Soup Heaven

So there's supposedly a meteor shower tonight, but there are strips of clouds over the Long Island sky tonight. No meteors for me I guess. :(

I'm exhausted (from doing more of nothing, of course)... but let me give you the run down:

Breakfast was shredded wheat cereal with soy milk and blueberries, and a soft-boiled egg. Lunch was leftover felafel on whole wheat pita with lettuce, those Jesus tomatoes, and the yogurt-cucumber sauce... as well as quite possibly the most amazing soup I have ever devoured. It's roasted red pepper tomato soup... and I swear to God, the minute I am blessed with a food processor in my own kitchen, I will make it one winter afternoon with gourmet grilled cheese. Mark my words!! Dinner was cut-up salmon burgers over salad with lots of other veggies and blueberries and walnuts. Delicious. We also had sweet potato fries (a form of kryptonite for me) and string beans. And of course, for dessert, I had a slice of my light blueberry cheesecake. So sue me. It's made with soy milk people!

I come home on Friday, it's been decided. I was supposed to come home tomorrow, but I really think we need the extra two days. I still have to write her a cover letter, polish her bio, take pictures of some random crap to sell on ebay, compile a list of local press to mail her cover letters to, put together a list of internet and satellite radio stations to write to, put together an EPK, organize her author visit info into a gigantic spreadsheet, and start plotting a road map for her future website. Whew. I'm gonna have a long ass day tomorrow!

Things I'm thankful for today:

-reading on the beach. Nothing like it, really.
-roasted red pepper tomato soup. I think I died and went to heaven momentarily while eating it.
-Sigur Ros. An indie film on Sundance we happened to flip on featured my favorite song by them. It nearly brought me to tears... as usual.
