(The tiny wonky smiles are there to remind me that even when everything seems like anxiety and nausea, there are always moments in the day that reflect the magical laughing sparkling brilliance of life. And, right now, those moments are due to wonderful, wonderful beloved friends making things better.)
Here is what I would like to be eating right now:
A Caramel Mud Cake Peanut Butter Sandwich.
Or:
My Raw Vegan Carob Maple Brownies.
Or maybe:
As I head off to eat cake with my Dad, I’ll leave you with a five second video (taken from the same night as the slow-motion cavorting you’ve already seen) in which my brother tried to take a still photo of me “running on the spot” and instead captured me, well… heaven only knows:
My favourite part is the split second at the end where you see me look over at my mum with an expression of “what on earth am I doing?!” on my face.
I think that’s maybe how I feel right now.
Question Time: What do you wish you were eating at this very moment?
{ 73 comments… read them below or add one }
Oh, you are cuteness. Only the video that is, am not diminishing your feelings of anxiety and nausea – there’s nothing cute about that, and I know because I know. On the upside, somehow I flipping missed this caramel mud cake sandwich, so I’m off to read that and daydream hungrily.
Peace be with you! X
Thank you Laura! Sometimes I see you writing of sleeplessness and deadlines and think “if she can still create a myriad new ice cream flavours in the midst of such craziness, then I too can find the brightness in life”.
Ooh good question! I’ve just been reading blogs so I’m quite hungry at the moment. Luckily I had an early dinner scheduled tonight or things might just get ugly
Teehee, I always have an early dinner… but that’s more so I can fit in my requisite four desserts every night
Not sure if I should admit this but I just found myself staring into the depths of that picture, there’s a 3Dness to it if you look at it for too long. Also, I’m pretty sure there’s pink sparkles spattering everything. Make of that what you will …
Wishing you all the caramel brownie mudcake mapleberry smoothies you can handle
.
It’s totally a Magic Eye. Stare for long enough and you’ll see a baby loris. And thank you
Grill’d chips
that’s be my pick! i’m tired, and when I get tired I crave chocolate or grill’d chips. without fail. I’ve already had chocolate, so…
Hope you’re feeling better soon, lovely.
Heidi xo
Ack! Grill’d opened here last year and I still haven’t been! Bad Hannah!
P.S. There can always be *more* chocolate…
I just showed the picture of the Caramel Mud Cake, Penut Butter sandwich and she said “OMG If I had that right now I would eat it” and now all I can think about is cake
I just went and bought a massive slice of mud cake mmmmm … and it’s all your fault.
I have never been prouder of myself than in this moment.
xo
Showed… your sister? I feel there is a missing work here, but maybe I’m just reading it all wrong?
Haha I just noticed too, showed my friend at work.
AAAAH!! And then my typo actually got it right! We’re so in sync
Thanks for getting that caramel cake stuck in my brain. I mean, peanut butter and caramel? Beyond delicious.
Other than that cake, I wish I were eating Girl Scout Cookies right now. Somehow I have yet to have any this year, and it feels like a crying shame.
Alas, I have never had a Girl Scout cookie! My comparable experience is probably Caramello Koalas that are sometimes sold for fundraisers. Nom nom nom.
hehe I love your brother’s laugh! What do I wish I were eating right now?!! Uhhh how about that wonderful pb sandwich you’re torturing us with? haha, for reals! Yumm
And I hope you’re doing alright Hannah~! And you’re right, when everything seems dark…there’s still always hope and something to smile about. <3
Teehee, I’ll let him know
The sandwich was pretty epic, I must say.
Headmindsquishy is a surprisingly apt word. Yet again, you prove your worth as a word creator
Except, I hope that your headmindsquishy is now more like head mind relaxed…less enjoyable as a phrase but much more enjoyable for one’s head xo
Ah, if only. Hopefully in a few months time!
xo
I want the Caramel Mud Cake Peanut Butter Sandwich.
That seems to be what most people are now yearning for
Great vid – but just too short – I showed it to sylvia to try and calm her down tonight but it only made her want to watch tv – I think she agreed with me that it was too short!
I wish I was eating cherry ripe lollypops – they are the coconut, cherry and condensed milk dipped in chocolate on a stick that I loved when I first made and I loved them again this weekend for sylvia’s birthday – I really have to exercise self control not to finish off the box because then I would really regret it but they taste so good!
*laughs* Oh, that makes me happy! I’ll try to make a longer video of me being an idiot next time
Ah, lollipop sounds so much better to me than cake pop! Probably because I’m not big on cake. I bet my dad would love those
Agree … too short. And I was there to see the whole performance!
Teehee! And you even get to see me “perform” like this super often…
Ah, man. Your recent tweets and Facebook-ings and blog posts have made me worried! When I feel the same way, I try to remind myself that it’s mostly chemical, and not necessarily an accurate reflection of real life… easier to tell oneself than believe, however. (Especially if it’s an entirely accurate reflection of real life — I hope not!)
Time for exercise, inspiring things (like TED Talks?), fresh air, good food! As Tom Haverford would say…
TREAT YO’SELF!
Lovelove to you, Lauren! I just deleted a whole paragraph that I wrote because I remembered how public this forum is, but suffice to say I shall try and convince myself that the real life aspects are just chemical too
One day I will have amazing internet with which to watch TED talks! One day…
Dear Cuddle Bean,
Everything is still sparkly, even when hidden betwixt a cloak of darkness and jagged edges.
Sincerely,
Wonky Smiles
P.S. I love your silly video – where’s the drum beat coming from? You are like an out of control giant squashing a poor town of helpless denizens, all the while grinning like mad. Most enjoyable, pip pip!
This is one of my most favourite comments of yours ever. Oh, I do adore you a little bit. xoxox
P.S. Except I’m a little confused by the drum beats. The sound of my feet? My brother’s laugh? Intriguing…
Or an octopus wondering where on earth its home has gone.
I concur!
*laughs and laughs*
I’d like to be! (badadada) Under the sea! In an Octopus’ Garden! In the Shade!
Oh hope your head feels better soon ~ right now I’d love a piece of that caramel mud cake too ~ whenever i’m feeling tired or sick lol I have serious cravings of chocolate and anything with sugar
Those cravings are daily life for me.
Haha! Nothing like comedy to help bring a smile in the middle of a blah-rrible work day.
I wish I was eating a rich, indulgent, chocolaty piece of cake cake (but I would settle for a nice green smoothie…..)
Teehee, it does seem to be teh cake that has captured people’s attention the most
hmmm,must go and make breakfast now….I’m hungry!
hahah you always manage to make me smile Hannah, but this, this made me LOL
And I know how much you love the LOL heheheh xo
*hugs hugs* Thank you Leah! Teehee!
What do I wish I am eating at the moment? My imagination is running riot today. I am imagining you are singing your favourite up-beat song to yourself today and tomorrow; I am imagining your friends from all around the world are thinking of you and sending you much love and positive vibes; and I am imagining I am getting stuck into something I have never tried before – a caramel mud cake peanut butter sandwich … and it is absolutely delicious!
Why Mike, I think you must be psychic!
And I hope you get to try the sandwich one day 
I’ve had a headache all day and I don’t really feel like eating, so sad
. On the other hand your video totally made me laugh which is great. So maybe I will now eat a cup of miso soup, that will make me feel better for sure.
I had a day like that the day before yesterday, which was one of my clearest signs of being very unhappy and under the weather. Luckily the appetite is returning, so I know things are getting better
Miso is definitely a good choice, and I hope you feel better soon! xo
Hahahaha! I love your video! Totally brilliant!
Teehee! Thank you!
I just had dumplings for lunch and therefore don’t feel like eating at all (a rare occurrence). Though I am still planning on enjoying my Friday night treat of Twisties when I get home.
Twisties! I can’t remember the last time I had those. I think I was more a Burger Rings girl myself
I can’t stop watching that video! Love the flailing arms and whitey-mcwhite-white legs! (Oh and the very messy post-Xmas lunch kitchen!).
You’ll get there Hannah … just hang in there.
*giggles* Me too! I think there’s something about how short it is that lends to pressing “replay” constantly
Hahaha, I hadn’t focused on the whitey-mcwhite-white legs previously, but now they’re blinding me…
I hope you’re feeling better now, Hannah. Did my old foe Mr Migraine pay you a visit after he’d just finished staying in my head for three days…?
Don’t see why we can’t make him set up camp in Tony Abbott’s head forever.
Knock on wood, I’ve never yet been plagued by actual migraines, as my issue is more about overwhelming anxiety and exhaustion. I wish all three of those things would go to Mr TA!
Well considering I just woke up. Some sort of coffee type drink in a bottomless mug. Hell, I’d just settle for hot water with lemon, its cold out there!
Coffee is the most magnificent of all the things.
Hehehe! Hannah, you are adorable!
*laughs* I tend to see “nincompoop” more than “adorable”, but I’ll take it!
P.S. Lovely to hear from you again!
I wish I were eating some white chocolate chips… Oh wait, I am!
Have a great weekend ahead!
THANK GOODNESS THERE ARE STILL SMILEYS IN THE CHAOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My head is a clutter as well currently. Too much going on at a time. Emotionally overwhelmed.
*hugs*
Take care of yourself, darling! Make sure you’re always rummaging around to find the smiles
This is why have so many smileys on my blog. They help me to keep my head above the water!
Mmm, cake sandwich. You are so hilarious, that was the most fun-packed 5 seconds I’ve ever seen!
Best five seconds of my life.
Massive craving for chocolate right now. So thats what I would like right now.
Lots and lots of squishy hugs for you my darling. Things WILL get better
Thank you Sig. They always do xo
I have a cold sinussy headache so strong coffee and even stronger coffee.
Very liberating video!
You mean how I liberated and showcased my inner complete nincompoop, rather than just relying on showing the same through my writing? Indeed
Oh lord, coffee is the greatest in the world. I hope you feel better soon xo
I wish I were eating a pan of raw blondies…with YOU! In all your quirky crazy cuteness.
Me too, my heart, my love. xoxo
I hope your head is not feeling like that any more. I’m getting Lachlan’s head cold at the moment- my head and face feels a bit like that. Urgh. Not good.
Oh no
I wish mine had been only sickness, and not overwhelming stress. At least you knock the former our with industrial-strength panadol and breathing in the steam from a cup of lemon ginger tea! Feel better soon xo
CARAMEL MUD CAKE PEANUT BUTTER SANDWICH?
Mind blown.
How do you keep doing that?!
Bahaha! It’s a gift. A greedy, greedy gift.
