It was a lazy day. I lounged on the couch all day (with my laptop.) But I did even take a nap...wile the S.O. was playing Rock band, if you can believe it.

I guess not all kids like me.
You may have noticed I'm a creature of habit. I hope I haven't just started a new one.
Now, whenever I got to Whole Foods down my way in the South Bay and have need of a dessert, I pick up the Black China Bakery vegan chocolate cake. It's dense and rich. This is the Bakery that made my wedding cakes. I love this cake.
It has always disturbed me that when I go to buy cakes up near my office for office birthdays, they don't carry the Black China cake. Instead they carry a vegan cake with a bunch of fruit on top made in their own bakery, and in my opinion, severely lacking.
Until yesterday, when i saw a new breed of vegan cake in the Whole Foods bakery case: A Vegan Mousse Cake.
And it was yummity yummy.
Oh noes! Must. Not. Seek. Excuses. To. "Need". Cake!!!
Breakfast:
Soy Latte
Vegan Scone
Lunch:
Whole Foods salad bar, including Tofu, Edamame, Corn, Beets, Broccoli, Pumpkin Seeds, Giganta Beans, Celery
Cashews
Vegan Mousse Cake
Dinner:
Russet Potato with Corn, Soy Margarine, Tofutti Sour Cream and Nutritional Yeast
Yes, Wednesday I spent 12 hours, literally, sitting at my computer, barely getting up to go to the bathroom and fix some food and occasionally take a phone call from my couch, not my chair.
Before you lecture me: Yes, I realize that is bad for me. Stretching=good. Regularly walking around=good. Sitting in one place for 12 hours=not good.
BlogHer is two weeks away, people, cut me some slack!!
I did, however, go for a nice long walk around the neighborhood with a friend in the evening, before settling down to watch other people exert themselves in So You Think You Can Dance.

They rendered last night's fireworks kind of useless. We'll see what the Fourth has in store.
Time to make something happen.
