Why can't I be addicted to celery?

Why, oh why, do I love hot chocolate so much? I wish I didn't have little addictions that were not so good for you. I want to just wake up in the morning and LOVE celery and vitamin rich blah blah blah. Instead, I wake to want a large, rather 2 large cups of coffee with cool whip and usually, I want a brownie or something of the like. There has to be a reason I'm so obsessed with chocolate. Anyway, I had done really good with my no junk food. Seriously, never done better...but I didn't lose anything so.... yeah, fell off that wagon. I wish it was easier like before I had Berlin.

I've had it with my Sigma lens. It does an okay job for now...but I can't wait to get a better quality wide lens. Here is my list of things that I want that are going to take a while to get....

* Canon 16-35 2.8L lens
* Canon 85 1.2L or 50 1.4L .... the latter is a little more doable at this point since it is like 1/4 the price.
* Canon 5D so that my wide lens can actually be wider.
* Some Canon macro lens that is like 100mm or longer. My macro is 50mm.
* Video card upgrade for the other computer so I can multi task like a crazy person even more!
* A studio space.... currently working on that! Yay!
* Need grids and softboxes for my new lights
* ANOTHER backup hard drive because mine is almost full. 500 GB already from this year!
* Think Tank rolling bag. ( yep, a story to go with this. I have been having back spasms since Saturday night. My leg and right hand keep going numb and I've been getting shooting pains in my head. Why? Because I carried about 75 lbs of equipment all at the same time because I was worried about leaving it alone in the reception hall. NOT doing that again.)
* Misc. studio furniture to use... couches, tapestry, etc. Found some awesome ones...

Anyway, I'm waiting on all this stuff until I have a good chunk of $ saved for it. So far I have a little over $2000 in my business account for it, but I want to make sure I choose wisely...so as I have been for the past few months....I'm thinking on what is priority. I'm thinking that the rolling bag would be a good investment :)

Okay, now back to editing....

Hmm. I just ate 1 1/2 stalks of celery. Yay me. We're not couting the dip, right? :)

Good! BUT, are you addicted?

Definitely not. I don't exactly yearn for my next serving of celery. But I do think all day about how I can't wait to go home and eat a carrot. or not.
