Too much Chinese food?

I love Chinese food. I know this because my fortune cookie told me.

I love sweet and sour chicken and white rice. But lately, I've been wondering if I eat it too often. For evidence I offer this pic of fortune cookies that are piling up on my desk.

 

I don't really like fortune cookies, so I usually just throw them aside. I feel guilty not taking them from the restaurant because it feels insulting somehow. Like maybe they were trying to bring me good luck and I rejected it. What if I turn down a fortune cookie and something terrible happens? It would be my fault! I can't seem to throw them away at home either. 

So occasionally I open one to see what it says. So far: 

                                       Honesty and integrity are just some of your best attributes.

                                       He who expects no gratitude shall never be disappointed.

                                       You achieve great peace of mind when you talk with an old friend. 

I also currently have three sets of chopsticks in my pencil holder. So maybe the next time I get Chinese take out, I can tell them, "Oh, I already have chopsticks and fortune cookies, so I don't need any more." Maybe then I can turn down the cookie and not have any bad luck. Who knows?

So anyway...what do you think? Is eating Chinese food two or three times a week too much? Leave a comment. I can't promise it will change my habits, but I'd love to hear from you.

"Do not work for the food that perishes, but for the food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you. For on him God the Father has set his seal.”        John 6:27

Introduction to Me!

Hello! This is my introductory blog. How exciting! Allow me to tell you a little bit about myself. I am a single mom of two gorgeous daughters. I am also a photography student at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco. I am in my penultimate semester.

I love to read. I enjoy watching movies. I work at a movie theater so I can see them for free. The problem with that is between working two jobs and keeping up with my homework, I never have time to go see them. Law and Order is my favorite TV show...but, I watch it online because I currently don't have a TV.

The reason I felt led to start blogging is to develop my writing and photography. I figured that if I had a blog I would be forced to write, to think, and to photograph. So there you have it. If you're looking for a blog that has a distinct purpose, you've come to the wrong place...unless you consider comments about stuff that goes on inside my head a distinct purpose. (Scary...tsk, tsk) But if you care to follow along, look at a wide range of photos, and share your thoughts, then I'm glad you joined me! I'd love to hear from you.
