Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs...of Truth

Yes, it's been a long time since I've blogged, but don't think for a moment that I've been too lazy to read...just too lazy to blog.

What has finally motivated me to write an update is an unnatural substance -- Cocoa Pebbles. Let me explain. I never, EVER allow myself to buy my favorite cereals -- namely Frosted Flakes and Cocoa Puffs -- because there's simply no way I can rationalize buying a box of root canals disguised as cereal -- especially not at $5/box. But QFC had this crack-dealeresque sale: 10 boxes of cereal for $10!!! WTF?

I now have a box of nearly empty cocoa pebbles, a half-empty box of Honey Combs (Jamie's fave) and an unopened box of shredded wheat.

Cocoa Pebbles are fucking good. I'm a Cocoa Puffs girl, but the Pebbles have got nothing to be ashamed of. A little unsweetened Almond Milk and you've got yourself a snack that not only satisfies your hunger for breakfast and dessert, but also provides you with a dizzying surge of energy! Hence, my first blog in...whenever...

What have I read?

Lucky Girls -- a short story collection by Nell Freudenberger

The Spook's Apprentice: Revenge of the Witch (co-read with my man) by my man across the pond, Joseph Delaney

A Life -- Robin Quivers' autobiogrpahy

Currently plowing through -- Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell by Susanna Clarke

No, none of these books are on my list and for that I suck. But, I will blog about each of these books and get right back to the list as soon as I'm finished with Strange and Norrell (which is around 7-800 pages...) I would love to start now, but my Pebble Buzz has turned into a Pebble Crash so I've got to sleep now and probably wake up with a god damn Pebble Hangover. More later...
