When you drive down the main street in Westport, there is ALWAYS a cop car...

except on closer examination ...

it's a dummy. i swear westport is the weirdest place ...

So the other week I was at the starbucks in my building - real starbucks that is, not the fake ones in the microsoft cafeteria - and the barista told me about how if I used my starbucks card and registered it online I would get free 'modifiers'.

Firstly I'm glad that other companies have totally retarded terms that normal people don't understand - Modifiers? Like what the hell is that? I had to have the barista explain it to me. But most importantly, she meant things to add to your coffee like syrups or soy would be free. Yahoo! Since I get the most redonk drink - triple venti soy half the syrup cinnamon dolce latte, this promo actually is pretty worth it for me to put c couple bucks on my card to save some money. Sure, I'd save like 10x the money if I stopped drinking lattes all together but that's a different issue.

Update: of course the next day I lost my card. Sigh.

I feel so lazy, I have nothing of substance to really talk about other than everyone is getting married (yay pekkle! tho that makes me the old hag of barkada, but whatever) and I'm moving to my new office next week. Yeeeeehaw! Anyway...here's my attempt to not have a totally stale blog w/ my recent mini obsessions

Dorset cereals - the best tasting granola with the best looking packaging I've seen so far (ok, fine, it IS granola so its not like there is stiff competition but it's actually pretty nice). I've only tried the berries and cherries, but I'm hooked. I'm sure its full of sugar but who cares? It tastes great w/ yogurt in the morning.

Cadbury mini eggs. no, not the ones full of gooey crap. I'm talking the candy coated chocolates...I may or may not have stock piled like 20 bags of it but whatever...last year my 6 bags only lasted me thru the summer so I figured this year I better REALLY stock up. Yes, I know, that's totally ridiculous and kind of disgusting. Well fine then. I'm not sharing.

Anything involving broccoli. haha, seriously :) this isn't my fave (yet? ever?) since i haven't tried it, but I'm semi-obsessed with eating broccoli right now (not really sure why but I've been craving it ever since last week when we were at Black Bottle w/ their blasted broccoli). I'm going to try this recipe sometime this week: Garlicky Sesame-cured broccoli salad

So it finally happened after months and months of me mistreating my poor stella mccartney bag...the handle/strap is coming a bit loose so I have to find a good tailor (?) to fix it...

It does make me realize that I have been carrying the same bag for over a year and a half (gasp, I know, ghetto) so maybe its time I get a new one anyway? I've been looking around online (since I'm not allowed to shop until may), and seriously, its slim pickings! I mean, I am going to be carrying this bag every day to and from work so it better be good looking (and sturdy) - I've yet to see anything that I love that isn't stupid expensive.

Any good suggestions? Only a little over a month until I can shop again. whoo hoo!
