Boring Monday

Oatmeal in my Key West Mile 0 coffee mug, and a banana. Butter Toffee coffee. Not terribly exciting, but it's a cloudy, dreary Monday, and I did have rather fabulous breakfasts all weekend.

Strawberry Waffles Forever

Nutri-grain Whole Wheat Eggos, Better'N Eggs, Sugar-Free maple syrup, strawberries, and hazelnut coffee. Looks good, doesn't it? My husband commented that it's been difficult to remember that he/we are on a diet! Let's hope that's the trick.

Can I Have a Burrito?

I promise you, that is not strawberry jam on those eggs. It's ketchup, but it does have a weird, inexplicably berry-colored hue. This morning's breakfast consisted of Better'N Eggs prepared with Tabasco, onion powder and peppers, and cut up Morningstar Farms Veggie Sausage Patties, partially rolled into a whole wheat tortilla. Oh, and a little bit of ketchup, obviously. It was only partially rolled because I tend to overstuff any food that requires stuffing, thus not permitting both ends of the tortilla to meet, and the whole thing fell apart when I tried to eat it anyway. I was permitted to use my husband's brand new Henkel knives, that my parents got him for Christmas, to cut up the peppers, although he hovered over me and made sure I didn't lop off a finger. (I think he was more concerned about my ruining his breakfast than retaining all of my digits. We were both pretty hungry by this point, since he waited to eat until I got home from the gym.)

Oh, and I also had half a pummello for a breakfast-appetizer, and it was really good. It's apparently a Chinese grapefruit, and is just a bit sweeter than the regular kind. That didn't make the picture though.

(Cinnamon) Life is Good

Cinnamon Life, fat-free milk = good!

There's Oatmeal in our Slacks

Had breakfast at work this morning: Brown-sugar instant oatmeal, a banana, and, French Vanilla coffee.

And yes, that is an "Animaniacs" mug, circa 1994-ish. I still love me some Pinky and the Brain. But Rita and Runt always irritated me, as did Buttons and Mindy. There was never enough Slappy Squirrel though. I am very attached to this mug. It's kind of thin though. Poorly constructed. I worry about it breaking. (These are the weighty issues that consume me during the day, important meaning-of-life type stuff.) I guess if something happened to it, I could probably replace it on eBay. (A quick search just showed me that I can indeed do that-- there is one mug for $7.99 in "fine" condition. Good to know.) Maybe I should get an extra, just in case. That would actually be kind of pathetic. Just like this entry.

Chocolate Covered Strawberries (Almost)

Special K Chocolatey Delight (which I love, despite not being a huge fan of chocolate), fat-free milk, and fresh strawberries. Oh, and Rain Forest Nut coffee. The Special K CD is really good. They advertise it as something you're supposed to eat as a late-night snack when you get the sugar-chocolate craving munchies, but I am just fine with having it for breakfast. I pretty much like all the flavors of Special K, although really, what a horrible name. I guess because I'm fat, and have to eat diet cereal for breakfast, I'm also retarded too?

I saw a rainbow this morning while I was walking my dog. I am taking it as some sort of good omen.

Looks Way Less Healthy Than it Was

Two Eggo Nutri-grain fat free waffles, 1 banana, sugar-free maple syrup (not great, but you know) and fat free Cool Whip dusted with cinnamon. Oh, and Irish Cream flavored coffee. (I love you K-Cups!) And I didn't get hungry again until about 11:30am. It looks pretty awesome in the picture, doesn't it?

As I drove in to work this morning, there was a Coca-Cola truck in front of me advertising some sort of new "easy hold easy open" bottle. This seemed kind of odd to me, since I really can't remember having ever had an issue opening or holding a 20oz bottle of Coke varietals. So when I got into work, I checked the Coke site and found a press release about the newly shaped bottles. The new bottle is supposed to offer me "enhanced on the-go-convenience" for my "immediate refreshment." Whoa!! How can they do such a wondrous thing, you ask? Through the addition of "texture and grip enhancements." Fantastic! Now Coke Zero is ribbed for my pleasure!
