Pondering: why do I prefer room temperature water over cold water?

Anticipating: decision?

Excited for: tonight to go to a food tasting with the boyfriend and the bff

Feeling: blah. yet another stupid work day

Carrying: my semi-new red lunchbag!

Wearing: not anything new. hmph.

Sitting: alone on the bus 666! and it's during commuting hour on Monday morning. now this is a miracle my friends.

Surprised by: having to go to another wedding in october. i thought i was done for the year! weddings are things i love to complain about but ultimately, i love weddings! and this one is in newport, rhode island so something new!

Annoyed by: parent returning from korea. it's wonderful having a fully-stocked refrigerator but that also comes with fully-stocked nagging and dictator-like orders from daddy-o. the things i do for food.

Shocked by: how fast the summer sped by. i have yet to do half the things i wanted to do this summer! this blows.

Waiting: for the stupid bus in front of us to move.

Deciding: whether i should splurge today and buy iced coffee as opposed to drinking the office coffee. cheers to the new frugal jasmine!

Relived: that field day is done and over with and also super glad people seemed to have enjoyed themselves! note to self: no more taking on random projects especially based on the excitement of that moment.

Status

Since I don't have anything substantial to write...

- Current mood: Anticipation
- Physical dysfunction: Red left eye. Hope it's not a pink eye. If it is, I definitely blame David.
- Cravings: Dean & Deluca's large iced coffee with skim and two splenda
- Looking forward to: Foodies dinner tonight at HopKee!
- Yesterday: Dinner with David at Frederick's on Madison to use up the $25 gift certificate deal I scored with restaurant.com that I bought for $2. Went to his basketball game for his league and David hit a career high.
- Recent excitement: Riding in a convertible for the first time yesterday. I felt like a celebrity and because I did, I also felt like a loser. 24 years of living and yesterday was my first? It's comparable to a 40 year-old virgin (not that that's a bad thing.....)
- Recent accomplishments: Cooking dinner for David and Charlie because otherwise we'd have to eat ramyun every night. I'm actually not that bad! Thanks to being a foodie, I can cook by taste. Yay.
- Recent failures: My house is disgusting and I have no desire to clean it. I'm contemplating on hiring someone but I think my parents will never come back if I do just to punish my inabilities to clean up after my own self and stupid brother. Hmph.

And today is already Thursday and pay-day! Cha-ching... except they're all in pennies. Sigh. Necesito dinero mas porque tengo que vivir.

Breakfast

If you haven't already known, I am a foodie. I love the idea, the consumption, the variety, and of course the taste of food. Every morning when I get on the bus, I contemplate for good 45 minutes on what I should order for breakfast. It can get quite stressful when I am not inspired by much and I have to unfortunately..... eat to live. Drag. These are some of my ongoing breakfast menus:

- egg white, bacon, and tomato on whole wheat toast dry (University Deli - 13th & University Pl.)
- egg white omelette with spinach, tomato, and feta cheese with whole wheat toast dry on the side (University Deli - 13th & University Pl.)
- two eggs overeasy with home fries and whole wheat toast dry on the side (University Deli - 13th & University Pl. and it costs $2.50 AND they deliver!)
- everything bagel with vegetable cream cheese (Giant Bagel Shop - 13th & University Pl.)
- cheddar jalapeno bagel with sundried tomato cream cheese (Au Bon Pain - Port Authority)

Though I stopped (or trying very hard) buying coffee after my office finally purchased a coffee machine, these are my favorite iced coffee options all en route to work!

- Dean & Deluca large iced coffee with skim and 2 splendas ($2.95)
- Dunkin Donuts hazelnut or toasted almond medium iced coffee with skim and 2 splendas ($2.45)
- Toasties large iced coffee with skim and 2 splendas (<$3)

- Starbucks doppio over ice on grande cup. Add soy and 2 splendas ($2.12)

- Au Bon Pain medium french vanilla iced coffee with skim and 2 splendas (<$3)

I guess this could've been a foodie blog... Maybe I'll post it there as well. And for today, I am lame and I had cereal at home. But Special K fruit & yogurt cereal is actually quite fantastic!
