I am a creature of habit. I wake up at 5:30 a.m. on weekdays & 7 a.m. on the weekends. I eat a bagel thin with whipped cream cheese & a glass of orange juice. I drink 2 cups of black coffee. I watch the news. I work on the blog.
This is my routine. This is my happy time. I don’t want anything coming in between me & my happy time.
Unfortunately, someone in my household discovered smoothies this week. Guess what liquid he uses in his new treats? MY ORANGE JUICE.
Went to pour today’s glass – only a swig left…
