A normal person would keep a cohesive blog that covers every aspect of their life.? Not Melanie, or “Neko” to those who lust me.? I had to start a blog for every facet of my life.? Before you know it, I’ll have 100 blogs.? Sure, this being wordpress, I could create a theme that feeds different categoried posts to specific pages and only log into one WP dashboard, but that sounds like work… or preplanning.

Anywho… this is my VEGAN BLOG.? I know.? Crazy.? Bet you didn’t know I was a vegan!? Well, I’m not.? Not yet.

I’m trying to get prepared for my new life as a vegan.? I’ve been reading books, compiling personal resources and working on my shopping list for my new lifestyle.? I want to go into this new chapter in my life as prepared as possible.? And to tell you the truth, I am not daunted at all.

At the start of October, just a few days from now, I plan to start my vegan diet.? The reasons for this are many.? First of all, I am housesitting til the end of the month and don’t have access to my own pantry.? Secondly, I find that making a lifestyle change and sticking to it is easier when you map things out and can set concrete goals.? A specific start date is a very concrete goal.? I read somewhere that November is supposed to be a Vegan Month, but I can’t wait that long. I feel like the preperation/research phase is coming to a close and I am eager to get on with it.

Interesting, October is is the Vegan Month of Food, or VeganMoFo.? It’s a (now) annual blogging event organized through the Post Punk Kitchen as a kind of Vegan slant on the NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month).?? The purpose of VeganMoFo is to write about Vegan food for a month.? You can oin the official list and other VeganMoFo readers and writers might visit your blog.? They might not.? Who knows?

Will I be joining the VeganMoFo?? Of course!? Of course, this being a Vegan blog it would be more like the VeganLiFo (Vegan Life of Food).
