Alvarado Street bread

hot is a temperature!

I pretty much love The Office.  Right after I got up, I made coffee using the last of the Starbucks Holiday blend.  I made it a little on the weaker side since I wasn’t needing the caffeine so much – mostly I just wanted the warmth, but also there weren’t too many grounds left.  Then I toasted an Ezekiel English muffin and lathered on the peanut butter topped with a packet of Stevia.  Has anyone been able to find Truvia in stores yet?  I haven’t. Full and warm, I curled up with Twilight for a… Read more >

moo goo gai pan

No I didn’t eat Chinese chicken and mushrooms for breakfast, that was just an answer to my daily crossword….and now it’s stuck in my head.  Admit it, it IS fun to say!   Along with the java, I had 2 pieces of toast with PB (the safe kind).  YUM! Alvarado Street bread, kids.  Love it! The weather wasn’t even in the double digits, and yet I was in the mood for a cold smoothie for lunch.  It could be because I spent the morning reading Twilight (wrapped in 35 blankets)…no shame in it! For those… Read more >

peanut buttah jelly time

Hooray!  The internet people fixed our connection thingy for real now.  Can you tell how tech savvy I am with that intelligent computer language…Anyways, fingers crossed, we won’t have any more days without access to the outside world.  Phew!  (Since it is snowing and I’m cooped up in the apartment, I associate the internet with the “outside”) I started the day off with a mug of frothy vanilla coffee and big bowl of oats. Gotta love me some Bob’s Red Mill organic whole grain oats 🙂 I had about 1 1/2 cups and added in… Read more >

low expectations

Okay, so this is NOT the best approach to life. I hate starting the day with this kind of attitude, but I have to say…sometimes having low expectations leads to a surprisingly pleasant day. After the crapolla shift that was yesterday, I was really not thrilled to go to work today. I got no sleep last night, waking up 800 times, and I had massive bags under my eyes in the morning. Here’s the lunch I packed for myself last night. I bought a small coffee in the morning, but I felt so yuck, that… Read more >

beep beep

I felt like the f-ing road runner today. Actually, I felt more like the coyote, getting anvils dumped on me throughout the day 🙁 So today was a completely miserable day. Fortunately, writing this blog in hindsight helps me not vent to the extreme that I would have if I were writing it in the moment. Grrr… Anyways, I packed this lunch the day before. I had a Bruno’s coffee first thing in the morning, as well as a huge bottle of water, then the odwalla Berries GoMega bar for my AM snack. For lunch… Read more >
