We've been having a heat wave for the past few days with temperature highs in the 90's. (And of course our AC is broken at home and no one has the stupid fuse we need to fix it! But I digress.)
On the drive to work this morning, I was hungry and thought a nice cold orange smoothie from Jamba Juice sounded delicious. I would just be a few minutes late. So I went and the place was empty except for one other customer. The guy who helped me looked so young. I wanted to say, "Shouldn't you be in school?" But I just thought it as I stared at the poor kid's budding mustache.
Anyway, I ordered the large Orange Dream Machine figuring that a large should be more than enough to last me through morning. Then the kid asked if I wanted oatmeal. I told him, "No, thank you," and then he told me how they just made a fresh batch and it was warm and they had apple cinnamon, blueberry, blackberry and banana. How could I resist? So I ordered the blackberry. That kid oughta be in sales!
So my fat ass strolled into work a few minutes late with a large smoothie (I forgot to change it to a small after the oatmeal order) and some oatmeal. Somehow in between the 5 minute drive from Jamba Juice to my work I lost the oatmeal spoon. Thank goodness we have spoons here!
The oatmeal looked gross when I first took off the lid. It was all purplish black goo. But of course that was just the blackberry topping. Because once I dug in - sheer heaven. It was all warm. The oatmeal was all creamy and had some crunchy things in it. The blackberry topping was all sweet. Mmmm.
Dang, now that I think about it, I just spent over $8 on breakfast!
It kind of reminds me of the scene from The Golden Child when Eddie Murphy pokes the pot of oatmeal on the stove and blood seeps through. Unfortunately for me, I have no special powers and no one is trying to kill me by feeding me tainted oatmeal.
