Godsend in a Bottle

I think I’m going to start adding pictures to my blog.  Pictures are worth a 1000 words and some things you just have to see to believe.  Also, I’ve heard that Facebook is going to be overtaken by a secret group of hackers on November 5.  If that happens, I don’t know what I’ll do after I cry all my tears into my pillow.  I also feel like within the next 2-3 years, I’ll be phasing out of Facebook.  There’s really no point to it except to be nosey, but it depends on the friendships I develop and the ones I want to keep.  We’ll see.

I also love telling my stories that require more characters than a FB status will allow.   It’s a great outlet for winding down at night.  But it does take more time and makes my joints hurt from all this typing. 

Plusses and minuses.

One of my favorite things in America is Tropicana’s Simply Orange Juice.  It is a religious and expensive experience that is worth more than it’s $2.50 a bottle.  Swallowing the elixir is a savory moment in time when all background noises and conversations fade to the distance and you listen to the swish in your mouth of the South American orange juices flow past your uvula and down your esophagus. 

Aaaahhhh….bliss.

Well today, I went jogging for 24 minutes (I’ll speak on this in a later entry whenever I remember to) which ended up being 2 miles.  I drank a Naked Juice for breakfast and ran off to go teach.  It was 3pm before I got to eat breakfast.  As soon as I was done teaching and answering my kiddos’ questions, I raced over to the cafeteria and bought a slice of pizza, mixed vegetables, rice, and a cinnamon roll.  I shook some salt on the veggies and rice and scarfed it all done without even tasting it.  What a waste of $11 if you can’t even remember it.  Sad moment.

The best part of the lunch was the juice (refer to photo).  I had NO idea that Tropicana made grape juice and was just geeked to try it.  If it was anything in caliber and quality to their orange juice, I just KNEW my tastebuds would be in for a treat.

And it was all that I could imagine and more.  It was like Communion in a 12 ounce bottle.  I hadn’t had a glass of grape juice in YEARS and will definitely have to make this occasion happen more often. 

Blessings to everyone!
