inkyblog: peanut butter, chocolate and obsessions

finally taking
a deeeeep breath :| the first week of middle school and first grade is over (and it was exhausting/teeth clenching/stress-inducing/overwhelming) it's like watching your kid step onto a tight rope with no net, and no matter how hard you try to keep your balance on their behalf, and hope for ideal conditions, you just have to cross your fingers and hope for the best :|

completely adoring
Danny's new thmile (soo sooooo cute and soooo perfect for first day pictures)

desperately trying
to not think about peanut butter and chocolate together in little cracker sandwiches... this week i taste-tested some ahhhhmazing nutella/peanut butter cracker sandwich thingies and now i can think of nothing else, day and night :| i have carefully tried to recreate them but nothing comes close to the awesomeness of those real, mass-manufactured, over-processed cracker sandwiches :)

desperately seeking
the perfect San Diego hotel. i want to stay at the Hotel Del Coronado but the yelp reviews are 3.5/5.......... and yelp is kind of like our hopeless thermometer, you have to minus 2 to give a true reading ;)

curiously wanting
to go to Knotts Berry Farm tonight - and it's 7pm!!!

also really wishing
i could go to Vegas and buy a hedgehog and call him Mr Pricklepants - they are on sale at Pet Kingdom this week for only $149.99! but since i am scared to even take a starburst through the CA checkpoint, i am sure i couldn't possible smuggle a hedgehog successfully :(

also really really wishing
i could cook.... but it's just so much easier to a) eat breakfast all day b) go out to eat

repeatedly playing
'it happened today' even though nothing much happened today ;) i did get red AND green grapes at the 99 cent store and a new basketball net but it hardly warrants REM writing a song about it ;)

kind of obsessing
over flax seed and green tea

somewhat disliking
Mrs Robinson :| i watched The Graduate for the first time last night, and had to turn it off after 15 minutes because she made me mad :| also: i never knew Art Garfunkel didn't co-write with Paul Simon... which doesn't explain why i like Simon and Garfunkel so much more than Paul Simon...

off to play basketball with Danny and then ultimately decide 7pm is far far too late to go to a theme park ;) xoxox

off to middle school :)
