…beyond nice.

There was a time when I thought I wanted what everyone else wanted - the house, family, 2.5 kids and a fenced yard. Somewhere along the way I realized that’s just not what I want. I’m not saying I don’t think I’ll ever want it. Right now is just not my time despite the fact that I’m 31. I was talking to my best friend about how I’m getting a little annoyed at myself for feeling like there’s something missing, like I want to uproot myself and do something crazy when everything is great. Then I realize everything isn’t quite great and that’s just it - everything is just nice. I named my last blog “In Pursuit of Happiness” because that’s what I did last year, I tried to find ways to make myself happy. Then I found out that simply being happy and having everything be “nice” is sometimes not enough.

So why SteakGirl.com? Well, it originated from the term “meat and potato guy” which is an expression for simple meat eating guy…well for the longest time, I was the steak minus the potato girl. I was that much of a carnivore, my typical meal consisted of some large slab of steak/ribs with a side of wings. I used SteakGirl as my character name in all the online games I played.

I actually did the vegetarian thing for a year then one day, in the middle of a snow camping, my body got fed up with the veggie-only thing. I would have traded my thousands of dollars worth of camping gear for a cheeseburger at that moment. Up till that point, I didn’t have any cravings for meat, but really, the moment I craved it, the battle was over. Listen to your body and feed it well. Also, if you happened to have gone by the game handle of SteakGirl for years, there’s a very good chance that vegetarianism will not stick.
