had at a little Cuban cafe in Miami where I couldn't order for myself and had no idea what I was about to receive, reflections in windows, downtown Baltimore where it looks like an actual bomb went off, streetlights at night, and on and on. I constantly run out of memory space on my phone because of it. 


Today I've been preparing for my trip to Oklahoma City and Dallas - for which I leave Friday. I bought oatmeal and dried fruit, granola bars, and, as usual, my favorite candy - Welches fruit snacks! I also have real fruit, and packs of stove top mashed potatoes. When it comes to food, I'm often bad at be an adult about food. I eat what I want for the most part, I just started make sure not to eat too many calories. When I was younger (15-20) I was a pretty militant vegan, which is a little-known fact about me. I wouldn't eat baked goods and mostly subsisted on rice, vegetables, edamame, and tofu. And a lot of coffee and things like hemp milk. I didn't even eat nuts, seeds, of vegan substitutes cause I thought they were too high in fat...a low fat vegan diet is the best way to be cranky 24/7/365 that I have ever found. Times five years, and I was not ever in a good mood. 


I became vegetarian when I was twenty, and I ate so much cheese it was actually ridiculous. And baked goods! I ate things like biscuits and gravy again, toast with butter, chocolate chip cookies - normal chocolate even. Ice cream. I could use butter to cook with. I actually ate a bit too much for a couple of years - thankfully my metabolism is pretty decent so nothing happened that seriously affected my health. I've done a lot of weird food things honestly...I was anorexic before I became vegan and I think veganism actually did help me in that I thought about food differently. I've been vegetarian, I tried paleo and ended up with horrible headaches - though I still love paleo chili and meat recipes. Now I just eat too much candy every now and then haha...drink too much coffee, I like bread too much maybe. I love butter and fancy chocolate. Steak. I should take more photos of food...or maybe I shouldn't be that person.

Your musings are so human and your honesty refreshing - I enjoy reading your posts. I like this picture too - how the shadow of the window is aligned perfectly in the mirror is just one nice detail - it has depth both visually and emotionally. Can one really ever take too many photos?

Thank you so much...I'd noticed this the other day when I was cuddling with my cats and took some photos. For whether you can take too many photos, I'd say no. My storage level on my iphone would say yes haha.
