It's Thursday. Today I wandered around a bit before I got to work. First, I wandered around the folds of my bed and refused to leave them until 7:30 (I normally get up at six), choosing instead to explore that deliciously warm little nook underneath my pillow with my face. It made me feel a lot better about myself as a human being to know that I have a perfect little snuggle spot for my morning "I'm not getting out of bed yet, so I'll turn over onto my stomach and ignore my alarm" moments.

When I got up, I wandered around my house a bit more than normal. I walked in and out of the kitchen and then poked my head outside through the back door, contemplating that this morning was a bit warmer than the last few mornings. Like maybe 42 degrees instead of 28. Then I snatched the tarp off of my lime and lemon trees so they could enjoy the day and hurried back inside to the warmth of my little casa.

Next, I meandered to work. Normally I bike to the train station. However, tut, tut, it looked like rain (and rain it did!) so I needed to drive to the train station. Unfortunately I slept in (well, not so unfortunate for my happily little well-slept eyeballs) so I knew there would be no parking if I drove to the train station. 'd have to break down and drive all the way in to work. (Quarter tank of gas and $12 to park!) If I must, I must. So I took the long way. The way that takes me right down into the heart of downtown to my favorite morning place: The bakery.

This bakery has the most astonishingly delicious Chocolate Croissants that I've eaten in the US (And they even come close to the ones I love in Paris and Acapulco... yes, I did just say Acapulco). They're buttery, flaky, chocolaty, perfection. One of these days I will be able to stop myself from eating the croissant long enough to take a picture. Today is not that day.

When I got to the bakery, I smiled at the workers, who know me quite well and held up two fingers and said to one of them "Two today, please." And she knew I wanted two Chocolate croissants without my having to tell her, because she's cool like that. And while she bagged up my Croissants (No they were not both for me, more on that later) I wandered around the bakery, sampling all of the samples. I walked out about to pop a sample of a new type of cookie in my mouth. And when that cookie sample hit my taste buds, I turned right around and went back in the store for two of them.(To go with the theme of twos). Mocha-chocolate cookies. Oh yummy ambrosia!

I hopped in my little Jeep and meandered back through town to the freeway, munching on my Chocolate Croissant, getting flaky croissant crumbs all over me (yum) and went to work.
Instead of going straight to my office as I normally do, I went upstairs to my little sister's office (Yes, we both work at the same place... funny, eh?) to give my adorably cute, six and a half month pregnant sister a chocolate croissant and a chocolate mocha cookie and took this picture:
