Bagel Dog Drinks Coffee

Bagel is the best.

I took him for some free coffee today.

Watching him watch me eat was weird.

I wanted to give him some of my salad and chicken, but I knew I shouldn’t.

He will learn to beg.

So, I locked him up and ate my lunch.

He did manage to drink some coffee though.

If you want to read what he thought go to bagel-dog.com

So, I did 5 loads of laundry today.

Bagel was with me.

Then I ate dinner.

Stromboli.

Bagel watched.

Now it’s time for bed, but Shorty just came in and told me that I washed all the clothes in fabric softener.

How was I supposed to know?

What’s the difference?

Well, at least we will be snuggle fresh.

Pikes Place Coffee Sucks

I remember a time not too long ago when Starbucks was cool.

“What’s that frozen drink you got there?” people would ask.

“A Frappuccino,” I would answer, knowing that I was one of the lucky few.

It was trendy.

Sitting at Starbucks all day was somehow cool.

Now it’s different.

When you sit at Starbucks with your Mac you look like an idiot.

Get an office.

Get a job.

Your ruining my date.

But regardless, I came to the realization that Starbucks coffee sucks.

I prefer McDonald’s.

I crave Dunkin Donuts.

But, Starbucks got another chance today.

They came out with their Pikes Place coffee blend.

Fresh every 30 minutes.

New sexy label.

I walked in, got a large, paid my 1.95 and expected to be enamored again.

Guess what?

It still sucks.

Two hot dogs for breakfast.

I ate them while holding them in a paper towel.

Then coffee.

That pales in comparison to dinner though.

In between, I taught.

I have the best class ever.

But then it happened.

We were hungry.

Drove around aimlessly then decided on Soup Plantation.

I had never been there, but what a concept.

It’s a buffet.

9 dollars a person.

But get this, instead of all the fat people that you normally see, everyone is healthy and goodlooking.

Yes, this is the healthy buffet.

Salads, soups, some pasta and blue jello.

Even the ice cream was healthy.

Wow, what a niche market.

cater to skinny people who like to eat.

I will say though, that I got full on the best salad ever.

Fresh lettuce.

Black Olives.

Banana Squash.

Shredded Carrots.

Pine Nuts.

Red Onions.

Cucumbers.

Rottini Pasta.

Green Peppers.

Topped with thousand Island dressing.

Coffee.

Dessert was vanilla soft serve.

9 bucks.

200 calories.

I did good.

Real good.

Then I made popcorn in oil.

Can’t win them all.

I can’t believe that I was in New York just this morning.

Bu some modern miracle, I took off at 6 am, flew for 8 hours and landed at 10.

I think it has something to do with a flex capacitor, but I wasn’t sure.

San Diego hasn’t changed much since I left.
The airport, looked the same, and shorty had the same car.

It was nice to come back to some consistency.

As we drove down the freeway, (highway for you East Coasters) I marveled at the palm trees, the crystal clear waters and the 70 degree temperature.

Just a few hours earlier I was in the cold weather.

Now, I was back in paradise.

Not to say that I don’t miss the east.

I do.

A lot.

But for now I am in Cali.

I went to an all you can eat sushi buffet for lunch.

Then I took a nap.

Then a Turkey leg for dinner.

Wait, I forgot.

While I was waiting for the leg to cook, I ate a hot dog.

Still not a bad day.

The Three Amigos, which is Spanish for “the two friends” was on TV.

Popped some popcorn and watched it.

It really is a good movie.

I had forgotten.

Yet, as the movie ended, I tried to think about what my El Guapo is.

As of this writing, I am not sure what my personal El Guapo stands for.

I will contemplate and let you know.

But for now, it’s seltzer time.

Just something to think about….

15 dollars for all you can eat sushi.

Think I might get sick?

I ate two pounds of meat.

Seriously.

But, Ill get to that later.

I woke up a bit late and had to run to the airport.

Big trip planned.

Can’t tell you why.

Just wait till Monday.

But anyway.

Get to SD airport and check in.

Was kind of mad that they didn’t give me an aisle seat, but was really happy when I ended up in First Class.

How did I do it?

You want the truth?

Just be polite and you get what you want.

Explain that there is a mistake and that you know it’s not their fault, but if there is anything they can do to help it would be appreciated.

Then smile.

Always works.

If your a chick.

I had to slip the guy a dollar.

So, I am in first class and I get peanuts.

And soda.

I was happy.

Land in Arizona and guess what?

Newark is closed.

I got nervous.

So, I had a frappachino and waited.

Two hours later we took off.

No first class this time, but I did get an aisle seat with no one next to me.

Better than first class.

Free coffee, soda, pretzels, water….I was in heaven.

So, I land in Newark.

It was so dirty.

So cold.

Everyone was fat.

I AM HOME!!!!!

Got picked up, and drove to aunties house.

A feast awaited.

Salami, corned beef, pastrami, rye bread, cole slaw, potato salad, chips, it was what I wanted.

I had two.

Then dessert.

Lace cookies.

If you don’t know what they are you are missing out.

Some more coffee.

Then chilled with the fam.

Called shorty made sure she was ok.

Now playing guitar hero.

I scored 27%

But hey, it’s my first time.

They need to make a Wii game called, Deli Hero.

I would be king.

Ever have a bad day?

You just want to get under the covers and sleep?

I had one of those.

Although , all in all it wasn’t that bad, it still is a day I would rather forget.

It started with coffee.

It always does.

It ended with soda.

It usually does.

In between there was some pretzels and steak.

That’s all.

No snacks today.

To busy thinking about other things.

Forgot I was hungry.

Although, I would gladly trade in thinking about food to have a good day.

Bad days suck.

Some might even call them bad.

Hence the name.

Oh well, New York on Thursday.

Can’t wait.

I was reading in the bathroom today.

I had a choice between Sharper Image and The Economist.

Digesting food makes me feel intellectual, so I flipped open the pages and started reading an article.

It happened to be about Israel and I kept reading.

Biased is not a word to describe this piece.

To be fair, maybe it was just the specific author who hated Israel’s right to exist?

I am not sure.

Dinner was great.

The quiet one made some chicken, soup, salad, cous cous, and potatoes.

I didn’t think I would like her chicken as it had white wine, vinegar, prunes and olives in it.

I have never knowingly eaten anything with prunes in it.

I stand by this statement.

I would never lie about eating prunes.

It never happened and if it did, whoever says so is not telling the truth.

So, I eat the prunes and I must say it was kind of good.

Apple crumble for dessert.

I was good to go.

Coffee afterwards.

Two cups.

Now I am up at 330 am.

Great choice.
