Poco-Cocoa

Lunch: leftover fideo and coffee.

Dinner at Homeslice: Caesar salad.

Tomato pizza. (I like how Justin’s hand seems to just be hanging magically in the air.)

Today was so very busy. I didn’t have time for breakfast. I didn’t have time for snacks. I meant to get a cup of tea during the day, but by the afternoon I found my teacup sitting on my desk with a teabag in it… I never made it to the office kitchen to get hot water. I packed a chocolate chunk cookie to snack on in the afternoon, but never had the chance to eat it. I didn’t even really realize how busy the day was until it was over.

Justin picked me up from work this evening, and it was quickly decided that we needed pizza, pronto. So Homeslice it was. I love their salad, I love their subs, I love their pizza. But today it was so loud and crowded in there that I couldn’t hear Justin talk, and I couldn’t really relax. It was just one of those days, I guess. At least now I’m at home, and all is quiet, and I’m going to curl up in bed with a book and a cat or two (and maybe that chocolate chunk cookie), and fall asleep early.

Good night, internets.

Breakfast: hot cocoa made with soy milk.

Lunch: my coworker D. brought in tamales that his mom made. They were deeeelicious.

Snack: my coworker C. shared her Girl Scout cookies with us. I love these ones; I don’t know what they’re called. I also had some hot tea and a few Triscuits.

Dinner at Corazon: crab cake with salad.

NY Strip steak with potatoes and asparagus and a compound butter of some sort.

Chocolate mousse.

Me: What should we make for dinner? We could roast butternut squash and beets. We could make a salad with fennel. We could have spinach quesadillas.

Justin: Okay.

Me: Or we could eat out. My coworker C. gave me a coupon for Corazon.

Justin: Yes!!

We’re bad for each other – we both love eating at restaurants. Also, my coworkers are really, really great, if you haven’t noticed already.

Breakfast: tall soy mocha, not pictured.

Lunch at Banzai with N.: salmon nigiri and tofu ramen. We were 11 and 12.

Dinner at Chuy’s: frozen margarita and an appetizer plate. We never make it past the appetizer plate – it has queso, guacamole, sour cream, flautas, nachos and quesadillas. We can’t even finish this plate – what more do you need?

Dessert: Pepperidge Farm dark chocolate chunk cookie. We finally went to the grocery store. 🙂

Also, I’m completely obsessed with this game for the iPad called Little Things. I think it’s for kids, but I love it. You just search for objects, over and over. Playing it makes me sleepy, though.

Also, why are Mondays always so hard? I would like to petition for Mondays to be removed from the calendar. Or maybe there could be a law that work isn’t allowed to start until noon on Mondays, after everyone’s slept in a bit and had a nice cup of coffee and a leisurely breakfast. Someday, I’m going to wake up with enough time to have a leisurely breakfast before work. Someday.
