Change is tough. No shocker there.
But it can be even harder when you're married to a chameleon.
Obviously I don't literally mean a chameleon. I mean someone with chameleon like characteristics, specifically the ability to adapt to new environments quickly. Enter Chris.
For example, I don't know how a man, who practically lived at in and Out, moves half way across the country and within weeks has already found and fallen in love with a new cheeseburger.
I on the other hand, have refused to even try a cheeseburger since I've been here, just dream about them instead. I'm serious, two in and out dreams, two miguels dreams.
Today, I guess you could say I had a mini meltdown, food related of course. I was in serious need of some comfort food and being Nowhere near anything remotley familiar I tried out a little place called taco johns. Fail.
The food was ok, it was supposed to be like a del taco, except it's basically nothing like it. When I asked for a small fry they said we have potatoe oles.... Ummm ooook. Nope. They were good, but nothing like French fries and I was is no need or mood to try ANOTHER new thing.
I realize this sounds pretty ridiculous, but when you're starving for something familiar, something consistent, something the same or that you're used to you just want a little comfort with you're food.

ReplyDeleteyou know you can buy frozen in-n-out patties... maybe we can mail some over in a frozen package. you can do that right? haha
stick with ice cream. all grocery stores have got to carry the bigger tasty brands. plus its so dang delicious.
you don't sound ridiculous at all.
ReplyDeleteoh.my.word. I know exactly what you are sharing when sometimes we just want something familiar and consistant. oy.
and, I was/am the last to adjust to the move. I would often look at my family and think -- why can't I adjust like these "chameleons" ;)
