Burnt Toast


“The decisions that we write off as momentary, insignificant, incidental, everyday encounters are exactly when we have a chance to define ourselves. To find beauty. To engage the world around us. To create memories.”
Teri Hatcher, Burnt Toast: And Other Philosophies of Life 

Carbs, the only time they make me feel worse is when they're burnt.

I've been trying to eat when I get to work (an hour and a half early). This is partially to keep my home life happier on work mornings and keep Trevor from asking "Why are you always in a rush, get up earlier."

This morning was multigrain toast with peanut butter and a side berries and yogurt. I burnt that sucker so bad I could smell it at my desk. Nothing like eating hard discs to make you want to take a bite out of life first thing in the morning.

I did however have a  lovely non-fat caramel ice coffee though from Starbucks so all is right with the world.

It's nice enough out that I'll be able to go for my walk this morning/afternoon with Jocelyn. Always puts more of a pep in my step and honestly, easier to tackle the rest of my days work when are able to accomplish a half an hour walk at least around the uptown Saint John area. 

It needs to get done during work hours because tonight, I'll be spending the evening hours with Ethan while Trevor and Amanda go to see Spiderman. I'm not a big movie person (perhaps it has something to do with the short attention span. I want to walk around and talk damnit!), so its nice that they can have each other to go, sit and eat movie popcorn that is eating you from the inside out...it's the color of your fat...why do you want to eat that? 0_o

Anywhoodle doodles, much love!
