From a purely fiscal/financial point of view – your friends may have a point. However, I am learning more and more not to discount the “quality of life”/”mental health” factor. A daily trip to the bagel shop is much, much less expensive than therapy! I’d consider it preventative medicine

I love the discription of your bagel moods! I love breakfast, if the sun is shining then I sit on my bench outside the front door and if it¬¥s too chilly I sit on the kitchen counter and enjoy the same view while I have my coffee, bread with cheese or ham and fresh fruit.

My breakfast varies from day to day and we don’t have any good bagels here in Korea unless you count the pathetic frozzen Lender’s variety – blech! When I do have a bagel it’s an everything bagel with scallion cream cheese and tomato slices – my favorite! I too love love love White Oleander. I read it years ago and still think about it. The movie didn’t do the book justice, as is the case most of the time for books made into movied. It’s on my Top 5 Favorite Books of All Time List.

A bagel and a cup of coffee is a heck of a cheap indulgence. This post was hilarious – “hummus = I’m pensive.” Loved it.

All you commenters have really made me WANT to get up early in the morning now, instead of seeing it as a form of virtuous self-discipline. Maybe it’ll stick better this attempt.

I used to be an Eggo-with-peanut butter-and-go person, but I’ve recently learned to sit down and eat a bowl of cereal – it feels very civilized. I’ve been doing oatmeal with chopped up apple and cinnamon lately.

And bagel-wise, I’ll go to Noah’s Bagels and get an “egg mit”, which is a scrambled egg, spinach and swiss cheese, on a Cracked Peppercorn Potato bagel.

i love how your choices reflect your moods… it all sounds quite delicious. i start my day with coffee, and a couple of hours later, yogurt. i keep telling myself to wake up earlier for a proper breakfast but it’s very hard

I am not terribly crazy about bagels unless I’m in N.Y.city or Montreal. Here in T-Dot the bagels are generally not that good. I have to have good coffee in the morning and am presently enjoying Kona, which my offspring brought back from Hawaii. During the week I just do ceral but on weekends we do bacon and eggs, it’s a treat…love reading your blog..ciao

I only dream that I had the energy every morning to celebrate the day! Unless you consider rolling out of bed, taking the pup outside to pee, then making my husbands lunch a celebration? Then, that’s it.

Once he leaves for work, I usually enjoy my “alone time” while I prepare for my day … showering, maybe doing some light cleaning along the way as I make the bed and get dressed.

It’s soothing. For food though, I’m not addicted to Uncle Sam cereal with banana.

Check my emails, cranberry juice, Starbucks Verona blend, a Slim Fast bar and right now the joy of all joys…a half of a pink grapefruit right off my tree!

Hey Kelli what happened to the comment you left on my blog, you have deleted it?

I always start the morning with coffee, milk one sugar, and it has to be in a quiet part of the house where I can wake up gradually!

Today? I just finished blueberry scones I made a few nights ago. It’s was a little stale until I popped it into the toaster oven. Praise the toaster oven! And always, a cup of my favorite coffee–an Ethiopian Yirgacheffe! It’s roasted fresh…that natural sweetness requires so little sugar!

Milk and coffee (note, not a capuccino)

Black or chai tea with milk and Splenda.

Without a cup, I am totally useless.

(I used to meditate, but since Rico got back from Brasil I have altered my routine. This should change…)

First off, I’d never tell you that your bagel habit is a waste of $ b/c I wholeheartedly believe we all need that little harmless something that makes us happy & pampers ourselves in a good way. I like to start my day off with my French Vanilla roast (Folgers!) coffee & my Bloglines & nobody talking to me. Co-workers know not to talk to me before 8:15 (sometimes 8:30…or 9!) It makes me happy to check in with my fellow bloggers/crafters & see how everyone’s doing. Here’s to good mornings, reflecting on ourselves & others!
