Gardetto's

THEN NOW

So I'm sitting here munching on my bag of Gardetto's Garlic Rye chips thinking how it's funny how much our tastes change over time. I mean there was a time when I'd buy Gardetto's and eat everything BUT the rye chips. They were brown, and hard and I thought they tasted funny. But now they are my favorite part of this high sodium highly addicting snack. So much so in fact that I buy bags of just the rye chips and nothing else.

So I'd like to take this opportunity to reminisce about other things that I used to despise but now can't get enough of.

2. (since Gardetto's is obviously number 1) SUSHI!

I'm really of the opinion, now, that if you don't like sushi you just haven't tried it yet. Admittedly, the thought of putting raw fish into your mouth doesn't sound very appealing. I was of the same mind set when I was younger, "what do you mean the fish isn't cooked...gross." But then I actually tried it! And from that day on I was hooked. Now it's my go to get together suggestion. Lucky for me, Anthony likes it just as much. We actually even went sushi bar hopping for new year's. We have tried so many places but have settled with Ra located a mere 5mins walking distance from us. They have happy hour sushi till 7 every day of the week where the sushi is half off!

3. reading

Now probably just like every grade schooler I HATED reading. This is due to the simple fact that we were FORCED to read CRAPPY books that no one cared about. Yes I get that The Great Escape is a book every is supposed to read but not everyone cares to. Surprisingly it was a required book that changed my mind about reading. Enders Game my sophomore year made me love reading again. Now I even have a nook and I can take an infinite number of books with me wherever I go. Im never without a book and I can't imagine it being any other way.

4. technology

In third grade, my school was selected to be a pilot group for a typing program. We were one of the first schools to actually have a computer lab. Again I think it was just because it was forced on me, I didnt like it. I didnt see why I had to learn how to type, why couldn't I just use my pretty colored pens? Then digital cameras, what was the point in taking a picture if you couldn't have a hard copy?! No I wanted none of it. But here I am 21 and wont go anywhere without my iphone, a video camera that fits in my purse (i have a flip its awesome), my nook and my macbook isnt far from me at all times. I also couldnt live without DVR! I am a techno-freak. I need the newest thing right now! anything to make my life easier.:)

5.the color green

I dont know if it was UNT or I got hit upside the head but I love everything Green! and no not all colors of green so dont think that I go around sporting anything puke green. Its more kelly or spring green. bed spread, ipod case, 1/2 the clothes in my closet (ok that prolly is UNT yay for free shirts) green green green. :)

6. nerdy boys

In high school I wanted nothing to do with nerdy boys. They weren't manly enough for me. No, I wanted a military guy. And I had my fair share too. From Army, to Navy, to Air Force, I had like a little collection lol. But as I grew older and wiser, realized that I myself am more of a nerd then I let on to be. And that a nerd boy was just what I needed. Look at Anthony, he is pure nerd. From his glasses to his goofy hair and his xbox addiction. but our personalities match spot on. He is definitely the Rye Chips to my Gardetto's bag. I just can't seem to get enough.

7. even numbers

Oh wait, I still don't like even numbers. and therefore couldn't end it at 6. So here is number 7. My lucky number. :) (mom and dad were each one of 7, was born at 7777 forest ln at around 7 am) so there you go. thanks for reading.
