Reaching

Yesterday, I had a sore back. So I spent about an hour slouching on my bed on top of a heat-mat-thing, and I didn't want to move. But I was bored. I got the idea to draw a little wagon on my daily quote calendar, in honor of Pioneer Day. After some strenuous reaching, I managed to grab it.


But my pencil was another matter.


Determined not to get up off of my aching and lazy butt, I tried again.



After many attempts, I simply grabbed my shelves, and yanked them towards me to reach my pencil. Thank goodness for wheels.

How To Eat Cereal in a Way That is Both Satisfying and Lady-Like: A Tutorial

We all know that there are those foods that taste wonderful, but make you look uncivilized while eating. Sure you're really not civilized, but you don't want anyone to know.


One food, for me in particular, is cereal.

I, having a strong aversion to eating cereal with milk, using a spoon, find it difficult to eat cereal like a lady/civilized human being without eating slowly. And eating slowly just doesn't get you the satisfactory crunch of many bits of cereal meeting their doom between your molars.


This is a very pleasurable way for me to eat cereal. But how would I feel if someone recorded me eating cereal this way, and then played me the video? I might just get sick to my stomach, because I'm weird that way. And honestly, what would I do if I had to eat cereal in the presence of some cute guy?? This looks fine, but really isn't up to par on the satisfactory rating:


If you don't happen to mind eating your cereal one piece at a time, holding it delicately between your thumb and forefinger, then by all means, do this. It looks wonderful. (in my head)

But for me, I can't manage to do this for more then ten pieces of cereal, give or take.


So the question arises: how can I, and others like me, eat cereal in a way that is both cute and satisfying? Honestly, I don't know and would like answers.

So much for a tutorial, huh?
