I Broke My Halo. Running total: $52.89

Today I made two food purchases. One was healthy, one was not. I keep a stash of healthy snacks at work to prevent bad decisions (i.e. chips from the vending machine). I've been keeping only granola bars for the last six weeks, and I was staring at them today thinking, "please, no more granola bars." So I went on a walk down to New Seasons on my lunch break and picked up a bag of roasted wasabi edamame for $1.99. Good for you, but so hot you can't mindlessly eat them a handful at a time. I don't feel too bad about that. Incidentally, I saw an interesting book there called Everything I Ate: A Year in the Life of My Mouth by Tucker Shaw. It was a 500-page photo diary of every single thing he put in his mouth over the course of the year with captions of what, when, where, and with whom. Entertaining enough to flip through in the store but not enough to buy.

Later, on the way home from work tonight, I swung by my neighborhood Albertson's and picked up some Broken Halo IPA on sale for $6.99 plus the $0.30 bottle deposit. That Albertson's is the devil. Every day that I work late and come home exhausted and hungry it lures me in and tricks me into buying things like beer. Ah well, I'm human.
