About Me

Hello all and welcome to my first blog ever! My name is Kristy and I am a student at The University of Tennessee in the MSSW program. This blog will detail my experience on "The Food Stamp Challenge". Which means for one week, I will live as if I were on food stamps only $21 for a weeks worth of food.

Lots of thoughts and some panic

For those that don't know me, which is everyone who reads this blog from class, let me just say I'm somewhat neurotic as well as OCD and an extreme creature of habit.  I say I'm neurotic in the sense that I have little quirks and issues that most of my close friends just come to understand, nothing crazy just things like I'm weird about where I'll park/leave my car when we go downtown Nashville to eat or for drinks and don't even get me started on issues I have with restaurants and what factors I consider whether or not I will dine somewhere.  Things like everything has a place and when you use something or borrow something you should put it back in that place, I have a fear of my house catching on fire so I unplug just about everything before I leave for work in the morning, etc.  I like to have a sense of order and definitely have a routine.  I'm already panicking about my morning coffee and the massive amounts of diet coke I consume weekly.  What is said is that I'm prioritizing my beverage expense and then using what's left to buy food.  I'm thinking I could eat Ramen noodles for a week for lunch and dinner as long as I had diet coke.  I'm not sure what I'm going to do about chocolate as I don't think it's in the budget but I'm not sure I can go forego my sweet tooth.  Lets hope my groceries on Sunday don't amount to just coffee grounds, diet coke and reeeses peanut butter cups!!  :-)
