Glorious Morning

Today is a glorious day, for many reasons. Last night we stayed up late talking to some Germans and an American, but I still woke up early. I burned my thumb trying to start a gas burner, but that was okay, it woke me up. For breakfast, I ate an egg, which is something I don't eat very often. Also... this is the best part.... I FINISHED MY WEETABIX!!!!!!!!!!!!! I guess as a slightly lower note, I finished my low fat berry yogurt as well, which was really gross. I don't care if low fat is cheaper, it is also grosser. But, back to the weetabix. For those of you that don't know, it is bran flakes in bar form. So you put it in milk and crush it up and eat it. It's not all that bad, but when you buy a 24 pack and eat it every morning, it gets kind of gross. There are many different ways to try (key word *try* meaning that success is not really achieved) to make it interesting. You can eat it in milk or yogurt. The plus side of eating it with yogurt is that it doesn't get soggy that quick, so you can eat it at a more leisurely pace (I'm pretty slow at eating in the morning). But, the downside is... if you bought some yogurt... say in a 1kg container and realized you didn't like it, you still have to finish it. Meaning: weetabix+ gross yogurt (strawberry or mixed berry)= gross breakfast. But, if you eat it with milk or yogurt and really want to spice it up, you may mix in bananas! That makes the flavors of those plain bran flakes really come out (not really, but it covers it up a bit). Or you can just eat the weetabix with milk and sugar. If you're feeling really adventurous (or flavour deprived), spreading peanut butter on each bar will really make it taste better. But... after writing all this, I can appreciate the fact that I will not be eating weetabix for a really long time, I will be finding a new, more interesting kind of cereal that will taste better and make me happier in the morning. Yesterday was good, we went to this cultural park called Te Puia to learn about Maori culture and go see geysers and boiling mud pools. Today will be better, because I have eaten an egg and finished my Weetabix. But... I am sure that tomorrow will be best, because I will be having toast with peanut butter for breakfast!!!!!!!!!
