I love food.

Right now I'm eating what's leftover of my breakfast, which was a small baggie of Multigrain Cheerios. I love Cheerios because they're healthy, they're a cute shape, and they're tasty. My top five favorite cereals are:

1. Life
2. Smart Start (with milk)
3. Kix (no milk)
4. Quaker Oat Squares (no milk)
5. Peanut Butter Crunch

I'm on a budget since I'm going to L.A. in a few weeks, so I have to bring lunch on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. When the semester first started I brought a sandwich to eat before class on those days, but sandwiches get very boring and repetative. I tried to mix it up, like turkey and hummus on whole wheat or turkey and hummus in pita bread, but it didn't matter too much because I got tired of eating it. Plus the cucumber, romaine lettuce, and tomatoes would make the sandwich a little soggy if I didn't eat it before 12 pm. Plus it's oh so tempting to just walk to the cafeteria and buy a hot buttery grilled cheese sandwich. I don't know what type of sandwich I'm going to make next. PB and J?

So I'm a little obsessed with the Food Network. I can lie on my bed and watch it for hours. Maybe it's the domestic side of me that wants to break free and turn me into a future housewife. I love Tuesdays and Thursdays because I don't have class and I have to be at work at 12:30, which means that I can watch Barefoot Contessa, Semi-Homemade, Paula's Home Cooking, and Everyday Italian before I go to work. I don't care too much for Semi-Homemade, so I usually prepare my lunch when that show is on. Good food always makes me feel good, and FoodTV is great inspiration to cook tasty food.

I've been wanting to cook an actual dinner for Aaron and myself for some time now, but since he doesn't have off from work (and because we don't live together yet) often I haven't been able to. If I were to cook for him, he'd have to come over to my house and I'd have to cook dinner for my entire family, which is fine but then there would be no romantic aspect to it. I also don't know what I would make; Aaron likes steak, porkchops, lamb, and fried chicken. I still have to think about it. I'm getting hungry just thinking about it.

Apple tea?

In case you're wondering, I really love tea. Iced tea, hot tea, green tea, black tea, peach tea, almost any kind of tea. While debating what to name this new blog, I was looking at the label of the apple iced tea that I was drinking. Apple tea? It's cute, it's clean, it's fun. Apple tea is also one of my favorite tea flavors. It probably comes from the fact that I loved to drink apple juice when I was a kid. Plus 'Apple Tea Please' sounds better than 'Diet Coke Please.'

Last night I was able to squeeze in some quality time with Aaron. Katie and I are going to visit Amanda in Orange County for President's Day weekend, and I realized that I need a handbag that's suitable for travel (in other words, has a zipper). All of my handbags are either totes or have the magnetic snap that barely closes the bag. Katie accompanied Aaron and I to Ala Moana, and I found the perfect Adidas handbag (dark brown, medium sized, on sale for almost half-off) and it has a zipper! I actually wanted this quilted Aldo handbag that kinda looks very faux-Chanel but Aaron told me not to get it.

Tomorrow I have a Latin test that I'm 20% prepared for, and the 20% is because I'm being tested on material that I learned last semester. Ack! I should've studied last night but I was working on other homework. I'll have to cram everything into tonight. Chris from Spunge called me to tell me that I don't have to come in to work tonight; boo, that means I'm not getting paid. Oh well, a good grade is worth a lot too!

In the beginning...

First post!

I finally managed to break away from my Xanga and create a new exciting blog. Ah, the Xanga days...when I would write all my entries in lowercase and post dozens of surveys. Chris, my boss at Spunge (where I intern), said that most of the users on Xanga are women. I wonder why that is; maybe because women tend to write down accounts of their day or random thoughts more than men do. Well that's a whole 'nother can of worms.

So this blog will be different. All the entries will probably be about personal stuff. My friend Sheri and I are planning on starting a line of accessories (handbags, wallets, jewelry, etc.), so hopefully when that takes off more entries can be about business.

Anyway, boring first entry. More exciting entries up ahead.
