so what are you having for lunch today?

i'm having
- a peanut butter and raspberry jam sandwich on whole wheat bread
- a handful (probably multiple handfuls) of organic, generic brand animal crackers
- an orange

your turn.

i am not really feeling life today (it's so overrated sometimes) and yet as grumpy and moody as i am, my love of cooking cannot be stopped.

it's really becoming like a sickness.

for your viewing (and perhaps cooking?) pleasure, i present to you:

this day is going by very slowly. i've had work to do, but have sped through it quickly. i feel like i've got tons of energy inside of me, but nowhere to expel it. i've got the career equivalent of blue balls ( Read more... )
