Those who know me well, know that I LOVE cereal (even more than Coke). I eat at least two bowls of cereal for breakfast every morning. Naturally, I go through cereal like it was going out of style. Katie and I usually stock up on three big boxes of cereal when we go to Costco. This lasts me about a month. She eats cereal only very occasionally. Which is fine with me. We also look out for good sales at the supermarket. So I now find myself situated at a wonderful confluence of events: a "premature" trip to Costco in order to prepare for our housewarming party on Sunday (at which we bought more cereal), remaining cereal from our last trip to Costco, and two separate sales at Pathmark Supermarket--one on Kix (at which Katie bought 3 boxes) and another sale: buy one, get one free on Life and Oh's. So now, instead of Cheerios and Honeynut Cheerios as my only two cereal options (which I don't mind, since I will gladly eat Cheerios any day of the week), I now have, get this: Cheerios, Frosted Flakes, Kix, Life, Oh's, Frosted Mini-wheats, and Honey Bunches of Oats (not pictured).
Each morning I am almost completely paralyzed when faced with the difficult decision of which cereal to ingest. I don't know if you've ever been faced with such an overwhelming sensory overload that you were rendered helpless, but I assure you, it is disorienting and confusing. Sometimes in order to combat this feeling (I am almost ashamed to admit this), I will actually eat TWO DIFFERENT TYPES OF CEREAL for breakfast...can you imagine!? I tend to start with a less sugary one first, and work my way up to a more sugary one. Not that any is totally laden with too much sugar. No Fruit Loops or Lucky Charms here...I can tell you that right now, boy.
I could go on about cereal for some time, but I feel like I might bore some of you. Besides, it's lunchtime--I wonder if we have any milk left?
