A very Oreo day.

I know I shouldn't discriminate against Sunday for Monday's bad behavior, but every time it rolls around...I do. I can't help it. However, today wasn't terrible. Mostly because I kicked it off with this fab breakfast:
Tea+Corn Pops+strawberries+Activia = Good morning.
Note the matching strawberry bowl and plate? AREN'T THEY ADORABLE?
Oh, Pottery Barn. How do I love thee?

Close-up of Corn Pops+strawberries. Because I was too challenged to get them in the above photo.

In the process of getting this shot, I almost dropped my camera. Multiple times.

(Note: I am abandoning those "small" blogger photos. Wimpy wimpy wimpy.)
Then, undoubtedly looking like an idiot, I took a much-needed jaunt around the neighborhood with my camera.

This was actually taken at my complex. I forget how lucky I am to be surrounded by so much beauty.

Here in California, we have springtime...IN THE MIDDLE OF WINTER.

However, things got interesting when I made it to Palm Haven.

Do you know why they call it Palm Haven?...Neither do I.

I met this cute little dude. Or chick. I didn't check. o.O

"Heeeere kitty kitty."
...Am I the only one who thinks it's creepy when people do that?


So I decided to name him (her, it?) Oreo. Because it fits.

But then I was faced with a dilemma.

THIS little dude was wandering around along the way. I decided that he needed a name too. But there couldn't very well be two Oreos!

So I named him Oreo 2, and that was that.

When I got back, I decided to spend some time in my happy place.

^ Happy place. ^


This piano has the loveliest sound ever. I love it more than I love Nutter Butters.
And that's saying something.

Pretty soon, I was plenty hungried for lunch.
And, taking my walking experience as a sign from God, I had Oreos ;]

Toasted chicken and cheese sandwich, mini Oreos, and Almond Milk (for dipping, of course!)

OREO FOOD PORN.

HOORAY.

So then it was off to work for me. Hi-ho, hi-ho.

Work's been a bit nerve-wracking. Lots of people coming and going (quitting/getting fired/getting hired). However, I was able to take a relaxing break where I enjoyed...

&

Ohmigosh. I have only just discovered the wonderfulness that is Larabars. Unfortunately, although thoroughly raiding my local Whole Foods Market, I only came across 3 flavors! Booo.

Dates and cashews only? How could one go wrong?
That's right. You can't.

There's something so sad about a pile of orange peels, don't you think?

When I got off work, I committed myself to the delights (NOT) of AP European History whilst my mom cooked up some din din.

Sauteed new potatoes and mushrooms, salad with strawberries, raspberry vinaigrette, and pine nuts, and leftover S&S chicken. Yummy in my tummy.

Although trying to keep with my Oreo theme, I discovered that..*GASP*...we are all out of Oreo ice cream.
*Sniffle*
So I settled for the next best thing.

Ice cream sandwich. Orgasmic. That's all I have to say about that.

So now I'm off to do some more hardcore studying. Likely won't get many pictures of eats tomorrow, acos of school (ew). I'll try my best, though! I feel like ED worries have been down to a wonderful low, lately, because of all the support I've received here. It's just that all of y'all are so welcoming and inspiring!
This has been such a great experience so far. Thank you to everyone =D

Mmmm, strawberries! I love to freeze them and blend them together with almond milk. :)

Larabars are really, really, reeeeally good. If you can find it, try the Cocoa Mole- so yummy.

Oreo is so cute! S/he should come live with me. :D

I'm green with envy over your flower pictures. I'm ready for spring to come as soon as possible.
