in preparation for a new week.

i like orange.
i like oranges.
i like a few orange foods:

• baby carrots and t. marzetti's light ranch dip.
• pumpkin gooey butter cake. (very dangerous dessert, people. should come with a warning.)

i will wear an orange shirt to work tomorrow.

warning: orange in, orange out. i'm just saying.

I am feeling decidedly poopy, so this post is dedicated to things that make me smile. Enjoy!

*The most awesome Crystal Light in the history of the planet. Try this. You won't be disappointed.
*The Mamma Mia! soundtrack. I have been listening since I bought it and I love it for all of it's cheesy, musical goodness. (Have I mentioned that Mamma Mia! made me cry? I'm pretty sure that wasn't supposed to happen, but it did. First 27 Dresses, now this. I clearly should not see any additional comedies.)
*Belkin's neoprene sleeve is like a cozie for my laptop! What's not to love?
*Do yourself a favor and make this for breakfast one day. You will be very, very happy you did. Unless you have lactose issues. Then you'll be siiiiiick. Even then, you should really give it a whirl. It's that good. You can even pour it on the cat and eat it off of him. And I don't even like cats.
*Speaking of food, you might also consider having oatmeal one day. Not that instant mushy business, but the kind you have to cook. On the stovetop. It's actually quite tasty. Okay, it might be the tablespoon of brown sugar I hid in the bottom of the bowl, but whatever it takes man. Whatever it takes.
*While I was in Puerto Rico, Michele made pancakes with this baking mix one morning and they were perfect! I am a bit of a pancake lover, and these were light and fluffy and full of tasty goodness. The mix is pricier than many other, easier-to-find options, but the quality is better too. Give it a spin. Lemme know what you think.

Of course, this post is about stuff, and I know that stuff is just stuff, blah blah blah. The best things in life aren't things, yada yada yada.

But good waffles and a laptop cozie?
Sheer awesomeness.
(But not together of course. Silly.)

I have come to fully realize that I am a liberal hippie. I don't mean to be, but in contrast to my Dad and sister, I am so far to the left, they can't even see me. That's an entirely different post, though.
